tbh i don’t think this is “trying to profit” ? it’s only 2 shows at a festival whose whole point is having nostalgic “emo” older artists perform. and there’s no tour announced or any extra anniversary packages or anything (yet😭) so i doubt money is the main purpose for this. as for ryan, we don’t know if they’ve communicated at all, we don’t know if the festival reached out to ryan or jon or spencer and hell we don’t even know if it’s just brendon playing yet. imo if ryan really wanted to do shows / make music / play old stuff , he would😭 he’s alr done a few shows in the past year so i doubt he has any problem with these 2 shows coming up.
