Damages to a "festival's reputation" are too speculative to be allowed for in a liquidated damages clause. If the remedies that are contracted for are deemed to be too steep by a court, and the court therefore views the contracted remedies to be a "penalty," the court will throw out the clause.


See Dempsey

Hard to determine damages (i.e., speculative) are precisely the damages for which a liquidated damages provision is most appropriate. So long as they're reasonable (at the time the contract was entered), they won't be found to be a penalty. So, in other words, hit the books.

[Ray del Mundo]

warning: boring legal discussion

Liquidated damages clauses are permitted for damages that are hard to forecast at time of contract AND if it is a reasonable forecast. In California, liquidated damages are presumed valid unless found unreasonable or a punishment. You are correct that damages to festival's reputation may be speculative but that does not necessarily make it unreasonable or a penalty. Damages to goodwill has been upheld as reasonable in leasing context and likewise would be used to rebut any argument against such provision.

Edit: Hypothetically, if such provision was agreed upon and was litigated, GV would have more resources to get a more"favorable settlement" which likely would be a loss to both parties and a win for the attorneys.

Oh, I see you all ready addressed this . . . and better than I did. Move along, nothing to see here.

I was one of those that was adamant that Eminem would be a long shot to guest but after learning he showed up at SXSW as a guest for 50 Cent, I believe this is a much stronger possibility now whether that info is from a blog site or not.

I didn't know that. If he showed up for 50 then I think he'll FOR SURE show up for Dre. At least one would think.

[garyroyale]

ooh yea bringing back memories of the high school days

[icedKeg]

not talking about the death of Dre's son in this thread?

Dre's son as a hologram?

[windjackass]

Am I the only one who would rather hear him coming out during What's the Difference?

ARRIITEE HOLD UP HOLD UP STOP THE BEAT A MINUTE I GOT SOMETHING TO SAY, DRE, I WANNA TELL YOU THIS SHIT RIGHT NOW WHILE THIS FUCKIN WEED IS IN ME...

mind=blown

Also, that solves the problem of when to introduce Xzibit.

Yeah, that'd be pretty fantastic too, if only to hear Em profess his love to Dre in front of like 50,000 people. Tho, that track is pretty great. Actually, they're all great (the tracks with Dre and Eminem).

[Alchemy]

And then after Eminem professes his love, he and Dre kiss (no homo). Maybe that is what the $250,000 is going toward?

[heart cooks brain]

his verson on patiently waiting was fucking fire

[Neighborhood Creep]

How many Coachella headliners have driven a lowrider on stage? 0, if my math is correct.

I hope Radiohead beats them to it

[clleadz]

I hope Radiohead beats them to it

The only fitting way to introduce their second drummer

[acorinne8]

Up in Smoke all over again!!

[Miroir Noir]

Ben Folds guest appearance for "Bitches Ain't Shit." Anything's possible.

[Monko762]

TY Juloxx for making my morning, ONWARDS TO THE AFTERNOON!

[gam3g3ni3]

You are absolutely crazy if you don't think Dre is gonna come out and put on one of the best shows you have ever seen.

Dr. Dre is a creative genius. This is his debut after being behind the music for over a decade, he won't disappoint.

I went to the Up in Smoke Tour (his last concert) and while that can't/won't be topped (Eminem in his prime after 2nd album, Nate Dogg, Ice Cube, Snoop, Westside Connection, Xzibit when he was rapping), best believe he has something planned that is going to do himself/the festival and everyones expectations justice after being gone for so long

[Alchemy]

But this one is gonna have Ghost Tupac!

[ods..]

Ectoplasmic Hologram Tupac!**

[Mr. Dylanja]

He has to play, "Keep Their Heads Ringin'" right? I think I want to hear that the most.

How do you think they're going to open the set? Snoop first then Dre, right? Which song?

Both, in a lowrider, to "Still D.R.E."

[Mr. Dylanja]

Envisioning that gave me goosebumps. There's going to be so.much.smoke! lol

[xanman86]

Awesome lol

[xuclarockerx]

Should we expect no live band?

[Alchemy]

Should we expect no live band?

I don't expect one, but I wish there was. I've mostly disliked the hip hop sets I've seen that didn't have a band.

[Ray del Mundo]

Wow, that would be so fucking awesome. Almost has to open with Still D.R.E., right? Oh, fo sho.

[rage patton]

I can't decide which moment is going to be better.... the moment Still Dre starts, or when Eminem comes out during Forgot About Dre. Either way. Its gonna be fucking G.

[concertgoer]

So excited!!
