Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

It's also probably one of the few ways for artists to have an income that their lable/manager/publisher/whoever the fuck else doesn't take a huge cut of. Add in ticket master and company and they're fucked.

Those contracts they sign can be fucking brutal. I'm not familiar with either of those artists but it's a common enough problem in that industry.
