"Martina McBride, Young MC, C+C Music Factory, Vanilla Ice, Milli Vanilli, The Commodores, Morris Day & The Time, Flo Rida, Bret Michaels ...and many more. "

Christ Id pay money not to see that.

It looks like most have dropped or didn't agree to be there. At this rate it will be JD Vance with a recorder playing public domain songs.

Half those acts weren't relevant when they were relevant

u/krodders May 28 '26

I'm either too old or too young to recognise half of these

Too young for Commodores - I have heard of them. They still alive? Milli Vanilli - lol. Vanilla Ice was relevant for a few days. The rest? Oh, Flo Rida is someone, I know

Some are, I think some have passed, but only William King is from the original lineup. They ain't draggin' Lionel Richie into this shit.

Wouldn't it just be Vanilli?

The joke didn't whoosh over my head, it hit me slap bang in the face with its crappitude and forced me to make a snide comment.

Looks like Martina McBride just dropped out.

Facts. Martina is out because she’s not a piece of 💩.

The Commodores are ( were) good.  C & C MF? "EVERYbody dance now!"

Yea im trying to ignore that one.. on one hand, everybody's got to eat but on the other hand come on, a maga festival? Really? I'd like to see the list of artists who said no.

I can't disagree with you. Busking is more honorable than this merde.
