He keeps mentioning Bridgewater and for someone who lived 2 minutes away from there, I don't know where the hell he thinks he's putting a festival of any sort.
I was thinking maybe the industrial park next to BSA that they've been working on for a while? The one off Chimney Rock road? Or at BRHS? Only places I can think with enough open space.
Hmm...it's possible for the industrial park. I haven't driven past there in a few months. I can't see BRHS being OK with having a festival on their grounds though.
Yeah I figure the logistics and politics of getting a board of education to agree to having a festival on the grounds would outweigh the fact that that school is big enough to actually hold it. Would be cool if they went Bled Fest-style and just had stages set up throughout the inside of the school, and then like a mainstage out on their real nice football field.
John D's recent tweets are hinting at Skate & Surf/Bamboozle to be the first/second week of October. Oct 1st and 2nd??
It's so odd to me. John D put so much into bringing back Skate & Surf. And then after 3 years, he just ends it. I thought the lineups got better and better each year. He is always trying different things. I will give him credit for that.
Captain Oats @FrenzyofDeceit 12h12 hours ago @GameChangerboss hey John, I was just wondering if Adventures is replacing Skate & Surf this year & moving forward? john d@GameChangerboss @FrenzyofDeceit no, absolutely not. completely different events. Adventure is going to be Hip Hop / EDM. It replaces Electric Adv. Captain Oats @FrenzyofDeceit 12h12 hours ago @GameChangerboss ok, was kinda wondering since u mentioned S&S was in the fall. Can't wait to see what u have in store, thanks 4 answering
It's weird that they're moving it to the fall. I always thought that mid-late May was perfect for this, right as all the colleges kids are just starting break or getting close to it.
i wonder if he got first energy park as a site for adventure in the park AND S&S. they have had music fests there in the past. i agree the fall is a bit weird. its gonna be chilly
Hmm... I feel like John D has started to lose his mind with all the EDM festivals. Isn't he also responsible for Rock n Derby in NY now too?
What's up Melting Plastic!? It's Cory. I met you at Skate & Surf 2014. As far as I know, he's doing Rock'n Derby, Adventure in the Park, and apparently Skate & Surf is still happening. Is he still doing The Rock Carnival this year? He has been dropping rumors about Bamboozle returning next year too.
Yup I remember you saying you changed your name a few months back. I know he did a food truck thing a few weeks back if I remember correctly, not exactly sure what all he has his hands in anymore. I don't think bamboozle is coming back though, I think hoodwink will become a new festival to replace it. Bamboozle is still owned by Live Nation and I doubt he made enough to buy the rights to the name back unless LN decided it doesn't want it
That would make sense. But wasn't Hoodwinked just a show of bands playing cover sets that occurred before Bamboozle?
Correct that's how it started, then it became a mini tour if I remember correctly along with the bamboozle road tour
I think it's more his relationship with Live Nation/House of Blues. He bashed them pretty bad and not sure if he's fixed that relationship
