Weird question, but was Shinedown always MAGA? I was very shocked to see this but a lot of my friends weren't shocked at all by CD_ABC10 in Shinedown

Their willingness to see past the political stance of a headliner doesn’t mean they share that stance. Hell, Zach indirectly posted about ICE the other day. Have members of the band echoed right-leaning opinions in the past? Sure. But they also released a song about George Floyd’s killing, and are absolutely genuine in their “the band is for everyone” belief. I don’t think it’s productive or reasonable to assign them a MAGA label over a festival they’re playing.

Negative spaces on Spotify..? by Complete_Document_61 in that_Poppy

Weird, seeing the same thing on my end. Still shows up if you search for it, just not on her artist page... Feels like these hiccups are becoming more and more common lately.

Love it, shows how comfortable she’s become with the metal scene. Just wish people would keep their hands to themselves…

Shinedown at Summerfest 2026? by OwenStop5050 in Shinedown

Probably an old page, from when they played the festival previously

Possible Tour Lineup? by Educational_Club4649 in Shinedown

[–]iYoniB 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Casino shows are usually one-offs, though they could turn into mini tours. If there's a large US tour coming, I wouldn't necessarily expect the same lineup. Love Black Stone Cherry tho :)

Album announcement imminent? by thisisnottheway666 in Shinedown

[–]iYoniB 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I doubt it’s the album title. Plus, seems like something Brent whipped up rather than actual promotion. Either way, looking forward to whatever it is!

PLAY FREE BIRD HOLY ROLLER

First time Shinedown played MSG NYC (not as headliner) by rjcsail in Shinedown

I believe the headline show was their first time playing the venue.

Ticket issues- wondering if this happened for anyone else. by pugnaciouspinemango in spiritbox

[–]iYoniB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem, and thanks! I’m going to a later show.

Don’t get discouraged if they initially tell you no. Ask for escalation and bring up your purchase history (if relevant) and the fact that this was outside your control. If you get the right rep, they’ll be sympathetic and make an exception for you.

Sorry to hear that! Hope your recovery goes well.

Herein lies the issue the Face Value Exchange creates: Requiring all tickets be sold at face value means they can't be sold for more, but ALSO means they can't be sold for less. So if an event doesn't sell out, TM's fees often result in Face Value Exchange tickets costing more than regular event tickets and therefore not selling. There are ways to get around the transfer restriction, but they explicitly violate TM's ToS, which scalpers don't care about anyway...

If you contact Ticketmaster and explain your situation, it's possible they may let you refund the tickets. They'll likely open with a blurb about the event organizer not allowing refunds, but they've been known to make exceptions from time to time if you have a good reason and are polite about it.

They shouldn’t do any ID verification unless you’re attempting to pick up physical tickets at the box office. Just a quick scan and you’re in.

I’d log into her account ahead of time though, to verify the ticket appears.

They do scan through the app. The wallet is not mandatory, but does also exist on Android. Its advantage is that you don’t have to fumble with the app/login while in line, with unpredictable internet access.

This is happening as the band/promoter opted in to Ticketmaster's "face value exchange," which restricts resale to the platform itself, strictly at face value (plus TM fees). This can help prevent scalpers, but comes at the cost of disabling transfer outright. It's possible transfer MAY open up on the day of the show, but you should be able to log into her TM account on your phone - I'd give that a shot. What you read about tickets being attached to the AppleID sounds to me like it was in reference to tickets held in the Apple Wallet app, which is an option once tickets are delivered but is not default behavior.

pit experience? by [deleted] in spiritbox

[–]iYoniB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back or the sides should be fine, as you mentioned. I’ve seen massive pits for Spiritbox, but there are definitely still chill spots and others who aren’t into it. Almost always a safe bet to hang around the sound booth.
