I heard we were trashing Courtney so wanted to share a little story from back in the day 
 
My boyfriend worked for a radio station in Kansas City back in 2012, and there was a festival that summer and Hole was the headliner. Majority of the people that bought tickets were going for Hole. Months and months go by. Everything is good. People are getting so excited to see them. The actual DAY of the festival, Courtney canceled. She just didn’t wanna show up. Not for any particular reason, just cause she didn’t want to. Cause ‘Punk Rock’, I guess? 
 
Since hearing that story I really have no respect for her lol. They ended up bringing in Garbage to headline at least but yeah she’s just infamous for disappointing people and being incredibly unreliable.

The way i was reading it so carefully ijbol

look all i'm gonna say is i know someone who has worked on lana's tours for a long time (at least since la to the moon i'm pretty sure?) and from everything i know she's a pleasure to work with and super kind to her employees... i also know a lot of people in the festival/concert industry are shady, flakey, and can just be an all around pain so it sounds like this guy was probably just an asshole, especially considering her close team (ben, ed, byron, blake, sheridan. etienne, etc.) have been with her FOREVER with no complaints. 

I stalked her insta a bit and it seems like Emily's actually been working with Lana in some capacity since Glastonbury, she has posted quite a few backstage pics from the festival shows of last summer and was also there at Graceland!
 

oh pete, 15 years and quit 37 days before a headlining show at the biggest music festival in america…. wow whoever Emily is, a queen 

just wanna say she’s super sweet and Kind to thank all of them, in such a public way, and in such special Detail… not just a generic thanks, but a intentional thankful and gratefulness. 
 not many artists would, and it is really really sweet 😭❤️ and i’m sure it means a lot to them to get that recognition, she’s shining the light on them and their hard work & i think it’s such a life lesson for us to do too in the small ways we can thank people  idk why it’s making me feel emotional it’s sweet

I love him! Peaches also commented “Got your back always! Emily killed it” Like lol it seems like they all dislike the old manager for that

The cold warehouse causing her to have laryngitis gives me the same vibe as “I fell out of a tree when I was a child and that’s why I whisper” 
 
also I think her hair the color of the desert is a call out of the location of Coachella (a literal desert) as opposed to a lasso tease 

“ Judah + Chelsea 🤮 “
 
I corrected the caption for her 😇

The casual mention of Tessa lifting her laryngitis remotely took me OUT, that was amazing. 
 
I kind of love when she gets real/messy like this and just gives it to us straight. I’m sure there’s a lot that went into his decision, but Pete departing just a month out is wild, and definitely explains some of the stuff we saw on Weekend 1. But damn, am I even more impressed with Lana, her dancers, the team as a whole, and with her ability to adapt. Big shout out to Emily, like I can’t even imagine the stress she was under the past 37+ days, and the final product was incredible. 
 
edit: Byron’s comment on that post is so sweet. I love their working relationship!
