And to little to no surprise, KY Irate fest is cancelled!

My knowledge of this drama is,

-The vocalist for some band raped somebody but he invested in this festival so they're trying to get the festival in trouble for that.

Unless they knowingly had prior knowledge, that seems incredibly wrong.

-Also getting shit on for making bands pay to play? Again, that's how most local bands work, you gotta sell tickets to be on the show.

It sounds like the pay to play amount was high but that's no reason to get a festival cancelled.

-The address for the Venue doesnt seem big enough to host a festival. Idk i'm sure they had some sort of plan? Again seems like a weird reason to cancel this.

I'm not trying to defend the promoters or anything but it seems like either missing some crucial info or people are reaching way too far to make this a shit show.
