Never heard of it, but it sucks for the bands involved.

That's probably why this happened.

Interesting read but I would've liked more details.

Dude seems like he just doesn't have the money to pay, not that he was a scammer. If the show makes no money, it's punk rock. Shut the fuck up and live with it. You weren't scammed.

Wow that's horrendous. Are they going to sue the festival?

He shouldn't have done the festival then?
It's "punk rock" not to feed your families or pay your bills too, then, I guess.

I never thought about it like that. Bands should get cheated out of their money more often- it's totally punk rock bro. Fuck them for expecting to get paid for doing their job, right?

Don't most bands have a guarantee that is agreed upon that the receive before they would even leave the show??

"Hey, ______. I know I guaranteed to pay you $5,000 but I thought you were really here for punk! Isn't that what matters?!"

Typically yeah, but money doesn't grow on trees. If the money doesn't exist, you don't just reach up your ass and pull a hundo out.

So getting ripped off after flying from across the country on your dime to play at a festival that made no money is punk rock? I never knew, you must be the greatest punk ever or something!

So I know a few people have already let you know that you're an idiot.

But yeah you're an idiot.
