Furnace Fest 2022 Tour • Page 15

I am flying to this (saturday only) for elliott. holy shit what a dream come true. I remember hearing calm americans and drive onto me for the first time when I was 15, nearly a decade ago.

don’t go to shows anymore really but SDRE reunion, appleseed cast, cursive, the spill canvas,… it’ll be so fun

 

At the mewithoutYou farewell tour in Atlanta tonight with ‘68 opening Josh Scogin came out and they did Aaron’s part of Memphis Will Be Laid To Waste and I didn’t think I would ever see that and it was quite the experience.

 

I’ve wanted to see that forever. Jealous.

 

They called it Memphis Of Men on their set list.

 

God that's so sick

 

Anyone have any leads on Preshows?

 

Sweet. I can just drive down Friday morning and save a night in the hotel.

 

Might hit up the one with shai hulud. Would be cool to see if Chad from new found was doing vocals

 

Considering I missed both Unearth and Evergreen Terrace last year, due to my intense anxiety about the shed, I will absolutely be there

 

I’m so curious to see with how other tests are selling poorly if FF does well. They are starting to give more ticket deals which I don’t think is a good sign

 

I get why they did it (and respect it), but I think not rebooking 40-50% of last year’s undercard is a big reason here if they’re not selling as well. I know at least four folks not going this year who went last just because the billing isn’t “as good.”

 

They are doing a BOGO deal for anyone who attended last year's FF. That's awesome of them to do.

 

I wonder if they’d let me have it even if I already bought a ticket

 

I went last year and I'm not going this year, if there's any way anyone wants to use me for their discount let me know and I'll see if I can help.

Edit: I see now there is a promo code in the email... If anyone wants it DM me and I'll send it over, I'm not sure if you can use it more than once.

Edit 2: It's just a generic code so here it is "FFSTIMMY". Supplies are limited and it should work until July 21st.

 

I’m scared this thing isn’t selling well.

 

I mean it obviously isn’t, but hopefully not bad enough that they don’t come back next year. The lineup just isn’t as special this year and a lot of the bands on it tour regularly which isn’t gonna draw right now given the current economy and prices of everything.

 

I just wonder how bad is bad enough to cancel.

also yes I will take half my money back thanks lol

 

Mostly joking, but it would be nice to not have to wait an hour for food each time if the crowds are smaller.

 

This year's lineup is weaker than last year's and there are much more alternatives this year. last year was a week after Riot Fest which many people think would not happen because of COVID up until 2-3 months before the event.

 

Last year was absolutely incredible. It was a ton of peoples first show back, captured nostalgia bands from so many different genres, and had incredible new blood up up and down the lineup. This year has some great stuff but somethings missing. I attended last year had plans with the same people this and we all kinda went Meh at the lineup.

 

To be honest, their target market should always be the bands associated with the Tooth & Nail scene and then other bands sprinkled in. Feels like they started with the other bands this time and there’s not enough nostalgia from that subculture.

If they’d started with something like the Blindside announcement first like they did with Beloved and then built up from there there would be a lot more hype I reckon.

 

Little ashamed that they don’t know that the plural for “vinyl” is “vinyl” but it’s fine

 

I want VIP, but I really don’t want to pay for it. Don’t have anyone splitting hotel/gas/parking with me this time around.

 

They're teasing an announcement (not a band, not set times) tomorrow (8/17) at noon eastern in the Facebook group.
