The Soundwave Music Festival, which was promoted as “three full days of excitement, great entertainment and live music” hit a sour note with some musicians and attendees who said it fell far short of the “not to miss opportunity” they had been led to believe it would be.
“I would have been mad as hell to attend if I had actually paid to attend,” said Jill Crosby of Baltimore, who went with a friend who had won VIP tickets to the festival held Sept. 11-13 at Airlift Acres, a 50-acre site on Worcester Highway near Route 90 and Trinity Cathedral outside Berlin.
The VIP tickets were supposed to include free food and drink, a T-shirt, front stage admission and mingling and partying with the rock musicians. The free food was a cheeseburger and salad in a bag, the T-shirt was from the poorly attended 2013 Labor Day Music Festival held there and there was no party with the rockers although almost anyone attending could have gotten close to them since crowds were non-existent. The rockers included members of Slaughter, Trixter, L.A. Guns, Kix, Kickin Valentina, Seven Ten Oil, Wayland, Blameshift and several other bands.

Well we got a few problems here:
ReplyDeleteduring bike week, really?
$45 a day? not in my budget and not paying that amount of money to see bands I have never heard of.
Bikers also do not want to be pinned down to an all day event, there are other places to go and things to do and see.
was this event even advertised, this is the first I have heard of it?
LE get in for free? Yea just what I want to do is pay money to party in an exclusive crowd of psycho cops.
all those bands sucked 30 years ago, when they had moderate success in the pathetic hair metal genre
