EDM Fans Are Pissed Okeechobee Booked Hippie Sabotage & They’re Blocking Everyone On Twitter

Over three years ago, Hippie Sabotage created chaos on stage at What The Festival when their actions forced security to come on stage and shut them down. Instead of complying, they retaliated against security and created a huge fight on stage which then rippled throughout the EDM community and garnered them a lot of hate. They also got into it personally with Ekali, back when Periscope was still a thing.

It seems that, even after three years, the EDM community has still not forgiven Hippie Sabotage for their actions. The lineup for Okeechobee 2020 was announced today, with HS taking a prominent spot on Sunday’s lineup, and that has driven a group of Twitter users angry over the booking.

Additionally, HS have taken to blocking over two dozen people who are complaining about their spot on the lineup, and more are simply egging them on, asking to be blocked.

Okeechobee returns next year after taking 2019 off with Insomniac as a new owner of the festival. Rufus Du Sol, Bassnectar, Vampire Weekend, and Mumford & Sons are headlining.

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
