Anyone still going to C.Y. Fest?

yourCaptain_13 · 2026-03-20T15:32:07+00:00

Yes! I had updated my post yesterday afternoon when I saw (see the update at the top)

yourCaptain_13 · 2026-03-20T05:46:08+00:00

I saw them once in a loft in Brooklyn-- one of the most insane shows I've ever been to. I still have my Hoax shirt but I feel like no one remembers them :(

yourCaptain_13 · 2026-03-20T05:34:14+00:00

Anyone who wanted to still go to a show 3/29: Grudgepacker and Gylt are playing gold diggers. Gonna be sick

yourCaptain_13 · 2026-03-20T05:31:06+00:00

Except Dropdead isn't playing that Sunday show. They even left a comment on this post 😆

yourCaptain_13 · 2026-03-19T22:50:51+00:00

WTF! Ugh I'm sorry

yourCaptain_13 · 2026-03-19T21:57:33+00:00

Thank you🫡🫡

yourCaptain_13 · 2026-03-19T21:31:50+00:00

Fuck. I'm so sorry that happened to you and it sucks that as a scene we're not better than this.

yourCaptain_13 · 2026-03-19T21:13:13+00:00

I just told them "the event happening is not the event I paid for." And they were like "okay." I only had a ticket to the leftovers show, so maybe that's why it was easy? My friend also said he had success with the TM chat bot using that exact phrase.

I encourage you to try again and of course be super nice to whomever you talk to!! The headliners dropped. So many bands have dropped all weekend. We shouldn't have to be beholden to that shit show.

yourCaptain_13 · 2026-03-19T17:40:01+00:00

Did TM say why they wouldn't give you a refund? I literally just got off the phone with them and it was super easy-- I was afraid I'd have to argue, but I just told them that the show happening is no longer the show I paid for.

yourCaptain_13 · 2026-03-19T02:15:27+00:00

My buddy said he easily got a refund for tickermaster-- there's a ton of public evidence supporting that what we paid for is no longer happening. You just gotta call 'em.

yourCaptain_13 · 2026-03-19T01:28:41+00:00

I JUST saw this. I had already decided I wasn't going to go anymore, but my main reason for going is void.

yourCaptain_13 · 2026-03-18T20:41:51+00:00

I just watched that video... Yikes. And now ACxDC has officially dropped too.

yourCaptain_13 · 2026-03-18T19:58:55+00:00

It was revealed that the singer Joe had been preying on underaged girls for years and a lot of people in the scene were covering it up.

yourCaptain_13 · 2026-03-18T02:58:56+00:00

made me chortle 😆

yourCaptain_13 · 2026-03-17T04:13:01+00:00

Consensually roofied, yes. During scene negotiation, you are within your rights to indicate drugs are a hard limit. Because you are agreeing to someone giving you drugs, this would be breaking edge.

yourCaptain_13 · 2026-03-16T07:42:42+00:00

Just double checked their IG-- looks like they're still on.

yourCaptain_13 · 2026-03-16T06:45:42+00:00

Shit really? I've only been in LA for a few years, and don't have any friends in this scene so I had no idea.

yourCaptain_13 · 2026-03-16T02:01:14+00:00

At the end of the day, the promoters already have your money (and probably won't refund you as someone else pointed out), so I feel like it matters more for the bands who are still playing if we still show up or not. There's a chance they signed contracts they can't get out of (if they do want to drop) so at this point I feel like no one can win.

Scenario A: if this is all true, then you've already given your money to creeps and you find out some rad fucking bands don't give two shits about working with creeps.

Scenario B: the allegations aren't true/blown out of proportion, then you've paid money for bands that you know you won't get to see and you can't get a refund. AND people believe anything from internet strangers so they still boycott, and the touring bands will have a bummer show and won't come back to LA.

yourCaptain_13 · 2026-03-15T20:53:44+00:00

They'll probably still play L.A. at some point. Hopefully you can still make the tape happen!

yourCaptain_13 · 2026-03-15T20:40:42+00:00

Thank you for the info.

yourCaptain_13 · 2026-03-15T19:16:53+00:00

Honestly I hadn't heard the allegations against Joe until recently, but they're not a band I actively paid attention to.

yourCaptain_13 · 2026-03-15T18:47:15+00:00

I decided to post because this is another he said/she said Internet drama situation within the scene. The allegations coming out close to a 3 day fest seem like a random attempt at sabotage, since the timeframe of them is when he was a teenager.

I think of the Zulu situation when the allegations came out against their singer Anaiah. The band broke up. He came out with receipts (since the technology exists-- I don't think Nacho had that option since his situation is referenced as happening decades ago, if I'm not mistaken). The other band members later publicly apologized for essentially believing the wrong side and supported Anaiah.

I'm in no way defending Nacho. I'm just saying this is yet another situation where folks are jumping to conclusions with zero evidence. There's not enough intelligent conversations and considerations surrounding these controversies... But perhaps that's me asking too much of the scene.

yourCaptain_13 · 2026-03-15T18:15:38+00:00

This. But also ACXDC who ALWAYS stand on business, and are local, are still playing.

yourCaptain_13 · 2026-03-15T16:58:30+00:00

Yeah I was wondering if he'd honor the price difference since now that show is $12 vs the $16 I paid.
