Insomniac & HARD End Decade Long Feud!

HARD Presents and Insomniac Events have decided to settle the almost decade-long feud between the two companies and look to the future.

Insomniac Events and HARD Presents came together in a joint press conference today to clear the air, bury the hatchet, and speak about plans for the future. The two companies which have been going at it for the better part of a decade have announced an end to the feud between them.

Insomniac CEO Pasquale Rotella had this to say:

I’m glad we can finally put aside our differences and focus on what matters, you the headliners. We both have the same goal, to provide a place where thousands can rage face and pop mollies to their heart’s content. After long discussions we came to the conclusion that both of us want the same thing, to book the best ghost produced DJs on the planet and give them a place to show case their talents. On a massive mainstage in the desert playing an hour of the greatest hits they paid for.

We’re in agreement with the two powerhouses of dance music. It’s time to get rid of the bad blood and get back to what matters, the music. For too long the scene has been plagued by Facebook posts asking “Why isn’t Dillon Francis playing EDC?” Now they can know for sure that there is no feud between the two companies owned by the same music conglomerate. They can be certain that the only reason Dillon Francis isn’t playing EDC anymore is because Pasquale actually hates him.

But the Insomniac boss wasn’t the only person to take time out of their busy schedule to help ease the tension. HARD CEO Gary ‘Destructo’ Richards was also in attendance at the feud press conference. He also addressed the fans to give his side of the story and help clarify some of the points fans have argued about for years. Here’s what he had to say.

It’s true. The feud is now over. For years I was jealous of the brand that Insomniac had built. I was disappointed that the festivals I put on could only attract dudes in bro-tanks saying “Suns out, guns out.” To compensate I started booking DJs with ridiculous radius clauses in their contract. But it’s time to put that aside. I’m coming out publicly to state that I forgive Pasquale, and want to put the past behind us so we can move on. From here on out, we both have the same goal. To make as much money as fucking possible. Make no mistake, the feud is over, but our two major festivals will still book different DJs. I mean come on, how else are we going to get you to buy two massively overpriced tickets?

What’s your take on the situation? Are you happy that the feud is over? Are you disappointed because now you have one less thing to bitch about on Facebook in the off-season?

Let us know your thoughts on the situation in the comments below, also happy April Fools Day.
