The Bamboozle

The Bamboozle was an annual three-day music festival held in New Jersey. Every year, new bands compete for spots during the two days. The event evolved out of the Skate and Surf Festival. In 2012, creator John D left Bamboozle due to creative differences with Livenation and he will be reviving Skate and Surf Festival in 2013. He later clarified in an interview that while he was disappointed in LiveNation's support of the festival, "It wasn’t LiveNation that did this – House Of Blues did. House Of Blues is 100% responsible for the damage of Bamboozle." It has also been announced that there will not be a Bamboozle festival in 2013 and the future of the festival is unknown.

The Characters

The Bamboozle has many different characters within the festival planning. Some of these characters are real people with false identities, who work to plan and operate the festival, while others are completely fictional, and serve as a means to give the public clues as to who may be playing at The Bamboozle.
