Oh no…anyways.
maga starting to realize that russian bots in comment sections don’t attend rallies/concerts/festivals.
I doubt it.
Maga voted to be poor.
And fortunately, they got what they voted for.
We all got what they voted for.
And fortunately, they got what they voted for.
Except that we all suffer.
Still owned the libs FML
Crabs gonna crab
When it comes to music, that’s not even just a MAGA problem. There’s a lot of artists lately that have been cancelling tours when they booked stadiums, not realizing that clicks don’t necessarily mean ticket sales.
Personally I’m still doing a livenation/ticketmaster boycott, which pretty much means a concert boycott since I don’t really look around for non-livenation concerts.
Though it would be nice to see the economic squeeze hurt their monopoly, like if they can’t reduce their prices to meet demand because they’ve overextended on credit and end up forced to sell some venues. Would be even better to see those venues then get sold out for non-livenation shows to add insult to injury.
I mean, shitty tickets are like $300 a piece now. I have more disposable income than the average person in my demographic and I’m not paying that much for 2 hours of entertainment.
In 2006 I saw Dropkick Murphy, The Tossers, The Horror Pops, and a couple of other bands for like $35. That was a good deal.
That depends entirely on who you’re seeing and where. I was just at a show where tickets were around $50.
Sure, but the kinds of bands selling tickets for $50 don’t get articles like this written about them. They get a passing mention in some kind of local media.
you would be surprised who sells $50 tickets.
I saw ben folds five for $20. you just have to know where to look.
Meanwhile Ed Sheeran is desperate for an opener and backing band
Doesn’t help when an entire show gets bought by scalpers or just has absurd prices from the start. A couple decades back I would go to big festival style shows for less than $100, now it costs $300 for a balcony seat behind a pole.
Maybe they could get Ed Sheeran to join, in an effort to boost the appeal.
And pink
and the proclaimers
Is shitty politics the last resort of musical artists that have faded into irrelevance?
Their 500 miles was not from a river to a sea it seems.
I’m out of the loop on them so tried to look it up; did they back the genocide of the Palestinians or are you referring to their anti-trans bigotry?
anti-trans bigotry
What did Pink do? Fuck getting old is playing racis bingo with the celebs or fuckken what?
Zionist. Said it gets lonely defending Israel or some shit like that.
Republican candidate who was hosting the event said:
these people that have money that I interact with, who I do favors for all day long. They ask me for something, I never say no. I never said no to these people,”
He is upset other rich people aren’t making him richer in exchange for political favors.
Yeah, all I’m hearing from that statement is, “where are all my gratuities?”
He was used and left out in the rain, and oh no wouldn’t you look at that his face is looking mighty tasty to those leopards
He wasn’t used at all, it’s fake news.
“They ask me for something, I never say no” and he wanted something in return which never happened. He’s some kind of socialist, another proof that socialism doesn’t work! /s
Thats just him advertising that he is still open to more bribery.

Well that’s going to be in my head for fucking ever now.
"Not only will they never get a favor from me again, they do not have Bulldog immunity.”
Is this something I would have to have a bulldogovision to know about?
More seriously, doesn’t this make it obvious that the structure of authoritarianism is really just a small collection of powerful people? They’re not an unstoppable force. They’re weaker than they look.
I looked bulldog immunity up on ddg and urban dictionary and found nothing. Maybe deters’ bulldogs will no longer consider those people unthreatening?
But there’s a huge difference in how intimidating bulldogs are and my default mental “bulldog” is a French bulldog or [inaccurately, but I definitely still picture it] Boston terrier, so I’d be more worried about them if I had a piece of cheese on me.
Who would want to pay $1000 to be close enough to Kid Rock to smell the cigarette smoke and beer sweat?
Is this the same one as last time? I feel like I’ve read this headline like five times. Are they still trying to make this happen?
Mid Rock is still trying.
The last one was the Rock the Country tour that had his major SC event cancelled but continues to go on, though ticket sales are pretty weak apparently with them now offering tickets at half price and here’s the list of bands you can make fun/boycott for continuing being horrible human beings, and yes Nickelback is on there.
Always disappointing to be reminded that the husk of Lynyrd Skynyrd is still out there making a mockery of their legacy. There’s a good chance the original band, releasing their music today, would be labeled as woke. What with the anti-drug, anti-gun, and anti-racism themes.
Aha what is Nelly doing in there
Nelly was a bit MAGA curious during Trump’s first term from what I can remember back in STL and then went full MAGA this term when he played at Trump’s inauguration.
Wait, people went to it in the past? Ha ha ha ha
The Freedom Fest began in 2022 and has drawn large crowds in the past, while featuring speakers like Donald Trump Jr., Candace Owens, and Eric Trump. But this year saw a massive drop in VIP ticket sales and general interest, possibly due to Trump’s horrendous approval rating, rising costs tied to the Iran war, or an oversaturation of MAGA events (like that barely watched Republican midterm convention). Either way, Deters is pissed, lashing out at people whom he apparently expected to attend.
That is encouraging! The tide may be changing.
The tide has been changing for the past two years.
And yet they claim to hate cancel culture, curious!
I hope when the Trump Titanic finally sinks it sucks all these fuckwits to the bottom of the sea.
former Kentucky GOP gubernatorial candidate and event host Eric Deters, who throws the event on his farm, said on Facebook Monday. “When I put together Patriot State Freedom Fest, I put it together with the game plan and the idea that I could pay for it with the VIP sales of $1,000 from these hundred people that I interact with on a regular basis that have money.”
A former governor and massive land holder willing to slum it at a kid rock concert with the thousandaires. A real man of the people.
who wants to see a bipedal weasel sing terrible songs? bad idea for a musical act
hey that’s not a weasel weasel that’s kid robert. i want my $20 back
@inclementimmigrant The self- & situational awareness of a wet bag of donkey manure - imagine how much of an oblivious fucking sadsack you have to be to not only try to run this event & utterly fail, but to then whine about your own failure to the public like someone forced you to do it & then betrayed you…
This is SAD! That the Billionaires he Represents DIDNT show Up to SUPPORT Him!
-Republicans who HATE Corruption!
Jerk is surprised that the jerks he hangs out with won’t go to his jerk festival because, unbelievable as it is, they turn out to be jerks.
Wow.
