this is how most festivals operate. they don’t usually make money from ticket sales alone, at least in the states.
gay
more like,
$1,000,000 for a senate seat.
I wish i was rich so i could buy my way onto any fest/tour/concert ha
thats how faceless became famous
ya know
any rich faggot can be in a band playing big shows now. if i ever hit the lotto im going to buy on to a bunch of tours and just fart into a microphone and play with my cock
$75,000 used to be the going rate to get on the Side Stage at Ozzfest.
i think this is great that Sumerian is doing this, if your serious enough with your band and the talent and the music is there, the label can hear that, this is great for some band out there that could be the next thing in underground metal
I like how they start with “we want to get the most talented bands…”
how much ya wanna make a bet afterwards you talk to one of the people running this festival about one of the bands who sold their soul to be able to afford to pay and the person says “I’ve never heard of that band…”
pfft
