Rumors are swirling on the internet about Afrojack wanting to stay to play at Coachella, instead of play at the University of Rhode Island Show on Saturday April 14th. In addition, people are saying Benevelery is a scam.
EDMBoston is here to clear the air on unofficial terms.
EDMBoston was brought on by Benevolery to help spread word of the Afrojack URI show at the last minute. They were seeking help to sell a large amount of tickets because sales were extremely weak. EDMBoston decided that because the event was to support charity, and that we didn't want New England to look awful for not being able to fill an Afrojack show, that we'd help provide an extra push.
Despite Benevelry's attempts to sell tickets all week and raise enough charity, it appears they were unable to come through. Like every other business not every music event is a slam dunk, even when you have an artist like Afrojack and Shermanology to open. Snowmont for example had a killer lineup and completely flopped.
We wish the San Diego group would have come to us sooner so we could have helped them plan a more successful event. However, this did not happen. Let it be known that Brian and the Benevelery team are trying to good in the community and really took a risk on the new england EDM community to make an Afrojack event work here. Please stay patient and bare with them. Remember this is a group from california trying to do an event in New England. If we send them packing on bad terms, who is going to want to come back here and bring other big name artists?
Due to this reasoning, we believe Afrojack's URI performance was postphoned. Remember all these events and artists are contractually guaranteed. Afrojack in no way could ever not show up for an event nor would he do that to fans.
EDMBoston wishes Benevelery luck in setting a new date for the event and we encourage everyone to come out for the new date!
