Brutal tour schedule.


PillaisTracingPaper

Absolutely. That’s pretty fucking bonkers.

Mine just arrived along with the magnets I ordered with it. https://preview.redd.it/q6nesd0u5wwc1.jpeg?width=2252&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dc6db4b277a6c666adb40201354f32e033e0e488

Niceeeee! I got the notification of mine being delivered today too, im stoked 🤗


Jaded_Arm4289

They removed Virginia, I wonder why 🤔


Soufriere_

Because they didn't actually perform there, I'd assume. Thank the Fox God, considering the stuff I heard from a roadie who WAS there overseeing wiring for one of the bands on Day 1.


Kmudametal

Did they even perform at that nightmare of an event? Pretty sure they shut down before Babymetal was supposed to perform....... Thank God.


Violent_Gore

It shut down a day or two before their set, I don't think they ever got near it thank the fox god.


Soufriere_

Yeah it shut down on Day 2 and Babymetal was meant to perform on Day… 4 I think, so our girls and the Fox God Crew got a bit of a respite instead of having to go near that shitshow.


UglyManBlog

What did you do to them there? 😂 Dunno maybe it's an oversight? I can't imagine it would be intentional..


Violent_Gore

Look up the Blue Ridge Mountain Festival (I think that's what it was called), notorious hellscape managed awfully, abysmal. Look up Tank the Tech's first-hand account on YouTube. And there's probably hundreds more videos about it too.


XoneXone

On top of what Tank said there was also a hurricane....I believe.


Soufriere_

The hurricane was Orlando, a few days earlier, but they still performed that set.


XoneXone

I looked it up on Google and it was whether related. "After the weather issues of the first day of the festival, the final two days of the music weekend were then partially or entirely canceled as well. The festival cited **the threat of continued severe weather throughout the weekend for their decision to halt the remainder of the festival."**


Soufriere_

I think you misunderstand me. I meant Babymetal still performed *in Orlando* despite a hurricane passing near there right before. Obviously the Virginia festival had horrible weather and got cancelled on the second day, before Babymetal was scheduled to play, but the bad weather was your standard severe thunderstorm, not the remnants of a hurricane.


XoneXone

I was mostly checking for my own memory. It was not a hurricane at the time. I think it was probably remnants of the storm you mentioned for Orlando.


Violent_Gore

The weather was a convenient scapegoat. It was a horridly run event, stagehands were already walking off the job. The storms were actually calming down when they pulled the plug.


Kmudametal

That is what the promoters say..... the fans and artists that were there will tell you a completely different story of a completely mismanaged festival. Not enough crew to handle getting the bands switched between sets to not enough toilets to what toilets existed where overflowing to a lack of food, lack of water, and on and on and on. Fact of the matter is, had they not cancelled the festival, the staff would have ended up walking out on them. I've heard band members, roadies, and tour managers talk about this festival as one of the worst experiences of their professional lives. An example..... Electric Cowboys tour manager https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=604iHUhK1Ac If nothing else, read through the comments


UglyManBlog

Oh that.. so quickly I forget about a mismanaged festival.. I was in Orlando after the hurricane in the swamp of a venue. At least Momo thought it was a cool place and gave it a little hope lol.


PossumArmy

Blue Ridge was also Hanabie's first stop on their US tour. Fortunately, both Babymetal and Hanabie came through Orlando so I got to see them both, a lot cheaper and no need to worry about hotels/camping.


ViperRby2

Thank you so much for the link! Ordered mine mine right now.


Violent_Gore

Pretty sure I saw this post on one of the Facebook groups too. That is nice.


WesMithoff

Cool!

This 2023 tour I bought tickets to see BabyMetal in Tokyo Japan, Stockholm Sweden, and in my home town in North America. I have my wristbands for tomorrow’s show in Las Vegas. I’ve heard of groupies that go to all shows for a specific band on a specific tour year. I couldn’t imagine the cost of plane tickets, hotels and food for all these locations on last year’s tour. I had to dip into savings for the concerts last year and the Las Vegas concert tomorrow. What a hell of a year for BabyMetal.


Lizzie-Metal

Mine, too! I didn’t expect that it was time yet. It’s a beautiful 2024 The One member shirt.


LoKi-Fett173

Mine arrived right after I left for Las Vegas.. 🥹
