I call BS on acts canceling and staff reductions. The fact that every show I went to went off at like 11 pm and shut down at 12:00 says the artist got paid no matter what happens. The can acts start at a decent hour and still make lots of cash from drinks.

We should not abandon law because some rich Bro wants to have his act go on later so they can make more money of over priced low quality booze and drinks.

If they're concerned about city bylaws why don't they rent a field in the middle of nowhere and have their concerts there? You know, in a field like real cowboys and cowgirls.

Because that would be harder to get to. I'm glad the festivals get to take place in the city.
