Bamboozle 2023 Tour • Page 31

There’s also no reason to believe they haven’t announced a good number of the later in the day acts already. The top however many artists on the lineup aren’t listed ahead of the alphabetical ones for no reason. It’s not just a coincidence

 

There is a part of me that wonders if this is really the lineup they wanted or if it’s just too hard to compete with livenation and other big corporations to get these acts. Which is sad if it’s the case (but maybe isn’t at all)

 

We are all going with a magician being announced today?

 

I’m predicting a Slovakian Balloon Artist and his pet snail

 

I’m going to guess the Chuck E Cheese animatronic band.

And I think Chris Angel is way too big of name for the magician. It is going to be some one just as bad but no one has ever heard of.

 

The good news for today’s announcement is you can’t possibly do worse than a puppet


unless

 

I just cannot understand the decision to break up the announcement if you didn’t have good acts to announce every day. You are just calling more attention to the bad bookings. This is such an unforced error.

 

I was scrolling through John D's old IG and Facebook posts, and he did say something back in June that there were "multiple" competing music festivals of this genre coming to Atlantic City in 2023 which was making bookings difficult. So I'm curious if we've got another fest to look forward to.

Also noticed he said a while back that one of their headliners is an act that is making their big return in 2023. Another reason to think it's FOB.

 

Its the last 3 days, so there must be something good, right?

Speaking of, we are still waiting on the 6(?) reunions they talked about

 

Honesty, if they somehow convinced Will Arnette to perform shitty illusions in character as Gob Bluth and called that their magic act, I’d take back everything I’ve said about this festival and buy a ticket.

 

Does Finch count?

 

I assume finch and say anything are two of them

 

I assume both count even though their reunions were announced at WWWY first

 

Ok they’re definitely fucking with us now, right?

 

They announced a poet so now there clearly just trolling

 

This dude just hangs out at every john d thing. This can’t be real

 

Oh my gooooooood

 

Okay yeah today is definitely a troll

 

This is an extremely dumb question but I am not a lawyer so I don’t know the answer:

If, when all is said and done, the lineup is not what was promised by John D, and what he described the lineup to be is not what it ends up being (which is basically how it is now), do ticket buyers have any (legal) recourse? Or are they just out of luck/the money? I’m assuming they can’t do anything, which sucks, and there will be no market for resale.

 

If they want to have these puppets and poets at the festival that’s fine, but make one announcement with all the non musical acts. Doing this day by day is just so weird

 

Rrally hope phase 3 is great and shut our mouths, this isnt funny anymore

 

I highly doubt it. There was nothing about buying a ticket that guaranteed anything about the lineup. Bamboozle didn’t actually make any promises on who would be playing. Definitely a case of, “well you bought the ticket without knowing the final lineup, that was your own choice so you accepted the risk”.

 

Imagine being so tone deaf that you are angry that the public is angry about the quality of your festival, so you make an announcement to make them even angry….people that you need to buy tickets. I’ve been going to shows for 25 years now and this is absolutely the oddest strategy I’ve ever seen

 

He never promised specific acts and even if he did most legal paperwork comes with "lineup subject to change at any moment" nowadays. So ignoring blatant fraud, it's buyer beware.

 

Maybe his mission the past few weeks has been to make the first wave look good by comparison
