Re: Bandland Rock Concert in Bangalore | December 16-17, 2023 Bandland was great, was such a relief that the event went on without a hitch. Sound was great, the two stages were far enough and yet close enough. Lot of familiar musicians in the audience enjoying their peers performances. This is going to be on the calendar every year I hope. Food, Drink all available throughout. Logistics were brilliantly handled.
Parking was a mess though, took ages to get out at the end of the event on Day 2.
Book My Show also could have sold Day 1 and Day 2 tickets separately but they sold the festival pass and not individual day passes. The day passes came through only later so folks who wanted to watch bands on Day 2 had to buy festival passes even if they wanted to skip Day 1. Launching the Day passes later in the month seemed like a bad move, could have been launched initially itself. There were students who bought the festival passes and then later in the month BMS launched Student discounted passes. All this seemed like a cash grab and could have been done way better.
But in the end a brilliantly organized musical festival is what stays in our mind and I was so pumped for Bangalore rock scene when I walked out at the end. |
