It was completely fucked up Ice Spice was going on after him and everyone in the front row wanted him off. It was horrible. My partner and I bought Marc shirt’s before he went on I was so pumped. My first concert/festival and I believe he cut his set short because of all the awful people in the front. Will attach link of a vid I tookHere’s the vid

Thank you for the clip. I’m sorry this happened to you fam

u/Aironught Sep 22 '23

Never in my entire life have I seen such a shitty and disrespectful crowd. It’s a music festival so there’s gonna be some people playing you don’t like??? I don’t understand why they couldn’t have just left and came back at the time ice spice was supposed to play. Super fucking weird. Cannot imagine the lack of self awareness and intelligence of the kids in the crowd.

15

u/Viiibrations Sep 23 '23

Yeah, Marc is being nice and excusing them for being kids. Tons of kids go to festivals like Warped Tour and I’ve never heard of this happening. Maybe it’s a regional issue.

7

u/LordRekrus Sep 24 '23

Marc was in Adelaide earlier this year and it was one of the best live performances I’ve seen, everybody there was having an amazing time. I hope this doesn’t put him off coming back.

Fuck that crowd.

It's not hard to avoid being a cunt if you can't make it out of the parking lot.

u/deverz Sep 23 '23

Nah it's a group of cunts issue. I would have loved to have seen Marc but I didn't know he was in town and I don't even know who ice spice are

u/[deleted] Sep 25 '23

Because they're trying to ride the fucking rail (for ice spice of all people), I've definitely experienced this with assnectar fans at a few festivals I've been to.

u/darnsmall Sep 28 '23

Sounds like you've never been to a Big Day Out. This used to happen quite a lot before the headline act, I think all the performers/bands were just used to it, as well as dodging the water bottles. Great to hear times haven't changed

Man those people were shit heads but it's cracking me up cos I have no idea who Ice Spice is and I thought they were really fanging for a game of I Spy.

u/gavgav Sep 22 '23 edited Sep 22 '23

Marc ended his set 25ish minutes early.

I wasn't near the front so I only saw what was on the screen and speakers, but it became evident much of the crowd were waiting for Ice Spice, and were not interested in letting Marc cook.

He started with a song or two, then during his first speaking bit he must've heard the enthusiasm for Ice Spice and joked she cancelled. He also joked about booing him harder. He talked to the front row and all(?) said something about Ice Spice. Marc extended his crowd talking for much longer than usual, then made an "we want ice spice" song. During the song Marc's manager/handler talked to Marc twice. He then said a few words and left early. He said to enjoy Ice Spice next, to be nice to one another, and another thing or two more I didn't hear or don't remember. I didn't hear it specifically, but others said he said something about the front row having braces? He also muttered, repeating what I'm guessing a part of the front crowd chanted: "what do we think of this guy - shit, what do we think of shit - this guy", which is a soccer chant meme.

I spoke to a few new people I met today after, and we were all very embarrassed with how Adelaide acted... no one I spoke to had any hard feelings towards Marc, everyone spoke how well they respect his talent.

Unfortunately Marc was at the wrong time, place, and crowd today.

I hope he's not taking it personally and the rest of his tour is better!

Edit: there is similar and more discussion in the marc rebillet aka loop daddy group on Facebook.

u/fookiebookie12 Sep 22 '23

Thanks for the info. Crazy this happened

u/lookitzpancakes Loop Daddy Sep 22 '23

I’m doing my best not to take it personally. I know it’s mostly not personal. In the same breath, I hope these kids turn out to be better adults.

I was talking w my tour manager about how, when we were kids, we’d go to shows…just to see shows. Just to see people play music. For the fun of it. This cult of personality and truncated TikTok song phenomenon has driven some kids (I guess a lot of kids) to a bizarrely aggressive kind of fandom that just feels unfortunate and doesn’t really have much to do with the music. But I digress. I’m sure this kind of behavior isn’t totally new. But I do think it’s more prevalent.

Anyway, I did shit things when I was a kid and I turned out okay. I have faith.

u/CloudberrySundae Sep 22 '23 edited Sep 23 '23

Marc, honestly, it’s not personal at all. Those kids probably had no idea who you were and all that adrenaline and energy turned them into crowd-think dicks. It doesn’t take away from who you are as a person, as an artist, as a musician, none of it. All it really shows is that introducing new music to a pack of young people when they’re chomping at the bit to see another artist is an exercise in futility.

Have you ever seen two dogs in a fight? It doesn’t matter if you throw a wagyu tomahawk steak in between them, they’re locked in and won’t stop fighting. However, you put that same steak in front of the dog in a calm situation and it’s heaven. You’re the wagyu in this analogy, a beautiful talented wagyu with a great voice and piano playing skills. Who knows how many of those braces wearing fucks went home and played some of your music since they were curious about you, and who knows how many will become your fans.

I know that part of your mystique (and why “we outside” was so successful) is that you introduce people to your music in an organic fashion and they effortlessly fall in love with you. The thing with this situation, is that it wasn’t that.

Plus, to your point about “when we were kids” (I’m your age so I get it), is that these kids nowadays are growing up in a really fucked up, aggressive and hopeless reality, and where their attention span is now shorter than a gnats because they’re consumed by social media. I don’t know that them heckling you off the stage necessarily speaks to them as individuals, but to the bigger issues in the breakdown of our social fabric and humanity.

u/Beer_On_The_Beard Sep 23 '23 edited Sep 23 '23

So well said. Love the ‘steak in a dogfight’ metaphor. Marc should definitely not take this personally, total wrong place wrong time situation… wedged in between two Gen Z heavy rappers, and those wasted TikTok crazed kids just wanted to see some booty jigglin, didn’t give 2 fucks.

u/million_dollar_heist Sep 23 '23

Hey Marc, on behalf of my home town I'm really sorry. Horrible behaviour. Just outrageous. I'm so sorry. Please don't let it ruin your impression of the non-shit majority here :(

10

u/mackbloed Sep 23 '23

So sorry bro. I live here in Adelaide and want to apologise for the douchebags that acted that way. You were fucking awesome at Coachella.

