INmusic Festival 2020

[Andrej]

I good friend of mine works for LAA, and they are not interested in festivals if i understood right, they tried it once, didnt work out. They only do solo shows. 

InMusic had some decent editions, saw some good shows there. Unfortunately their image is really bad locally, among sponsors, fans, media, while I lived in Zagreb people really hated it with passion, so I guess it was hard to continue like that. And ticket prices really are a problem, you cant expect to have big names and a major festival with 3 day tickets at 55 euro. Just not possible.

[Andrej]

I wouldn't be surprised if the news is festival postponed to 2021. 

 

 

[activean]

I guess from them.
Check out "R.I.P. Ginger Baker" post, they just replied to someone but nothing really new, "soon more information from our camp :) "

Inmusic itself

This is from Facebook and does look much more positive. Dudes must’ve been feeling sorry for themselves when they replied to the other posts...

Dear INmusic supporters and audience members, 

the anniversary 15th edition of the festival is upon us! In the 14 festival editions to date INmusic has hosted 507 live shows, featured 434 artists from 37 countries, and made some truly unforgettable memories and shared a lifetime worth of positive emotions. Still, there were quite a few troubled times over the past 14 years; problems, disappointments and hurdles we have overcome – only because we firmly believed that you, the audience buying tickets since 2006, were there to assure us to go on because we were doing something good. Your trust and support have been the sole reason of the festival’s existence since the very beginning – to host the best possible music programme in our own backyard – and the reason why we have always insisted on a ticket price that is affordable to the local audience, despite the unrelenting math of this business consisting of extremely high costs and risks, and the absence of the necessary conditions other European festivals have, which sadly just do not exist or function here. 

Each year a small but relentless team, joined by several dozen fantastically wonderful individuals each June, has worked their fingers to the bone to justify your trust. We have built an internationally acknowledged and praised festival platform that welcomes great musicians on tour who would be less than tempted to segue and perform in our country without a festival platform such as INmusic. In a day and age where music tours rely heavily on the festival circuit, a respected festival is a precondition to host these tours in small markets such as ours. 

This is why we invite you to support and acknowledge INmusic festival as a platform, because it’s not just three days of music you may be excited to see on one edition, while someone else might like the next edition more – it’s about the idea of preserving a platform that will allow great and varied music performances at a ticket price fixed in accordance to the local market capacities. We are proud of and thankful for your support over the past 14 years, the understanding you have shown us, all the kind words, and the constructive criticism – alongside you and because of you we have fallen and gotten back up, made mistakes and learned valuable lessons, laughed and cried, and although a lot has changed over these 14 years one thing has remained unaltered – we still choose to fight for each edition because you believe in us and by buying tickets you facilitate our efforts. We’ve known this from day one, now it is time to remind you too – you are the ones who decide the future of INmusic festival! And make no mistake; INmusic #15 will take place from June 22nd to June 24th 2020, with more exciting news coming very soon ?

Your ticket purchase for INmusic #15 (bit.ly/2ULlYLL) is your yearly contribution to the future of INmusic festival and the sole prerequisite to continue planning and working on INmusic #16, and every other edition after that. We will welcome the new year in hopes you see INmusic the same way we do – as a platform for good music and ideas, where money is just a necessary tool to reach the final goal of being part of a bigger global music community. You will make your choice, hopefully a bit easier with a Talking Head lyrical jewel very fond to our hearts in your mind as you do:

In short:

BUY THE F***ING TICKETS FFS

 

 

Edit: more news tomorrow 

[Andrej]

I mean, its cool that it happening, but my God, this is so lame. Just pure inMusic press release. We are so great, its so hard, please buy tickets.

Image any other festival in the world publicly begging fans to buy tickets, 2 times, in bold. Please please.

Oh well. Hope for some good names.

 

 

 

 

[neacaisa]

i hate this kind of begging from a promoter. after all, it's a business and if they can't support the festival/concert anymore, that's life. 

having said that, i've seen even lamer press releases or even excuses for cancelling concerts in Romania, so it's not really THAT bad.

If they're trying to sell it as 'a beautiful coming together of music so please ignore the lineup and just come anyway' they should create something less gig-in-a-field-y and something celebrating the arts and music imo

[Andrej]

Oh boy, legendary bad FB communication already started. A guy asked for Liam Gallagher, they said he should buy a ticket no matter the line up, just support the festival, cause surely he must have loved some of the acts in the past, and surely in the future there will be some acts he likes.

So pretty much - no matter if you like ZERO acts on the line up, you should buy a ticket and support this festival.

Pretty pathetic but oh well.

Anyways, my wild guess at the moment - The Killers, Iggy Pop, Pixies.

 

[activean]

I rather have bad communication than no communication after months of waiting

Just for fun:

Faith No More /Supergrass/Pixies

The Cardigans/OMAM/White lies +Nothing But Thieves, Tones and i
