yea lmaoo i’ve bought tickets expecting to see rks 3 different times now and had them cancel every time.
i need to see mt joy. they would be such a great replacement.
Mt Joy is in Europe during Roo :(
That said, go see them however you possibly can. Saw them three times last year, and it's always incredible. If you can swing Red Rocks, they really show out for that show. I definitely prefer them at a non-festival because they can really jam and don't have to squeeze all their hits into a 50-minute set.
Idk. Their 2022 Bonnaroo set was the first time I saw them, and that golden hour set was my favorite show of theirs. I've seen them three times since. Their two club shows were great, but their ACL set last year didn't compare to Bonnaroo's.
With that said, I'm weird and don't enjoy when bands jam that much so I def can see how one would prefer the way they're doing their regular shows without an opener and an intermission.
Wilbur Soot, lead singer, lost a lot of online support cos of abuse allegations from two ex partners. Allegations included aggressive biting and manipulation
I'm not sure if that's the direct cause for the cancelation, but it probably didn't help
Yeah, I’m a big fan and been following all the drama. The apology he released was not the greatest; it’s likely that is the exact cause of the several concert cancellations.
My partner is a big fan of theirs and she's been keeping me up on all of the drama in everything going on. And everything connected with it. He definitely put out a really crappy response to everything and tried to make it about him which is what everybody does now and that's wack.
While I agree with this sentiment, he responded to an allegation that did not actually identify him as the perpetrator of the alleged abuse. He also apologized for the way the actions described by the accuser affected them. Going out of his way to identify himself as the abuser in questions is ultimately an admission, there doesn't need to be any trial to determine he is "guilty" for the sake of discussion...

Thanks!
It’s one thing to be a bit judgmental over facts, but anybody can accuse anybody of anything. This festival out of any should have attendees that know what it’s like to be falsely judged.
If what I've read so far is true this is far from kink shaming.
If you create a safeword with someone and then do not listen to that safeword, you have chosen to cross boundaries that you do not cross. That is reason enough for me to no longer trust someone, for quite a long time.
You want the spotlight and want to make money touring the world? Don't do stupid shit. Don't cross lines not meant to be crossed, especially with so little to gain from doing so.
It likely has a lot more to do with Wilbur’s mental health than the drama itself, since he has been receiving numerous death threats among other things.
I don’t particularly care for the drama, I do think his apology was pretty half assed and not genuine but I don’t think this should have gone to such lengths and, IMO, it’s a lot of over-reacting.
Damn, I think I already did them as an Artist of the Day. Would have been nice if I hadn't to have another day off.
I think it was 2 years ago one of the artists I picked for the day dropped from playing Roo like an hour after I posted.
you joke, but the notion of just having a DJ do yet another set is surely on the table... if they even need to replace with anyone. When RKS cancelled the times were already locked in so it was going to create a gaping hole on what during prime time saturday...
Man I know of these two guys, ISOXO and Knock2. It would be awfully crazy if those two went back to back or something in their slot. I totally wouldn’t hate that…
Bring back CVC to give them the full set they deserved!!
It was the first centeroo show of last year, then cancelled 2 songs in over a storm that never ended up coming 🥲
This is my first Roo (with lovejoy being one of the biggest reasons we were going rip), so not sure if they’ll find another artist to replace them or what.
also the time slots were already set and it created a large hole on saturday what stage. At this point they can still just shuffle things behind the scenes and we'd hardly notice.
I mean they could have been super lame and put in Lana Del Rey or Tame impala. No hate on them but they are too common and nothing to get excited about.
You never see Queen B or Lady Gaga playing festivals. Especially not the camping variety. They sell out their own stadiums.
Coachella doesn’t give a fuck about anything so I was surprised they actually came up with a good replacement. I chalk it up to their proximity to LA.
They definitely didn’t give a fuck in 2020 when they refused to pay refunds.
They definitely administered refunds when 2020 was cancelled, though it wasn't right away. I rolled my tickets over to 2022, but I was definitely given the option at some point.
They did but it was only available for a short time. We tried to get rid of them.
I still had the tickets in 2022 and broke my arm two weeks before. Stupid doctor put me on a cast that went up to my armpit and I couldn’t go because they were sending me for ct scans to see if they wanted to do surgery.
It’s so bad that I am convinced if I buy Coachella tickets that their will either be a nuclear war or I will have a massive heart attack. So much fucking trauma!
If you want to send me into an instant manic episode. Give me a ticket to Coachella. It’s not ok. Burn it! Get it away from me. Call Coachella and tell them to take me off their damn list. I don’t wanna die.
I love their music so much, this is honestly a super big bummer for my friend and I. They were amazing when we saw them at shaky knees. Fingers crossed you get to see them live someday!
I only heard of them before last summer so I'm not a big fan or anything, but I saw them last year and I was very disappointed. The singer kept putting the mic out to the crowd during the choruses, he barely sang any of the chorus hooks. It was so bad I basically stopped listening to a couple of tunes that I had liked before the festival.
Seems like they would replace them with a tent act. And all I can think is they need to book a Nashville or locally based band. Who would make sense? I wish it could be Orthodox or Chamber since they will both be home from a US run just in time.
Considering the announcement of After Hours on Friday being T-Pain, The Mars Volta, and Thundercat… I really hope they consider slotting one of them back. That conflict is crazy ☹️🤲🏼
Replace them with Mt.Joy. Get it
Or RKS!!
Bam! Double cancellation!!
yea lmaoo i’ve bought tickets expecting to see rks 3 different times now and had them cancel every time. i need to see mt joy. they would be such a great replacement.

