Music on the Half Shell has added a new rule regarding minors in attendance. Half Shell Committee President Clint Newell said effective now all minors near the concert area in Stewart Park must be accompanied by an adult parent or guardian. Newell said with the increasing number of minors in the area that seem to lack regard for the concerts or the patrons, adult supervision has become necessary due to the violence that has recently occurred.

Newell said it is regrettable to implement this change, but for now it is necessary. In a press release, Newell said Music on the Half Shell has a history of providing enjoyable concerts for everyone and will continue to do what it takes to deliver great experiences going forward.
