Oso Oso - Basking in the Glow (August 16, 2019) Album • Page 20

One of the best tour lineups I’ve seen tbh

 

WHERE IS IT

 

fuck i wish i could go to the chciago date

 

Foxing poster but I think it’s the same

 

Wait these are dates manchester already announced and sold out is this not a new tour??

 

Yeah these are the openers for the METN tour

 

Fuck

 

uh...

are they on the LA date or not im confused

 

Doesn’t look like it :(

 

what did we do to deserve another shot of jade so soon

 

wtF

 

Also I’m not seeing the Chicago date people mentioned, is that somewhere else?

 

Unreal tour

 

its 12/4. He confirmed it at riot and i posted a screen shot MO put on their story of the METN tour in the Chicago and Riot fest threads and it had the Chi date. I am assuming it hasnt been announced because they were waiting for riot to end.

 

Ohhh okay dope, thank you!!! Unfortunately there's no way I can swing a weeknight show up there, but oh well. This is why I'm moving up there

 

Imo touring packages should always be 3 bands but bands of this stature should really try and add a local opener to the bill to help cultivate local scenes. bums me out that it isn’t really a common practice.

 

In my experience, whenever local bands are offered opening slots on tours like this, there is usually an insane pre-sale ticket amount required and it usually ends up being a pay to play scenario, so its not always an easy feat for local bands with leas notoriety to accomplish.

 

That’s fair, I suppose, but pay to play also needs to die and I feel like harder stances need to be taken there but that’s another problem for another day. I’m just sensitive bc I’m a struggling musician lol

 

man black friday is gonna be a tough beat for this, doubt i make it out

 

on cue:

 

very relatable for me as a former StL native now living in Chicago for almost 9 years haha

 

Looks like the openers for LA and San Francisco are Citizen and Teenage Wrist

 

Oso is in Chicago tonight so I assume they'll officially announce that they're on the Chicago MO show tomorrow.

 

oh absolutely, it's a shitty practice that I don't unfortunately foresee ever changing where I'm from (Long Island). I was in a band for 6 years and maybe a handful of times got on shows where we didn't have a pre-sale requirement. We probably spent, in that 6 years, thousands of dollars out of our own pockets to cover the money we needed to give promoters in order to take the stage.

The one experience i was specifically referencing, due to mutual friends/promoters, we were offered an opening slot on the hometown show of an (at the time) very popular long island band that was out supporting their new album. We had to sell 100 ticket at $20/piece. 5 college aged guys were responsible for coming up with $2,000. Competing against people who already bought tickets online through the band themselves, even if we hustled our asses off, we likely were going to have to spend over $1,000 of our own money to get that 25min. slot to whoever showed up for doors. Saying no was a bummer but it just wasnt realistic at all for us.
