The disappointment and anger of the fans of Linkin Park does not decrease. No matter which pictures and videos Mike Shinoda, Emily Armstrong and Band On Instagram Even after the canceled concert in Bern post – a number of followers remind you that you want a detailed explanation for the failure of the show.
Incomprehension among those affected on site
Official reason for the weekend: “Medical emergency within the band”. The appearance was only announced shortly before the gates opened. So when thousands of fans were already on the open-air site and were waiting for the admission. This led to maximum upset with many people who had traveled specially, had booked a hotel and did not see Haste.
Mild words (“Nobody has to justify themselves for a medical emergency”) In the comment columns, especially those fans found who apparently did not want to visit the Bern concert and accordingly did not stay on their expenses.
Advertising clip continues to heat Frust
On Wednesday (June 25), Linkin Park posted a short video that was created in front of her gig in the Berlin Olympic Stadium. The advertising clip shows fans with an extras in the gold bear costume. Linkin Park has received an advertising partnership with Haribo. The software producer is not necessarily known for his humor (you only know one person, young or old who laughs pure with a child’s voice about the advertising of adults). But the played in a good mood in the clip is even more driven by fans.
Irony and frustration in the comments
“‘In the end’ … The Goldbear was there!” Is the Instagram caption of Linkin Park. An allusion to the band’s greatest hit with the then lead singer Chester Bennington, “in the End”. A fan now comments: “‘In the end’ Bern Doesn’t Eveeen Matteererrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Another pun: “In the end it didn’t Even Even Happen #Bern”
Another wants to know: “Something about Bern please? Ticket Master says next year, but it’s not official!”.
So the “Bern trauma” has an effect. Extracts from comments to previous postings from Linkin Park:
“I am not the only one who wants to have an explanation for the cancellation in Bern. It is unacceptable, 30,000 fans without an apology or another explanation than the commercial crap you posted in your story. If you expect more to mitigate the disappointment.
Emotional damage and disappointment on both sides
“I was totally excited because of the concert in Bern. I understand that health problems can occur and that they have to have priority. Nobody blames you for it. However, it is difficult to accept how this has been communicated and, above all, that there has been no real news to the fans since then. Many of us have left and waited for anticipation. Forgot, and that hurts the most. “
“You said that it was sick. That was probably it. You don’t get any explanation. Unfortunately, bands are not really interested in your fans, for you we are just a source of income. You will not publish a 10-minute video by explaining why Emily (I only take her as an example) was too sick and what was going on. That would change. It would be pointless. That will not happen. It is rarely forgotten.
Communication crisis: silence instead of transparency
“What disturbed me and had a dismissive effect was that they continued to post about anything as if the cancellation of a show for 30,000 people hadn’t just happened 🤣 To be honest, I didn’t bother me so much because I don’t live far away, but I can well imagine how others have to feel, and I think their feelings are justified. In addition, I really do not expect a new setting …”
“Your silence and your behavior as if nothing had happened in Bern are simply outrageous. We, your numerous fans in Switzerland and neighboring countries, wish you recovery and good health, but the way this situation was handled and continues to be handled is shameless.”
“I traveled 1,700 km from Sicily to Bern to be there. The canceled concert broke my heart, but what hurts more is how everything was handled afterwards. I was not alone – I hit people from Spain, Portugal, Germany, France … But only one day after the canceled show, a single contribution was shared in which Bern was only a temporary story. Not even an official apology or a message of support.
