    But i just learnt it's not because they think the fest is unethical it's just because they had problem to pass the borders...

    Re: Discharge and Subhumans sold-out ?

    An article was published today in a quebec newspaper. It explains that local bands are NOT getting paid to play at the RockFest. They aren't getting any drink, food or camping spot. Instead, they must sell 50 tickets themselves or else they will be forced to pay 100$ for each of the unsold tickets. If they fail to sell rockfest tickets or pay for them, the organizers will sue them.

    This is the worst festival i ever seen, i can't believe bands like Discharge and Subhumans didn't cancel. This bullshit is extreme capitalism.
    Worst of all, Rockfest started a couple of years ago with local bands only. If it has success today, it is because of the local bands that were involved in the first editions.


    Translation of the article with google translator (sorry about inaccuracy)

    Re: Discharge and Subhumans sold-out ?

    I agree with the only valid reason on playing this would have to be ignorance about the sponsors, otherwise its not right. And if thats the case wouldnt they be expected to not play when they get there and see the posters and adds and bullshit visual pollution? To be honest i just heard about this and until i read into it i was pissed off that i coudnt come close to being able to afford a ticket for me and my gf, +gas+food+drinks+camping+babysitter for the weekend + + + +! So i thought i was the man out on this one, my friends already made there way there and im sure theyll be happy to hear me bashing there good time when they return haha.
    My gf had a good point, maybe itll be there way to push out "anarco" bands now they have helped build this thing from nothing, everyone knows punks will play for beer and a good time, so usuing us to kick this bullshit off untill they could grab some real sponsors and cash, then boot us out on our own moral values.
    No dirty stinkin punks makes more room for your average jo alice cooper fan, and whoever else theyll be adding to the future bills. ozzy 2014? lol hows about some nickel back!! WOOO!!

    They just announced 2014 lineup.

    Jello Biafra and Dead Kennedys will be playing. Also Earth Crisis and a couple of other anarcho bands. I'm very disappointed.
    They will share the stage with shitty bands like Blink 182, Simple Plan and Billy Talent..

    I do not know what to think anymore about these bands...i understand that they need to eat, but you do not need to play every festival/gigs that comes in their way.from now on i will call this "getting older syndrome"

    I don't give a fuck who needs to eat, there are plenty of bands out there playing that eat just fine without playing corporate sponsored events and keeping their integrity, if you want to reward their activities and not feel guilty that is entirely your business, but don't tell me to "cool my ass" about this type of bullshit because that will only happen on the day that I die...abajo los vendidos de mierda. :ecouteurs: and of course Total Chaos is playing this too... :lmao:

    There are 2 bands called Total Chaos that I'm aware of, one from the UK and one from the US. Anyone know which one is playing there?

    Unless you know something I don't, Jello Biafra left the DKs a long time ago.
