High & Low Fest 2017 Tour • Page 5

In what fuckin world does Citizen draw a bigger crowd than Pup?

 

Twenty minute walk to my car now byyyeeee

 

Lol my car is here and there's only one other in the lot.... @JRGComedy?

 

That would be me! So sorry we didn't meet up, my phone died about 20 minutes into Brand New's set.

 

That was an awesome show. Happy all around, glad I made the drive out.

 

Home. Hope y'all made it back safely

 

@JRGComedy no worries ma dude. I'm sure we'll run into each other at another show sometime

 

in all worlds, citizen is much bigger than pup right now

 

I had no idea

 

How was the turnout for this? I had a feeling it was moving tickets too well.

 

Pretty right down the middle. I wouldn't call it a huge success, but there were people there

 

There is just no way. Why is Pup getting booked national music festivals and Citizen isn't then?

 

because pup is in the scene that plays national music festivals and citizen isn't?

the devil wears prada doesn't play national music festivals and they're much much bigger than those bands. citizen's tour is playing bigger venues and will draw more people than a pup headlining tour

 

what ever you say but Citizen is touring with Sorority Noise who literally once replaced Pup on a tour. They certinaly have overlap

 

Overlap, yes. But pup has critical acclaim and NPR backing while citizen is more in the warped tour realm

 

So the band without NPR backing and critical accalim is bigger?

 

yes? a day to remember is one of the biggest rock bands in the world and they have zero critical acclaim outside of niche metal pubs

 

A Day to Remember being one of the biggest rock bands in their genre or the world is a big difference but I don't understand how this debate exists if Citizen and Pup were both just at the same event with low and behold Pup billed first

 

just because bands were billed in one way doesn't mean one is bigger? i saw cheap girls headline over the front bottoms and everyone left after the front bottoms

 

Not that Facebook likes are everything but Citizen has about 3x the likes of PUP.

 

facebook likes and venue size, citizen easily wins

PUP has more current momentum and the critical acclaim but that's it right now

 

Festivals often are booked months in advance too. At the time, it may not have been apparent that Citizen was bigger, so Pup got the bill. Citizen's stock is definitely rising right now with their new album coming, whereas Pup is entering the plateau that comes in the downtime between one album cycle to another.

 

Either way, Pup's mix last night was flaming garbage and they went on like 45 minutes late

 

ehhhh i disagree. pup is still skyrocketing but they're at a lower level right now. but they're also working at different aims

 

I just mean the next huge push forward from them won't be until the next album. But I agree, I don't think Citizen is that interested in trying to get on the festival circuit. They seem more content to be doing their own thing.
