Needles & Grooves

Today I learned Merriweather Post Pavilion is a real place, and not just the title of an Animal Collective album.

2 years ago I saw Animal Collective AT Merriweather Post Pavillion

Just kill Woodstock already. Already moved it out of NY. Moving it into a corporate amphitheater. What the hell makes this Woodstock and not your average regular shmegual music festival.

Haha, I read your post as Smashmouth Noel Gallagher and thought, that's an interesting tour...

@LeSamourai It was named after Animal Collective's album. It was previously named after a Maryland native son and called "The Wilkes Booth Art Center". It's tag line for its summer concert series used to be "Come to WBAC and have your mind blown!"

I can't imagine either Billy or Noel being happy about that.

No way! Merriweather deserves better.

Huh? They better not cancel it! I have tickets too!

I'm fucking livid. They better move it, not cancel.

I remember with Woodstock '99 so many people said that it was so far off from what the original Woodstock is. Woodstock 2019 feels like a trillion times further from the original. Cancel Woodstock '19...don't diminish the equity and goodwill you have in that name.

@Sanders you got tix for SP too?

@dbarila Yep. I DMed Billy Corgan last night, asking if he knows what's going on. He read my message, but didn't reply lol

Billy and Noel need to be as difficult about this as we expect they would! The only time I had tickets to see Oasis it got cancelled. I thought this might be a nice consolation.

I blame IMP Productions and that greedy fuck who runs Woodstock for this one. I'm sure Billy and Noel are as confused as we are

Billy just posted on his Instagram story that he spoke to his manager. Show with Noel at Merriweather is expected to continue as planned

Let Woodstock die. It deserves to. Let's not tarnish the original Woodstock with any new bullshit. This is literally embarrassing to watch unfold.

Really confused by the quote from the venue operator about the existing conflict at the bottom here: https://www.billboard.com/articles/...leases-all-artists-lineup-maryland-move-venue
