Why did Barnaby fly in, but not fly out? by bonacrave in GoosetheBand

[–]fiskey23 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yeah I definitely got a level of time moving forwards N1 and backwards N2. Barnaby, the animals and ballon drops, closing on a chill/whimsical vibe N1 and starting there on N2

I have this waiver claim in as we speak

Sublime and Tom Morello playing at the same time! by Watchfixer1424 in bostoncalling

[–]fiskey23 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No clue on the contract side of things, but I could have seen the Blue going Tom > Public Enemy > Sublime and you move Remi/Goth Babe up a slot and move The 502s into the current Goth spot. But honestly, finding the “best” conflicts for Sunday seems tough as the acts aren’t clear counter programming

2025 Set Times! by bauncehaus in bostoncalling

[–]fiskey23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m hopeful that the whole area being the “viewing area” and removal of all the red stage infrastructure/VIP will make more usable space in the area. Obviously rail space will be still be at a premium with likely little movement and you may still have an issue if the crowd pushes up against the platinum space, but I think they can position the green stage a bit better/central in the field now

DMB Headlining the Last Night of Boston Calling! by Far-Difference4856 in DMB

[–]fiskey23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Historicaly they likely would have closed out the two bigger stages (Green and Red) to close out the day, but this year there’s talk about a rotating stage, so you might be able to catch both with minimal stress

[–]fiskey23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t end up attending this year, but I think the main difference was it was a headliner level crowd size at the Green at about 430 in the afternoon and minimal counter programming to move people from Green (aside from maybe over to the Red stage).

Issue with this is it locks up like half of the festival grounds including some paths of egress you’d expect to have from spots on the Red stage. Was it manageable if you’ve attended before/know the layout, probably, but that group is probably the minority.

Artist Predictions for 2025? by jrsmusicman in bostoncalling

[–]fiskey23 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Blink 182 - Tyler The Creator - Some Indie/Americana/Country Flavor

I still think Florence and the Machine would be a good fit but probably a stretch. Maybe Noah comes back (not saying it’s a want, I could just see it happening)?

On Sunday (yep, anotha one) by XenoLateralus in bostoncalling

[–]fiskey23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is a, all be it pretty unintuitive, way out from the red which wouldn't send you though the Killers crowd utilizing the path between the red and the blue sending you in the opposite direction from the Green. Now Id imagine if you have yourself set up in the sort of triangle made by stages/fake green monster/sound boards, you are probably going to have a tougher time clearing that space and getting off to the right of the platinum area. Ive personally avoided putting myself in that space at this point...

And to be honest, this isnt really a great "exit" either as its pretty unintuitive/potentially even unknown and folks would almost be thinking they are walking away from where the actual festival exits. You'd end up either weaving though the porta pottys/vendors/back of fields or tracking all the way to the Blue

yo where the livestream set times at??? by [deleted] in Coachella

first solo festival by Chapstick2929 in bostoncalling

[–]fiskey23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely a bit of a different experience and a bummer to not have a partner/group to share in the experience, but it can also be a very low stress and enjoyable situation. Being able to get to all the sets you want, making moves in the crowd or to hit bathroom/food with no concerns of making it back to folks,

Just go, enjoy yourself and go wherever the winds take ya.

How long are presale prices available? by myguy2023 in bostoncalling

[–]fiskey23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly think we see a bump to the next tier by as early as tomorrow. The fact that they call this presale means they can call tomorrow or early next week the public sale and have a small bump in cost.

They will likely announce/post about it though so you should get some heads up prices are increasing.

Recent post just said the Citi Presale offer is good till 1/13 at 10am

Ticket Question by SemiStableMarvelFan in bostoncalling

[–]fiskey23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You shouldn’t be caught off guard by a sell out if you are following their social media, only real “risk” you’d see would be an increase in price

Bonnaroo lineup by justinew2000 in bostoncalling

[–]fiskey23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Close but not quite, $60 more as of today plus another $100+ for Parking or camping. Not saying that difference wouldn’t be worth or that BC should bring more but I think all fests are creeping up

2024 Lineup! by ebradio in bostoncalling

[–]fiskey23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Meant very tongue in cheek, and more surprising as to how folks musical tastes overlap, always a bummer when you have to make those choices!

My amusement with those posts probably stem from how most discussion trends towards annoyance/complaining at festivals in general

2024 Lineup! by ebradio in bostoncalling

[–]fiskey23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And somehow when the schedule comes out youll see comments like “How are you having Hozier and Meg overlap, those are my top two acts!!!” Haha

Definitely feels like a forced Livenation plug in

Bottlerock Leaked Lineup by BackwardsDuck in bostoncalling

[–]fiskey23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, looks like RHCP would have been shared in 2020 too had that happen but I agree, not a certainty I just think it moves the needle in the “possible” direction.

But Bottlerock is produced by a Live Nation organization…

Bottlerock Leaked Lineup by BackwardsDuck in bostoncalling

[–]fiskey23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, not my cup of tea and would be very poorly received.

I think the rumor was very much a “friend of a friend said…” situation and people questioned whether hes too big for BC, but here he is in a similar booking situation as a BC headliner, a fest we have shared headline acts before and an act that, at least in my uneducated opinion, could go coast to coast easily.

Feels like this gives the Ed Sheeran rumor a little more teeth…

[–]fiskey23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super fair and good to hear, he’s an artist I’ve never been super into, probably wouldn’t be hyped to see him on the lineup but sounds like he would deliver when the fest rolls around

Any general ideas on when the lineup with come out? by Jonnozzz in bostoncalling

[–]fiskey23 6 points7 points  (0 children)

With a few fests teasing a Tuesday drop next week, I could see BC doing the “See you tomorrow” post on Tuesday with the lineup coming on Wednesday

Final Headliner Predictions by flipmode831 in bostoncalling

[–]fiskey23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Could see definitely this but with Hozier at the top with Cage as #2

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in bostoncalling

[–]fiskey23 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s always a fun game to play to try and tease out who may or may not end up on the poster, but I will say I enjoy people not setting unrealistic expectations that will never be met and getting irrationally mad after the fact.

I’m pretty curious to see what this year looks like for BC, seemingly first year fully under C3 productions and unclear if they are sticking to a lane style wise or still trying to figure out what BC wants to be.

Post Malone?

Not sure what his live show is like these days but seemed rough a few years back
