minus-squaredriving_crooner@lemmy.eco.brlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·17 hours agoThat’s a “no show” insurance, maybe they had a clause for canceling everything if Kayne couldn’t act
minus-squareCouldntCareBear@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·17 hours agoIt was billed as a festival but really it was Kanye and a few other acts.

The guy running it was peeved at the government blocking the visa, in the long run this probably saves him money. Personally I’m annoyed the government has politicised something they had no right to go near.
