Bamboozle 2023 Tour • Page 26

I think he probably didn’t anticipate on having to wait until January to announce headliners because of the radius and tour clauses but now has to

either way, he seems to have broken away frkm his “9 headliners” comment so this will be interesting

 

I'm guessing the rock one is fall out boy and maybe was hoping they would announce the album and tour around Christmas

 

I read the statement, but there’s no way they aren’t considering Bizkit etc headliners. You can tell they’ve put those artists at the top of the page for a reason, no way it’s just coincidence the way it’s ordered

 

I'm baffled more and more by this festival every day.

 

Curation is way more important than it was back in the mid-to-late 2000s. If you look at every single festival in existence now? There's a lot more thought that goes into the balance of the artists. Not just from a genre perspective, but in terms of overall representation... And there is none of that here.

In order to make it appealing to folks, and worth the price tag, the "foundation" needs to support the headliners. And vice-versa.

Let's say one of the headliners is Fall Out Boy. Do they have enough similar artists to pair them with to make the price of admission worthwhile? Same for My Chemical Romance if they got them. Or whoever the hip-hop and pop headliners wind up being.

If the puzzle pieces wind up coming together when the bigger artists get announced? I'm more than willing to admit I was wrong. But man, this just is not feeling like it'll come together the way they said it might.

 

Honestly, I think artists like this would pull the "old school" bands or whatever together nicely. Having Yellowcard on the same day as Something Corporate, the Spill Canvas, Valencia, Say Anything, Finch, and whatever else they had on that one day... Would do them really well. And give the whole thing some "cohesion."

Some of it depends on how you define "headliner." From the latest post it seems like they've changed the definition of what "headliner" means from "anybody playing late in the day" to "last of the evening." Hah.

Limp Bizkit and Steve Aoki will probably close whatever stage their on... But won't be last of the day is my guess. Stage headliners but not festival headliners. If that makes sense.

 

The way that John doesn't seem to care if artists are canceled or not I could also see travis scott being the rap headliner. Rolling loud would get to announce him first in January. The rolling loud guys and John follow each other on Instagram and I remember him saying to look to who he was following for the lineup months back. I assume that's how Rick ross got booked. He's on all there lineups but usually like a 5pm slot.

 

No way they can afford Scott, he’s still one of the biggest rappers in the world

 

"we will put up and the doubters will shut up"

godddddddddddddddddi cant stand this guy lol

 

Did this mf really just say “our diversity includes magic”?


Does he think he’s booking a kid’s birthday party?

does he think people don’t want a stacked emo lineup but they might want to see a magician

 

TBH, I think the biggest "miss" of all to me is Saves the Day. On multiple levels.

First: There's the obvious fact that there's a not insignificant number of people who have written that band off due to the abusive behavior. Clearly, there's still demand for the band... But part of me feels like the people who would be into an In Reveire album play are mostly the same people who have written them off.

Like, wouldn't the move to have been booking them to do a SWYA and earlier set? Something for the normies who stopped listening after those albums who are blissfully unaware of where the band is at...

I'm not even saying it should be done. Because that band shouldn't be booked anywhere. But even when they book a band that should be a hit? It still feels like a miss this time around. Everything about this reads like they don't understand what people enjoyed about Bamboozle the first time around.

 

I've been thinking maybe lil uzi vert for a long time. But the support can't be that expensive. So I've been thinking maybe they blew all their money on the headliners lol

 

Not gonna lie, booking a magician would be sick. Imagine a live Criss Angel set lmao

 

You know it's gonna end up being like John's nephew doing tricks lol

 

Criss angel is an impressively bad performer

 

are we completely ruling out the pop, rock, and hip-hop headliner all being MGK

 

It probably will be him. The rap acts they have booked so far work well with him. Rick ross is the only one that doesn't make any sense

 

I think the pop headliner will either be Avril (can pair well with MGK I guess) or Demi Lovato

 

It’s baffling that he saw how much buzz WWWY generated and how many tickets it sold

plus was clearly butthurt about Adjacent moving in on his turf

plus the Bamboozle brand is already recognizably tied to 2000s emo and their first teaser video said “emo’s not dead”

AND they’ve already booked bands like Finch, Say Anything, Boys Like Girls and Mayday Parade



But then he says “if you’re looking for an emo festival it isn’t us”. It feels like if McDonalds said “if you want a hamburger, don’t come here”

 

God, I love watching this fall apart in slow motion.

 

Now to figure out who's doing an arena show in jersey

 

The guy running the festival can't differentiate when to use "your" or "you're"... lol

 

Future has a show in 3 days at Barclays Center with 21 Savage. Rap headliner?

 

Hip hop artists releasing rock albums. MGK is one probably

 

I thought mgk was done rock and going back to hip hop after his last album and that tour finishing up
