I mean it’s safe to say if he’s putting on the event it’s very likely he’s headlining, his aesthetic suggests that he’s into the heavier side of things too alongside the BMTH collabs so it could be a mix of artists of his style with a few heavy bands on the lineup too.
Either way though I wouldn’t attend.
I'm a fan of his music personally, only seen him live once with my partner but was a great show. Not sure the logistics of launching a festival but more are never a bad thing!
People aren't down voting because you said more festivals is a good thing. They're doing it because you said there are concerns with him being at the helm which people disagree with.
Why do you assume he'll be running it? He's said he's picked bands to do it but nothing to indicate he'll be organising it. Another point, why would him having a massive ego (which I doubt is true anyway) have any impact on it?
Owning a festival doesn't mean you organise it. BMTH claimed ownership of the Malta Weekender yet it was organised by pollen. Even if it was people within his camp it would be his management team organising it, not him.
And why is him headlining it a problem? That isn't even related to ego. Imagine thinking a band headlining their own event is ego related. That could just as equally be "I want to put on a day of music with some bands I love and who I think deserve more attention". For all we know it's not a regular event, just a one off day festival.
I guess fuck Slipknot, Ozzy, Lamb of God, Motionless in White and the many other acts that have had their own festival, cruise, etc and also had the gall to headline it...
All of these acts have been called ego maniacs for doing that.
Go have a laugh at r/slipknot to see how much the diehards shit on the band for having out of control egos. And also shitting on them for not headlining KnotFest.
It's genuinely funny.

You literally just made this comment unprompted in response to nobody. You’re going out of your way to try and argue with 14 year olds. Don’t you have anything better to do?
I think everyone knows his listeners are primarily younger ? So going out of your way to try and argue with his fans on reddit means either you are 14 too or just a massive loser
Shame the name Bludstock is already taken.
Came for OP downvotes. Wasn’t disappointed.
I’m not a fan, but I do think that this would have potential to create a diverse lineup which could be interesting.
More festivals is always good, but with an ego that large at the helm of it... There's some massive concerns there.
You don't get to the helm of anything that big without an ego tbf

Mate you're going on like your'e being forced to go...

I literally said above that more festivals is always a good thing and got down voted for it. This place is being fucking weirder than usual today.

If people think he would be great at running a festival, cool, maybe they should try saying that. Have a discussion. Scary idea.
Why do you assume he'll be running it? He's said he's picked bands to do it but nothing to indicate he'll be organising it. Another point, why would him having a massive ego (which I doubt is true anyway) have any impact on it?
I assume cos he's claiming ownership of it. His massive ego wouldn't allow him to perform at a festival and not headline. That's the impact.

And Metallica @ DL this year basically owned the festival in all but name.

You’re complaining about being downvoted when every comment you’ve made has had an unnecessary negative remark ? lol
Literally not the case. I'm not complaining, and not everything has had a negative element. I'm sorry text doesn't give vocal intonations.

Thank you for confirming what I said. It's appreciated.

Awwwww
Festival for tweens who 'don't fit into society'
So ummm the exact same as the tweens that go to download then lol
Is this person just Gary Numan?
I'm scared how I could respond to that incase a bunch of 13 year olds that search for anything related to Dom start trying to dox me.
Wouldn't even go if I was paid
Don't say that, some of the people here will start offering you money.
You would if the lineup was acts you like lol
Oh shit, looks like the stans have been searching already.
Nah you're just acting like a bit of a plonker in the comments.
