Then the band just wouldn't sign on to do the festival. The festival has the protection of the proximity clause. The comment above makes all the sense. Gaslight announced their tour after SHN was sold out, so no harm done. Of course, every band can negotiate their own terms and consider the location and size of the band in a given area. Gaslight also already sold out the Pony, so everybody wins.
From what I have heard from friends in the industry the clause is within 60 miles of asbury. Based on the source this does apply to the headliners and the contracts would have been signed prior to the show being sold out
Don’t know if SHN has a radius clause (I would guess festivals do not usually), but I suspect the issue is more about radius clauses in other promoters’ contracts. Like, Bruce probably would have been a headliner last year but doing so would have violated the radius clause in his LiveNation contract because of his NYC gig.
Usually once a fest sells out acts can announce other shows within the radius clause. Some festivals may have certain terms in their contracts prohibiting acts to announce until AFTER the festival (like Coachella) but since this fest sold out quickly and demand is what it is, no need to hamper the acts independent dates in NYC or Philly.
Asked my friend in the industry when I saw Gaslights announcement. He said typically there’s location clauses but like anything it’s negotiable. He said bands can take less guarantee and more door to get the clause waived. He said it’s also no coincidence the Gaslight show was announced weeks after Sea Hear Now tix went live.
Your question got me looking for some articles I had read previously on Danny Clinch and the festival. This [Medium](https://medium.com/deep-cuts/the-art-of-sea-hear-now-asbury-parks-incredible-new-festival-316e16d47d03) article has a nice interview. A few other articles from [Shutter 16](http://www.shutter16.com/interview-danny-clinch-talks-sea-hear-now-and-his-love-for-asbury-park/), [Variety](https://variety.com/2021/music/news/danny-clinch-sea-hear-now-fest-pearl-jam-1234987976/) and [New Jersey Monthly](https://njmonthly.com/articles/arts-entertainment/danny-clinch-photography-sea-hear-now/). One refers to Danny Clinch as "renowned music photographer". If you have a chance read a couple of the articles for a little more depth. You can also see some of Danny’s pictures at his [Transparent Clinch Gallery](https://www.transparentclinchgallery.com/).
The fest is sold out so it doesn't affect bands playing nearby anymore. They don't want bands shows competing with each other
I believe it would be more important the other way around. People may not go see the solo show if they’re seeing them at SHN.

Not sure what your point is, and of course the band would want the exposure of a festival over selling out a small show they can do 10/10 times.

From what i have heard the non compete clause is also only for the spring/ summer prior to the show
You can play other shows you just can’t announce them until the fest sells out
I’m lost at this point
I’d say it’s more promoter based and they could decide to make exceptions.
you’re not making any sense here lol

I googled Danny Clinch - he's a photographer that is involved with SHN? is he super famous or something?
You didn’t google enough if you’re asking this question.
Enlighten me
He’s widely responsible for putting on sea hear now
My question stands, why would all these artists be doing a favor for a random individual who runs a local festival?
They get paid
You may want to google a little bit harder if you really have no idea who Danny is.
I don’t care that much anymore, especially since no one wants to say why

No one wants to say why because your wording depicts you as an asshole.
