I love the idea of local bands being smart enough to read their contract and think it sounds like a scam.
"I am the bad boy of not just promoters but the whole ... I do crazy things. I still play XBOX and stuff. I have a vision."
Everything he says is basically “look, I made an awesome festival. It’s not my fault if my fans don’t see that”
It’s been the same BS since the beginning while not addressing the teases, the “this is gonna blow wwwy out of the water” the ticket price, the telling people they will get a refund, not opening the marketplace.
I’d never even heard this guy speak before and he even sounds like a dumbass “Festicle” suddenly makes a lot more sense
15 minutes of self congratulation so far. For someone who wants to focus on the future all he can talk about is taking credit for popularizing artists
This coming from the guy who booked Papa Roach and Limp Bizkit. If his target market truly is teens and early 20s, much of his audience likely wasn’t even alive for Break Stuff and Last Resort.
Urgh I'm only 6 minutes in and he's already lying. "Firefly is no more, Rolling Loud can't come back to NYC." Both lies. Firefly has confirmed they're taking this year off but coming back in 2024. Rolling Loud NYC has to do with the venue. It's typically held at Citi Field, but too much construction is gonna go down this year at that location as they build the new soccer stadium and casino. I'll most likely be back in 2024. Trying to make it sound like Bamboozle is the last east coast music festival hahaha. He didnt even acknowledge Governor's Ball.
Anyone else remember sometime in 2021-2022 when he said Bamboozle was going to be the biggest fest on the east coast?? Now it’s like the 3rd or 4th biggest fest in New Jersey
Let me know if he ever actually addresses anything of note other than explaining why people don’t want to go to his festival and they are wrong.
Now he's trying to make it sound like he booked Drake when they were still an underground act. When Drake was announced, Best I Ever Had was already the #2 song in the country, along with I'm Going In being in the Top 40. He was a huge name, stop trying to push this "we were about artist development, not headliners" narrative. He's making the same argument for his booking of Kesha.....who also had a years worth of top 10 songs before playing Bamboozle, and even then she wasn't a headliner.
Wait did he actually say that the Coachella lineup wouldn't sell well in New Jersey? I can't anymore...