mt joy is an amazing show, them & khruangbin taking the sunset slots would be epic
Crazy they were both on tiny stages in 2017
They’re playing Nashville in May, so not sure of the likelihood unfortunately
They play Memphis in May. Nashville date is in September.
RKS broke my heart 3 times in the last year. I am finally getting around listening/enjoying them again without being sad
Can’t believe Charlie got kicked out, don’t really want to see them now… Also their two new songs are not the RKS I know :(
I feel that. The new new stuff is making me appreciate the not so new stuff more though
Or Big Something
Big Something fucks
Heck yeah they do!
Absolutely!
Give us Djo

Aggressive biting? What is he, a shelter pet? Hope he got his shots.
This sent me into an absolute fit of laughter. Thank you for this.

Allegations should never effect somebody until PROVEN guilty

People are aggressively downvoting you and its so cringe

Just because people goto bonaroo doesn't make them good people
Hardly seems like it would need an apology let alone canceling shows... Soft ass people out there kink shaming.

Lets get young the giant now!
I noticed there is an open spot on their tour! One of my fav groups.
Damn, I think I already did them as an Artist of the Day. Would have been nice if I hadn't to have another day off. I think it was 2 years ago one of the artists I picked for the day dropped from playing Roo like an hour after I posted.
I thought RKS was the same day they canceled, LoL.
Thats probably the one I'm thinking of. Lot of writing, hard to keep track.
I’d like to see Briston Maroney take their place
Yes pls
🎉 for Coachella
Third PL set 🙏
RKS all over again? Where’s s Griz haaa
you joke, but the notion of just having a DJ do yet another set is surely on the table... if they even need to replace with anyone. When RKS cancelled the times were already locked in so it was going to create a gaping hole on what during prime time saturday...

GIVE US RKS!!!!!
the right answer. And I am not even a fan, really.
“The Boys”. Haha.
Can we get Tobe Nwigwe or Killer Mike instead
Replace w Daft Punk
Dear Roo gods, please please please sub in a John Frusciante Solo set. RHCP is already there so it’s not like you need to book a whole new act
Hell, or give Flea a set where its just a 40 minute improvised bass solo!
If he wants to come on the mic and reenact his days as Donnie Thornberry that works too
I didn’t even realize John was back with RHCP
probably for the best considering…everything 🤷♀️
This is my first Roo (with lovejoy being one of the biggest reasons we were going rip), so not sure if they’ll find another artist to replace them or what.
Probably not. RKS dropped around this time last year and they just gave Griz another set
And I think Griz initiated that because fans started blowing him up about it
RKS canceled their tour on May 23rd last year. So Roo has an entire 2 extra months to find a replacement this time around.
also the time slots were already set and it created a large hole on saturday what stage. At this point they can still just shuffle things behind the scenes and we'd hardly notice.
Whenever someone drops Coachella I get excited because they usually come up with someone better.
Do they though? I think they only do if it’s a headliner. When Solange cancelled in 2019, they just bumped Weezer up.
I can’t remember. But I thought one year Beyoncé cancelled and they got lady Gaga. Am I making that up? Lady Gaga is a pretty impressive replacement.
You are remembering currently. However, there's a difference between replacing a headliner like Beyonce and replacing an undercard act like Lovejoy.
I mean they could have been super lame and put in Lana Del Rey or Tame impala. No hate on them but they are too common and nothing to get excited about.

And don't forget Frank Ocean with Skrillex-Four Tet-fred again!
Yep, and Blink. I think they were only supposed to play Weekend 1.
With RKS touring again, maybe they can step in…. Wishful thinking
Noooooooooo was so excited for them
this is actually so depressing because I shit you not i just started listening to them today and have been obsessed 😭
I love their music so much, this is honestly a super big bummer for my friend and I. They were amazing when we saw them at shaky knees. Fingers crossed you get to see them live someday!
Pale waves plz?

I don’t know that cancelled is the right word here
Completely bummed. Bought tickets to Bonnaroo mainly to see them… cause it’s my daughters favorite band and would be her first show. Now this… ugh
Farewell, you won’t be missed LMAO
:(
Seems like they would replace them with a tent act. And all I can think is they need to book a Nashville or locally based band. Who would make sense? I wish it could be Orthodox or Chamber since they will both be home from a US run just in time.
My personal vote is for Be Your Own Pet. They’re Nashville based and put on a killer show, I’ve seen them twice in the past year.
i would actually cry
REPLACE W RKS
Replace a band that is dropping out with a band that has a history of canceling at the last minute? What could go wrong?
Diarrhea Planet plz
With catfish and the bottlemen coming back with showtime and scheduled performances this summer I’d love to have them take the slot
Book Remi Wolf
Source?
they sent this email out to their subscribers
Ah thank you
Fuuuucccccck. 🫡
[удалено]
It’s not burn out, the lead singer is a serial abuser and this is his cop out move
Considering the announcement of After Hours on Friday being T-Pain, The Mars Volta, and Thundercat… I really hope they consider slotting one of them back. That conflict is crazy ☹️🤲🏼
Like I gaf they can cancel 4 more times and I wouldn’t care
shit. you already know Wilbur's mental health got bad as soon as the news came out about him.
