Is it because the event moved to Maryland? Why does no one want to play in Maryland/Merriweather Post Pavilion?
In: Culture
Speaking as someone who runs events (albeit no where near on this scale) the first rule is book the venue. Until you’ve done that and it’s firm you can’t plan anything else.
The festival apparently doesn’t even have its permits yet, which is appalling in terms of planning.
The last minute move to Maryland is a sign they don’t have their act together, and it’s a significant logistical problem for many artists.
A number of the acts were already booked for pre + post shows in the original area, so there are no hotels booked, trucks and equipment have to be moved around last minute, it’s a giant mess.
One act called the show a Sinking Ship.
