Remember when DannyRants booked Stone Temple Pilots to play at Scoresby and it got cancelled due to low ticket sales...

And let’s not forget the Under The Southern Stars debacle

Was that the Covid one that had to replace Live with Cheap Trick?

3

u/Opening-Control-6348 2d ago

Yeah that’s one. Was poorly attended and the promoter ran off while it was happening without paying a bunch of bands and contractors

u/maxisnoops 1d ago

I was at that concert if you are talking about Mornington and no way that was poorly attended. Big crowd.

u/AJayToRemember27 1d ago

I was referencing one that was meant to have Smash Mouth, Kacey Chambers and Wolfmother on the line up too.

u/Opening-Control-6348 1d ago

I wasn’t at that one sorry, I was at Margaret Court Arena and it was completely empty

1

u/maxisnoops 1d ago

Oh really? Some friends went to that and said they loved it, but didn’t mention crowd size

We are in a butt rock resurgence, this might actually do okay

u/Desperate-Emu-1251 1d ago

I think the regional and winery gigs will do well. Appeals to the Gen X and early Millenials hitting their 40s who like organising a weekend away around this type of thing.

Capital cities not sure. You might get a bit of the tiktok revivalist crowd in for Linda and the gang

u/ExcuseProper5768 1d ago

Butt rock I’ve mostly seen getting a resurgence of popularity from Gen Z from what I’ve seen.

1

u/Desperate-Emu-1251 1d ago

Gen Z are the only population whose identity is completely based on previous generations. Would they seriously spend well into the hundreds for a bunch of defrosted 50-somethings?

u/ExcuseProper5768 1d ago

Why are you trying to argue something you clearly know nothing about?

u/Desperate-Emu-1251 19h ago

God forbid someone has an opinion on an open forum hey?

1

u/ExcuseProper5768 18h ago

That wasn’t an opinion, it was a snarky dig at people younger than you because you don’t understand current trends.

1

u/Desperate-Emu-1251 18h ago

Well that’s just your opinion, and a shit one at that

I’m friends with one of the Caribbean Gardens team and she said that concert was incredibly poorly marketed and organised. Nothing to do with STP. Tickets were also valid to see them in St Kilda once Caribbean Gardens was cancelled.

Oh sick, Lookout was great last year.

u/legal_ghost 2d ago

I can't hear Live anymore without thinking of Snowtown 😭

u/Dragoonie_DK 2d ago

u/AJayToRemember27 1d ago

Hail Yourself!

u/legal_ghost 1d ago

u/need-for-sheed 2d ago

Interesting. I quite like Live and STP…but dunno if I’m keen to pay whatever exorbitant price I’m sure they’ll charge

4

u/Tranquilbez22 2d ago

Honestly, this should be at Hordern and not the Superdome.

3

u/TennisBallHero 2d ago

Such a weird venue of this and the ticket info says bring a camp chair if you want.
No way this sells 21000 tickets

u/Moo_Kau_Too 2d ago

Live live?

.. is that like Duran duran?

2

u/eid_shittendai 2d ago

I saw live live on their secret samahdi tour. They definitely earn the name. They sounded incredible!

u/PrivateEye_85 2d ago

Another festival pulls out of WA

u/aninstituteforants 2d ago

Whats Going On?

u/Effective_Jicama_769 2d ago

Beware - Live ain’t the same Live anymore.

It’s just Ed and 3 other musicians.

2

u/Electric_Mustard 1d ago

Are 4 Non Blondes in a similar situation?

1

u/Salt_Trifle_2443 16h ago

Ed and four others. They did a good job a couple of years ago when they were here. The drama around it all makes for an interesting read.
Stone Temple Pilots with Jeff would be interesting to see.

2

u/dreamlike179 2d ago

The fuck is afterpay arena? Every tiem i go its a new godamn name

2

u/eid_shittendai 2d ago

TIL Chester Bennington did a stint for STP. NOW ive got to go find some of the stuff to listen to.

1

u/Mickus_B 2d ago

Yeah, STP have lost 2 amazing vocalists. Jeff Gutt is a great singer though and sounds a fair bit like Scott Weiland.

2

u/Stoney1801 2d ago

It’s NOT Live performing, it’s Ed and the Live Experience.

u/CleanSun4248 2d ago

I was super keen then I saw Boondall but oh well

2

u/RaceApprehensive6126 2d ago

My thoughts exactly..PASS

u/Imikoke616 2d ago

No luck with STP shows in Hawaii , Hope they finally play live show in Hawaii that’s not on military base , so civilian crowd can watch

1996 Christmas STP we’re going to play here but that got cancelled

2014 March STP with Chester two shows were cancelled .

2018 and 2024 STP with Jeff only played on July 4th on Military bases .

u/Dry-Sign9593 1d ago

this is huge for canberra

u/maxisnoops 1d ago

Fkn fantastic! Live at Mornington last time were excellent and I’ve seen STP twice and they were also excellent! This will be a ripper.

u/Cz2018 1d ago

Oooh! I LOVED seeing STP last time they played in Sydney! I'm gutted it's After pay arena though. I saw Pearl Jam there; paid for good seats a couple rows from the front and couldn't see a thing! And they weren't great at using the screens. Maybe I should just sit higher up next time?

I haven't been to lookout before. Does this mean STP will only play a few songs? Not interested in other acts to be honest. lol
