I so need the winner to do this now it would just be too perfect
Seems poetically apt, actually. who knew this timeline had a sense of humor.
Some unknown muso has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever.
Someone should add a sticker "C'mon, we're desperate"
I hope this poster was put up after the dissolution
Or perfectly timed? Didn't he lose every other act on his tour?
I love Guitar Center.
I get to try out many different guitars before purchasing one at a local mom and pop shop.
Ah yes, the best buy of music
This is deliberate of course. Lots of people out there who want to make it big with their music and there will be musicians in there that are actually really good but never really got a chance. Either they're not gonna care about the political statement over this huge chance or they are interested in making a different statement in the first place.
You gotta wonder if those concert halls are going to be full though. And I also wonder what it'll do to the musical quality of the tour.
I mean the right way to play this is blindingly obvious. Go up there, do your set, and then yell Free Palestine afterwards.
Would be a no-brainer but I think you'll have to sign something stating you won't
Yeah but following your contract isn't very rock in roll, now, is it?
Runner up prize is opening for Ed Sheeran twice.
So there wasn't anyone who wanted to play at his show?
Now you have to open for the entire tour.
I still have no clue what kind of music Ed Sheeran makes.
Here’s his best one
I feel like I have caller ID now but with links.
Got me
Yes! It's still a thing after all the years
How dare you equate those two
Boring generic pop
Crappy
Bad timing for you, good timing for Ed.
I'm certain ticket sales have gone through the roof just so that people can pay for the opportunity to boo him live
I heard he found an opening act already Ed Sheeran finds opening act
That website is cancer for mobile.
Wow…
I bet the standards have relaxed now that they have no openers at all.
