In a Twitter post made by Manila Concert Scene earlier today, readers were reminded of the magic that occurred during the GoodVybes Fest a year ago. The festival hosted acts such as CHVRCHES, Stars, Oh Wonder and Passion Pit. The latter responded to the recent Twitter post in recollection of the “amazing” crowd and, unfortunately, a claim at still not receiving payment for the gig. Both Twitter posts can be seen below.
According to Bandwagon, The President of Vybe Productions, Nico Bacani, responded to Michael Angelakos’, aka Passion Pit, accusations.
“It’s unfair of Michael to make sweeping statements like that, Bacani said. “Especially because he didn’t make it clear if he was referring to his agency or GoodVybes. We have paid his agency.”
The President then went on to explain that Passion Pit requested some special accommodations for the show that would come out of the band’s gig payment. The request, that Vybe provided, was a rehearsal tent with the same gear specs that the stage set would have available prior to the band’s arrival. Upon arrval, Passion Pit ran into technical difficulties with the equipment due to a software incompatibility. They then retracted their agreement with Vybe Productions after the festival and requested that they do not deduct the costs of the tent from their gig payment. On these grounds, Bacani assured that the agency paid 84% of the fees, as the cost of the tent sums up to 16% of these.
Vybe Production has also taken to Twitter regarding the situation, seen below.
Angelakos has responded to the statement by Vybe Productions in a series of tweets spanning from yesterday to today:
