Booking Lauryn Hill is always aggressive. She never shows up/or shows up on time. Love her music but she’s nuts.

To me that always reads "asshole who doesn't care about fans".

I mean - who is anyone like her without the fans? Check your diva shit at the proverbial door.

Heh, I was thinking the same thing. I was considering buying tickets to a tour of hers a few years back but when I read about people’s experiences, it just sounded like a headache.

me and a friend had this same convo before she did a show in Nashville a few years ago. We skipped the tickets and she showed up, on time, and brought the house down.

Always regret not going

That’s a bummer you missed it.

I think part of my thinking was that I kind of hate navigating concerts that go as planned so if it was a shit show it would be compounded annoyance.

I immediately thought that! She’s an amazing artist and The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill is one of my favorite albums of all time but it’s risky to book her since it’s never a guarantee she’ll show.

i didn't think she still made music or performed.

to add, Wu-Tang shows up late for all their shows. Ghostace being the worst of them.

I don't think she still makes music, but she has been touring the same album for 25 years now.

Her show in Philly a few years back (PP) was fire. She’s fucking amazing. So glad I got the chance to see her and that she did the whole set.

I worked artist hospitality for the Roots Picnic for a couple years way back in the festival pier days. I look back with regret at the decision to resign that post knowing that I am no longer in a position to fetch Diddy a pint of Cambodian breast milk and hand it to him in front of Dave Chapelle.

This is a really fun lineup. I wish they would go back to the lineup construction from the earlier picnics where they had a few well known indie rock artists.

Here for Black Thought, State Property (Freeway and Friends this Friday night at Fillmore celebrating 20 years since Philadelphia Freeway!), Busta, Ari Lennox and more… but mostly just here for a good fucking time

Skipping Dave Chappelle Friday night since it’s ticketed separately

Wondering about the difference between GA and GA+ tho

Lineup sucks after the major acts, last year's festival was a logistical nightmare with some acts not even performing or being hours late, and having Chappelle perform 10 miles away from the festival is kind of weird

The State Property reunion is probably the only act I’d want to see. Surprised Dave Chapelle is booked, I’d imagine this is going to cause protests.

Looks like his ticket is separate, so at least I don't have to give him money.

Does anyone care about Diddy anymore?

bukkakedebeppo t1_j9bxsm9 wrote

I have nostalgia for the heyday of Bad Boy pumping out the hits, but Diddy was never a very good rapper and a quick scan of a recent performance tells me that he is now even worse.

smbiggy t1_j9c1r0l wrote

lol that is exactly how i feel. i was wondering if he has some new record out or something

No one really ever cared bout Diddy, it was his artist that everyone listened to.

This lineup would of been amazing for 2003, even Chappell is hardly watchable, had to turn off his last two Netflix specials.

Does anyone happen to know if they eventually did 1-day tickets in 2022?

Cool, are they going charge too much and turn Fairmount Park into a Parking lot for two days straight again?

If I can get a single day ticket to see little brother I’m gonna be all over that. Wish they never moved the venue to the Mann tho

Why can’t I find the price of tickets anywhere? For the main event and for Chappelle.
