Basically, they're just better. Why? BECAUSE YOU AREN'T IN THEM!!!
Fair point, but that's mostly because Jesse Sanchez60, aka the promoter, is the one running them.

I have to correct you there. Sorry, but you're missing the point.
We’re essentially people walking into a kitchen filled with yeast, eggs, chocolate, and cones, without any guarantee of what the final product will actually be.
We’re all hoping for a solid scoop of vanilla, but you’ve fixated entirely on the chocolate cone just because you saw the chocolate and decided to ignore everything else.
This is a group discussion; do you honestly think people need constant validation before deciding whether to show up or not?
If you're already certain you're going, feel free to move on from this thread. What's the point of staying here?

Honestly, you guys are a strange bunch. I can't believe it.
It seems like you take offense if someone admits they don't like this band, yet you have no problem praising anyone else.

Do you even understand the point of this thread?
Look, I pretty much dislike almost every band on this list. There are maybe two I wouldn't mind seeing, but that’s not enough to justify buying a ticket.
Go ahead, try to offer something constructive instead of this:

I can already see how this goes. The first three posts will be flame wars, then a few people will start begging, "Oh please, just book Porcupine Tree!" followed by some guy saying, "What a genius lineup," and then someone else says, "Massive Attack is garbage," and everyone jumps on them because, clearly, they're the biggest jerk in the group.
Congrats.

whatever.😍

Unbelievable. You people are never satisfied. 🙄
Be grateful anyone is even showing up at all.

Sure, because they’re coming here out of the goodness of their hearts. Give me a break... if someone isn't feeling the lineup, they can just complain. Buy a ticket and then moan about the artists.
What's the actual problem here? Why should we be "grateful" just because performers are willing to fly in? They aren't doing us a favor; they're coming to make money. Big money. And I'm happy to pay them.
