Easy fix is to give a $20 food/bev voucher to all 100 people who bought tier 1 and call it a day. John D will not do that though.
I just got an email from Barclays Center about more seats being released for the upcoming A Boogie show. So that's probably why they had to blur his name - waiting for it to be "sold out" before announcing another tri-state show. But still, how terrible are you at negotiating contracts that you still can't announce your festival headliner 3 months before show day?
So at what point does he have a complete meltdown? People are sharing screenshots in the comments of when he said the early bird would be the absolute cheapest tickets would ever be!!!
You guys, I have an idea: Let’s buy all the tickets and get John D’s hopes up and stuff. And then Bamboozle comes around, right? And like only ten people actually show up
Bad Omens posted on social media that they’ll be playing. They shared yet another version of the lineup where them and Trippie are on there but everyone else has “????” in its place
100% brought this on himself 100% in the past year teased MCR, FOB, Midtown delivered none Promised the best Bamboozle lineup ever. Made fun of Adjacent fest and their headliners Made fun of bands that just play 1k clubs regularly Asked people to trust him and buy in. Snarky to people that asked questions Mocked people with concerns Failed to meet deadlines several times Promised the early bird would be the cheapest and on tier 2 lowered the price Bands that are advertised saying they aren’t playing Deleting people pointing out those bands aren’t playing Charging the most of just about any festival minus Coachella and honestly not that far off. did I miss anything?
I had no idea Trippie Redd made a rock album with Chino Moreno on a song Was also thinking what a slap in the face that is to Trippie and the others to book them as headliners and then post on social media "we didn't get real headliners this year."
So one thing the festive owl on Fb pointed out in the comments, Fred had a pretty serious back injury and it is far from a go that they are definitely gonna end up playing this.
I would imagine they'll see how things go and make a decision within a week or two of those dates. They probably want to maximize the chances that it might be feasible. There's also a chance that he does some European dates and winds up getting re-injured, decide it's better to call it before he gets injured again, etc. It's a coin toss in any direction for those of us who are outside observers, TBH.
There are like 6 different versions of this poster floating around and I have no idea which is the correct one.
unreal. man, I had such high hopes for this fest, such a bummer. I'm happy I didn't buy tickets but feel bad for people who did
FOB and Thrice announcing their respective tours right after this lineup dropped leaves me just shaking my head at this festival.
I dont find the lineup to be offensively bad, if I was given free tickets I would definitely have a fun weekend. But at that price point..... Add on the fact that Adjacent's daily lineup breakdown makes it all the more appealing, the FOB and Thrice tours getting announced this week, Boygenius headlining that ReSet touring fest, and the pretty impressive Sad Summer lineup. Bamboozle sadly is getting lost in the shuffle and I'm skeptical if it'll even sell enough tickets to actually happen.
Member their bullshit about radius clauses? As if any of their artists have a radius clause that matters. i called bullshit then but it made sense to think FOB was gonna play a bamboozle exclusive, since we knew they were gearing up for something.
