jack7jack 0 Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) Hey guys! Now, I will say that I don't agree with this at all. How an up and coming UK festival believes getting unsigned bands to obtain 'likes' on a post is the right way to find them an unsigned band to fill a slot I don't know. Anyone else experienced this? If it's the only way to get my band a big festival slot this summer, I suppose I'll have to give it a try! If you follow this link through to the event page, down in the comments should be a comment from Chris Blake saying 'The Dropper's Neck To Play Takedown', can you just give that post a like? https://facebook.com/events/496163333834966?view=permalink&id=496183993832900&__user=643723433 Thanks to everyone who helps out, if we get the show I'll post how it goes!

SteveO 0 Posted January 19, 2014 It is a strange method. I had thought it was just a way of promoting the festival, but after following the link and "liking" and the coming back, I don't know what festival it is good luck anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigRedX 1,032 Posted January 19, 2014 Crapness on the part of the festival organisers IMO. Either they should have the guts to just book the bands that they like, or they should get up off their arses and the go a see for themselves how popular the bands they are considering actually are when it comes to playing gigs. Facebook "Likes" tell you nothing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amnesia 5 Posted January 20, 2014 Facebook likes = free promotion for the festival in my opinion, and nothing more. Free marketing for the event. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BassTractor 1,172 Posted January 20, 2014 Yup. Sounds like that is the core indeed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
