Jane Remover Removed From M3F Fest After Band Demand

Singer Jane Remover has been removed from the lineup of the M3F Festival in Phoenix, Arizona, following a demand that the Israeli band Temper City be dropped from the event. The festival released an updated lineup poster for its 2027 event that no longer lists Remover, while Temper City remains scheduled to perform. Remover reportedly issued an ultimatum to festival organizers on August 5, 2026, stating, "Get that IDF band off the lineup or I'm not playing." The exact circumstances of Remover's departure remain unconfirmed, as neither the festival nor the artist has publicly explained the reason for her absence from the revised poster. Flying Lotus has been added to the lineup in the position previously held by Remover. Public reporting indicates that Jane Remover's demand was directed at Temper City, an alt-rock trio based in Los Angeles. While Remover referred to the band as an "IDF band," reporting suggests this characterization stems from past comments made by Temper City's frontman, Eytan Peled. In a 2023 interview, Peled discussed his military service in Israel, describing it as an influential period in his life.
