the smurf thing is the most obviously grotesque thing, but the multiple supposed structures that were to be in place were almost 100% not implemented at all

xpost nowadays it's sufficient to talk about the things you're going to do, but apparently you don't have to actually do them.

Finner discusses comments he made about security guard who might have OD'ed - said he was struck in the head. No one injected drugs in him.— St. John Barned-Smith ⚔️ (@stjbs) November 10, 2021

So if no-one was injecting drugs into strangers, is it still unusual that a lot of the fatalities were apparently due to cardiac arrest?

all nine people at Rockskilde died of cardiac arrest
― Cool Im An Situation (Neanderthal), Wednesday, 10 November 2021 23:03 (two years ago) link
Neadnerthal otm, I keep seeing people conflating cardiac arrest with heart attack, which aren't the same at all. Not saying you Halfway, but esp on Twitter I keep seeing people saying, "don't you think it's suspicious that so many people had heart attacks??? there is more to the story we haven't heard".

i'm just struggling w/ why so many people I know literally don't get the mechanics of a crowd surge. like I get not everybody was the concertgoer I was pre-pandemic but it's like the feeling of standing with your feet not being on ground, lurching in both directions in a sea of people and trying to stay upright, with zero body autonomy.
and nobody's conducting the train, it's like a tug of war and nobody knows who is on either team

Oh yeah the social media discussion around this is absolutely deranged, on the level of middle-school rumors.
― JoeStork, Thursday, 11 November 2021 00:22 (two years ago) link
I mean, the posters and set design and the rest lean unabashedly into occult kitsch, so it’s fair enough that people take that seriously, in the way people would if someone died at an Ozzy concert in his prime.

Rode past the concert site last night on my way to work. Due to the investigation, they haven't yet taken down the stages or a good bit of the tents etc. It's quite eerie, particularly the main stage, which backs right up on the Main St. fence, and easily visible to anyone passing by.

It’s very sad, and I’m surprised children were there. Are festivals typically all-ages?
― heterologous booster (morrisp), Monday, 15 November 2021 03:26 (two years ago) link
Usually. You have to remember that this particular event was presented as being a kinda-sorta family friendly event, with amusement park rides and a carnival midway. I can imagine alot of tickets were gifted as birthday or early Christmas presents.
― Precious, Grace, Hill & Beard LTD. (C. Grisso/McCain), Monday, 15 November 2021 03:41 (two years ago) link
most festivals are all-ages, aren't they? unless we're talking like small-time punk festivals at one bar or something.
i can't think of any big festivals like this that are/would be 21+.
― alpine static, Monday, 15 November 2021 03:53 (two years ago) link
That’s interesting; I don’t remember seeing kids when I attended a fests back in the day, and they wouldn’t have seemed like an environment for children. Lots of drunk adults, rowdiness, etc. Not to put the blame on people who brought kids, I’m just surprised they were there.
― heterologous booster (morrisp), Monday, 15 November 2021 03:56 (two years ago) link
(I’ve seen kids at seated stadium concerts, of course)
― heterologous booster (morrisp), Monday, 15 November 2021 03:58 (two years ago) link
maybe they are different elsewhere in the world, but the big ones i've been to have all been kid-friendly, i think.
9 years old, went to a concert and died. so sad.

They removed Travis Scott as a Coachella headliner, but don't worry, Rage Against the Machine is still there, which means there will be plenty of chill music for the packed crowd to relax to.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – As Helping A Hero has already awarded over 150 homes to veterans across 24 states, Johnny Morris, founder of Bass Pro Shops, issued the 100 Homes Challenge to help fund the next 100 homes. As part of the challenge, Lee Greenwood and Paula Deen will serve as hosts of the Helping A Hero Telethon, which will premiere on Monday, December 27, at 8e/7c PM on RFD-TV, The Cowboy Channel, and One America Network.Music performances by Crystal Gayle, Debby Boone, The Oak Ridge Boys, The Frontmen, John Conlee, The Gatlin Brothers, Home Free, Darryl Worley, and a finale with Sam Moore and T. Graham Brown with special guests Janie Fricke, Lee Brice, Michael Ray, Tim Rushlow, and Darryl Worley will highlight the one hour program.

Yes, it's a telethon, not a festival, but I'd say anything from the founder of Bass Pro Shops, in conjunction with Paula fuckin' Deen and Lee fuckin' Greenwood, raising money for "military personnel severely injured in the war on terror," broadcast on the Cowboy Channel (wtf?) and One America Network, has got to be one of the worst ever *anything.*

If they're truly raising $$ for wounded vets (as opposed to more... sinister things that crowd could be up to), I'd call it a draw.
This is kind of a weird lineup:

it's an 80s and 90s dance party in Las Vegas. what exactly are you looking for here? some sort of stylistic coherence or something? people are not there expecting the bands to "fit" together.
i'd actually say that's a pretty impressive/understandable lineup of live performers for an 80s/90s dance party on NYE in Vegas.
