xxialac Posted April 4, 2022 Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 I've literally just downloaded my ticket from the MadCool Space, having validated it per their instruction today, and nowhere on the ticket does it state the location. To remind, this is an organisation with a 25million euro budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take it that's still being waited on. Although they are still noted as playing Musilac Festival in France if that counts for anything, even if Songkick incorrectly said they're still down for another French festival. No, Musilac announced qotsa cancelled their show a month ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their Facebook page is also still listing the site as the location. Of course they can do more. Just had a look for my curiosity and their last Tweet was in February, promoting a Valentine's ticket offer, and on their Facebook, there's still comments asking why QOTSA are still on the bill. Who even is around to take care of that issue anyway? Yeah a majority of those comments on Facebook are me 😂😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnytee1 Posted April 5, 2022 Report Share Posted April 5, 2022 I’d also add - I wouldn’t be surprised if the venue did change - this is mad cool after all. Didnt it happen with Dr Music festival a few years back - supposed to take place in a beautiful mountain setting and then took place at a race track?

At least it's been confirmed to someone on this thread a few days ago (p37). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember looking at the original venue - pretty sure there was something bizarre about most accommodation being a little away from the festival, but they mentioned the possibility that with heavy snow this might be cut off from the festival site! Berlin festival did it a few years ago too. I went to the festival at Templehof a couple of times - they had lots of issues but it was a fantastic location and great experience - but in their final year, they moved it away from the airport (which was one of the coolest venues you can imagine) at short notice to a warehouse complex, even cutting down the line up. The worst part was they made out this was a great thing as it was more in tune with the ethos of the festival 😕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still plan on sending out wristbands, but it's a reassuring way of checking tickets (e.g. mine were bought in 2019! and some were original FNAC packs).

kingcrawler Posted April 5, 2022 Report Share Posted April 5, 2022 I see there's a few people in their twitter replies who have no idea about QOTSA cancelling. I think it's partially on the band too as they've never said anything but it does show that while we're very keen to keep on top of stuff like this, it's not a great for Mad Cool to promote them on the lineup for months after we've known about them cancelling their tour.

Prophet of Doom Posted April 6, 2022 Report Share Posted April 6, 2022 Strange how anybody can defend them for their lack of info in recent months. The lineup sticky on their Twitter site still has bands on there like FNM that pulled out months ago. That must be skirting close to fraud in my opinion. Absolute cowboys running the show.

I agree it’s not great, still shows FNM on their “line up” section on Instagram as well as other bands who won’t be there. I’d imagine that although updates have not been forthcoming, they have legal teams who know what they can and can’t get away with…… doesn’t make it morally correct though. The only way it will change would be if people didn’t go, but that won’t happen. It just won’t. It’s not really about defending them, their efforts this year are shoddy and have been every year prior to this. Im just being pragmatic in the fact that I’ll still be going and it will still be a sell out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Songkick still listed them as playing there and a few other French events including Festival Les Vielles Charreus, though the latter had listed them as dropping out.
