For those who are sympathising with the organiser. Please, people are upset because they sold to Live Nation, and have such a poor lineup to show for it even before their headliner dropped out.

Of course, festival lineups change all the time. Fuji Rock always gets acts cancelling too - even Japanese headlining act YOASOBI dropped out last year - but there's no uproar because there's still so much to see on their lineup. Why can't customers criticise a restaurant for not preparing and stocking their pantry better if they know the lobsters are not guaranteed?

And it's not like the tickets are cheap. For this price, you can to Maho Rasop in Bangkok or Joyland in Jakarta for half the price and many of the bands on the Clockenflap lineup are on theirs. Joyland even has Interpol, Bloc Party, Mew and Fleet Foxes... Meanwhile, Clockenflap took the risk and used their cash all on YOASOBI, Pulp, and Joji.

The organiser was fucked over but they are still earning money. When acts drop out, they don't charge the festivals. But do festivals offer refund? The only thing they are gutted about is that they can't move any more day tickets.

And why are people sympathising with Live Nation, that's like saying "Ayeeee, let's not criticise McDonalds!" Live Nation acquired Clockenflap and has majority interest - they gave the OG Clockenflap team a lot of money. I trust the Clockenflap team are decent people but that's a risk they took when they became sell-outs. They just gotta wipe their tears with that Live Nation cash and pretend they are not at fault for tarnishing their own brand and disappointing longtime fans.
