If you see Trevor around The Farm, give him a Happy Roo and let him know to call his family. 🖤

Genuinely why don’t people like the NOS? Like logistically it’s cheaper all around. Hotel/lyft/flights are way cheaper than the areas around Sofi stadium and LA. Which means insomniac can put the effort into stage designs, amenities, etc. also staff usually know what they’re doin

I’ve seen this video from Rolling Loud last weekend floating around, and it feels like a good time to share a conversation I had last year. I was talking with a notable festival promoter last fall who directly told me they had largely stopped booking rap and hip-hop acts for one major reason: insurance. According to them, many insurance companies were dramatically increasing premiums whenever those artists were on the lineup because they viewed the associated crowd risk as “significantly higher” than other genres of music. Those aren’t my words…that was directly from someone dealing with (and paying for) the logistics + insurance coverage of events. So if you start seeing certain artists slowly disappear from mixed-genre festivals or specific markets, situations like the above are absolutely part of the equation whether people realize it or not.
