Bamboozle 2023 Tour • Page 62

I just want people to get their money back, it’s so much money. Let this go and die, and let someone who knows what they are doing do a fest of this nature right.

 

Need @Jason Tate to use his publication platform and ask John D point blank "did any artists drop," then when he says no, ask why bands that were announced are no longer playing.

 

i very much doubt jason wants chorus remotely associated with this disaster lol

 

I doubt John D answers the question or accepts a follow up question from anyone. Dude has to know the jig is up.

 

Literally they announced Palisades last show ever and they said “we aren’t playing this”

 

If it does get cancelled, then whatever company behind it will probably declare bankruptcy to try to get around issuing refunds. Best bet even now is doing a charge back with the credit card company

 

For a a major festival with expected attendance to be between 10k-20k to not have their full lineup announced three months in advance is insane in this current climate. Even if they had a decent lineup, it would be a major fail. People only have so much money to spend.

 

They posted a playlist with all the bands playing it has Ice Spice but still missing A Boogie With Da Hoodie and Trippie Redd

 

The playlist also doesn’t have Atilla, Saves the Day or Blackbear

 

I just checked and they added Attila and Saves. Not that the playlist is any better for it...

 

I haven’t checked in on this in a few weeks and it sure looks like this is still a dumpster fire

 

wanna make bets on when this thing get cancelled? I'm gonna say April 1st, one last April Fools for this joke of a festival

 

The market place not being open at this point is pretty damning. He told people to trust them and if they didn’t like it there was gonna be a trusted marketplace to sell the tickets because there would be so many people that wanted to go, and it’s not open yet to sell your tickets that you don’t want. It’s stuff like that that’s gonna damn him.

 

Really think people should just start flooding their socials with all of the posts he made. The number of bands playing. The number of headliners and their genres. The marketplace thing. And so on.

 

I’ve seen a lot of it, the comments are flooded with people demanding refunds etc and they won’t comment on any of it.

 

I think they're gonna try one last hail mary attempt at an artist addition, and then cancel first week of April.

 

They’ve already committed fraud. At this point, John D might as well “announce” Kendrick, Post Malone, Billie Eilish etc. from the runway as he flees the country.

The artists and their teams will dispute it, but he’ll at least get the spotlight he’s always wanted and will sell a few NFT tickets to fund his new life in (redacted)

 

I actually wonder how well it would hold up in court that John D's comments don't reflect what Bamboozle will actually do.

Like, I could see the argument that because it wasn't through an official Bamboozle account it shouldn't be considered "official." (Literally have no idea if it would hold up or not. But you gotta figure they'd go that route.)

 

i mean, there is 1,000% a case to be made for false advertisement, but you'd probably have to wait until the festival happens and you attend for your case to really hold much weight. i am not a lawyer either so i could also be very wrong.

Just stumbled across an ad for this fest on instagram. Small scale version of what we all thought Bamboozle would've (should've) been. And at only $40.
I bet this independent Kansas City 1 day fest has sold more tickets than Johnny D's mess.

 

god that's a sad lineup

 

I mean... Is there, though? With all of the language surrounding "line-up subject to change" and all that somebody posting on their personal FB account versus an official festival account probably leaves just enough plausible deniability. But it probably depends on the language used in the actual posts.

Will be curious to see how this all shakes out.

I am still perpetually confused by the way people "characterize" the bands from this era and just kinda lump them all into the broad category of "Warped Tour emo" or whatever. Marketing truly works wonders if you can convince somebody that Dashboard Confessional, Story of the Year, and the Ataris are all the same "genre" of music and from the "same scene."

EDIT: It's like a more extreme version of "nu-metal" or when people want to lump New Found Glory, Good Charlotte, and Sum-41 together just because they were all on radio/MTV at the same time and had distorted guitars.

 

It's funny, back when I was 14 I just assumed that if you were a fan of say Korn, you automatically had to be a fan of Limp Bizkit and Incubus. Now I realize how insanely different all three of those acts are! But back then they all just got lumped under the same Nu Metal banner.

 

I mean, to be fair, when that stuff was really popping off? If you were into Korn there was a 75% chance you were also into Limp Bizkit. And there was a very decent chance you'd be like "Incubus is okay now, but S.C.I.E.N.C.E. was sick!" LOL

So much of it back then was the media trying to push things together into a convenient package to write/talk about it and try to make it a "movement" a la grunge. You saw it with ska, electronica, swing, etc. And there were some failed attempts too. I remember reading a piece in Spin from like, 1998 about the "geek rock explosion" that was centered on Barenaked Ladies, Harvey Danger, and Fountains of Wayne...

With "emo," I think Warped Tour definitely adds to it all too. So I fully get it. But it's still very strange to me to see like, people lumping Story of the Year into the same bucket as Panic! at the Disco or My Chemical Romance just because they were both on radio/MTV around the same time.

 

Looks like Boogie Wit Da Hoodie is booked for a festival in Florida (SunFest) the same weekend as Bamboozle. LO fucking L.
