Deeply disappointed but they don't seem gutted per se

Alright, who had 10 days to the cancellation in the pool?

What's a good estimate for how many actual tickets were sold? 8? Did they reach double digits?

That Bon Iver thing must have sold like literally zero tickets.

More realistic headline would be "Bon Iver realizes fans willing to pay $3000 to see them three times in a row are not the same fans that actually own $3000"

Didn't the exact same thing happen to LCD Soundsystem last year? Who could have possibly thought this was going to sell?

this tweet expresses some concerns that may have played a part in the cancellation

New festival in Denver this weekend was very poorly laid out/planned. They had an ambitious idea of involving all of the local breweries in the area to provide more beer options, but I don't think they had a good way of accounting for sales. Every single purchase had to be logged into a system, no matter if you were paying with cash or card, so lines were typically 45 minutes to an hour. They also didn't account for the fact that everyone at the fest would move towards the main stage when placing bathrooms - only 50 or so near the main stage for a fest that had 10-15k attending on the first two days, so during peak hours the lines were immense. Yeesh.

That is a stacked lineup for a 2-day festival.

apparently that's the hip hop producer steve lacy who is 19 yrs old and not in the trapper keeper, and it's not the deceased saxophone player steve lacy who is in the trapper keeper for a show at cubby bear.

Dear Questers,
We want to sincerely apologize to you for our absence at the Outside Lands Music Festival. Your love, dedication and support of our music is important to us. Our performance at the festival has been months in the making and in those months we have been fraught with an emotional and eager excitement to touch the stage in the place where Phife Dawg made his home.
Upon the eve of playing for you, we performed not to a mixed crowd of festival patrons but to a filled house of solely Questers. It was humbling. The beautiful Red Rock amphitheater was filled with voices helping us get through a difficult performance without our brother Phife. You would think that with every performance we heal a little more and the sadness is easier to handle. Sometimes that is the case and sometimes the grief and loss is compounded. Although the house was filled with love and we felt it all, we also felt the huge void of Phife's absence. We walked off that stage deep in grief.
In show business there is a notion that the "show must go on" no matter what. Sometimes though, when you have lost someone close, you are riddled with the notion that there is no going on. That Friday morning upon traveling to San Francisco, a wave of grief was still on us and in that moment we could not see the “on” to go on to. Eventually though in face of loss you find that glimmer of light to bring you to your center and you find the “on.”
We missed Friday but we found our "on" the following day. We wanted to play for you and we wanted to honor Phife's wife in their hometown. Unfortunately, everything did not come together before the closing curfew. For that, we are deeply sorry. We look to correct this and regain your confidence.
Actually, let us restate that — we will correct this and regain your confidence.
A special shout out goes out to Another Planet Entertainment, the promoter/organizer of Outside Lands.
They put together an incredible event that was enjoyed by many despite the fact that we were unable to add to that joy. We want to express our appreciation for their efforts and encourage our fans to continue to support them. And to those who traveled far and wide, we sincerely apologize and are looking for ways to make this up to you. We are fully aware that without you (the fans), we would not be where we are today. We appreciate you having our back during this challenging period.
We are not making excuses for our absence. We just wanted you to know that we are still grieving and yet we want to honor each and every one of you for 28 years of music love. Thank you for the support.
Sincerely, Tribe

I don't see anything wrong with that. Clearly a different type of crowd at a non-festival show.

Kinda like blaming the victim. The explanation without that is fine/understandable/relatable.

They've primarily played festivals, though? I don't know, seems reasonable.

Pineapples have appeared on a list of items banned from this year's Reading and Leeds Festivals, alongside fireworks and weapons.
Organisers said it was because fans of Oxford band Glass Animals bring hundreds of the fruit to its gigs, in a nod to song Pork Soda which includes the lyrics "pineapples are in my head".
Drummer Joe Seaward said it would be a "challenge" to get in with pineapples.
"Anyone who wasn't bringing a pineapple definitely is now," he said.
"It's fruitist. Watermelons are fine, but not pineapples?"

"Pork Soda?" As in the Primus song?

Not the same song, I guess. I have no urge to urge to listen to Glass Animals anyway.