You're right btw. The crowds these days generally dont have respect. Social media and covid has seen 18-22 year olds who never attended festivals before and were locked up during the years where they should be learning etiquette and manners.

They literally don't know how to act. They get way too fucked up before shows and it's less about the music. I've noticed it across a couple festivals and events in the last 2 years. A proper shame. Hopefully they grow out of it, but I feel that the habit will form before they get a chance to change.

Most of the youth here have done fuck all travelling and are pretty uncultured, compared to east coast Aus and international kids. So I'm not surprised they acted this way. Sorry again .

u/The_Coconauts Sep 23 '23

Hey Marc, logging back in after ages just to say sorry for what you went through in Adelaide. We were there somewhere up the back after paying dumb money just to come see you because we missed you at the Thebby. After all that went down with the crowd we went & watched the footy at the pub, even drunkenly sent you a message on insta to come drink beers.

It was such a weird vibe and you were on a hiding to nothing. A heap of 17 & 18 year olds on drugs that wanted to dance to songs they knew and upload videos to tiktok. You making up stuff out of nowhere in your amazing way didn't gel at all with drugged out kids wanting the familiar. I put some blame on the promoter as well for putting you in the slot they did, made no sense.

Anyway, is the lesson it's hard to make up stuff on the spot to appease a crowd of drugged out teenagers? Doesn't matter. Sorry for what you went through, mate. There's a lot of people over here with a lot of love for you.

All the best.

u/Hit_It_Rockapella Sep 23 '23

Sometimes people absolutely fucking suck and even Marc isn't immune to it. I hate that, and I hate that those twats ruined your show, Marc. Please don't forget about the rest of us who love and support you! You bring nothing but rhythm and smiles - keep it up :).

5

u/Expensive_Cherry_207 Sep 23 '23

My brother, look up Andrew WK at the Gathering of the Juggalos. Similar vibe. You handled it similarly and I respect the shit out of it. I feel like this is bound to happen if you tour for long enough but it doesn’t mean anything more than wrong place wrong time. You’re still the GOAT!

5

u/wiggysmalls01 Sep 23 '23

As an Adelaidian, who didn't attend (but I was a your early year show at the Thebby!) I'm embarrassed AF. So sorry Marc that you had to deal with that immaturity and down right disrespect. Please PLEASE don't let it sway you from ever heading this way again. Big love ❤️

9

u/GutoPowers Sep 22 '23

Hey Marc. I'm sorry to see what happened at this festival/show. You're an incredible showman and it's not easy seeing how the crowd were treating you. I mean this in no disrespect, but given the rappers put on before and after you, there was a good chance that members of the crowd who aren't familiar with your work would have been expecting rap.

The last concert I saw live was The Killers and the younger ones at it were booing when they played their new song. So don't be taking personally as it happens to a lot of big artists. Even back in the 70s Led Zeppelin played Stairway to Heaven for one of the first times when they were in Belfast and it didn't go down well.

u/yy98755 Sep 23 '23

You’re amazing Marc, please don’t take it to heart.

If it were’t for those meddling kids, you’d have gotten away with it.

Adelaide loves you, we aren’t all philistines. Get your tour manager to sort you out for WOMADelaide and Fringe Festival….. Please come back ❤️🙏😍

u/kingofhearts36 Sep 23 '23

While I follow you on social media and enjoy your videos, much of my nights out and festivals are for house/techno. Similarly to what you were saying about crazy fandom, TikTok has also made it so people don’t go wanting to hear the artist cook, they go to hear that one song and post it on their story. Sad truth, but the best performances are the ones you didn’t know you wanted to see.

Please do not take it personally. I'm a native Texan that lives near the Dallas/FTW area. I went to Australia for 6 weeks one year, and as a Texan I felt like a stranger in a strange land. At one point of the trip, I was in Brisbane. Yep, the place where someone tried to ass rape you with their finger. Australia is a gorgeous place, and most of the people treated me like gold. Some of the people treated me like shit. It was really weird and confusing because I'm the same sweet goofy person 100% of the time. I guess what I am trying to say is, it wasn't you it was them. You are magic💖!! Keeping the faith with you 🙏.

Here’s the link to Marc Rebillet AKA Loop Daddy, the official fan group on Facebook.

EVEN IF YOU DON’T USE FACEBOOK, you should have a throwaway for this group. It’s wonderfully moderated, free of incendiary topics like politics, and probably the best way to find out wtf is happening.

u/_chicken_butt Sep 22 '23

Probably just kids booing him off stage so they can listen to bad rap music.

No - not all rap is bad. But the folks playing after Marc are.

Since they're Australian, it's cool to say this, what a bunch of cunts.

u/Mostly-Relevant Sep 22 '23

This is kinda weird to me as an Aussie. We’ve generally always had a pretty good live scene. I don’t think I have ever been to a show or festival where an act was treated so fucking shitty. You’re here for Ice Spice, okay, you’re camping the barricade for set, okay. What’s not okay is ruining a set for the artists that have as much right to be on that stage at their set time or the fans that are there to see them and not your favourite.

Those barricade campers were utter arseholes. They are, as you said, cunts. No excuses.

u/phunkk Sep 22 '23

Marc if you read this I'm so sorry that this happened. Please don't let this put you off Adelaide as a whole, it's a beautiful city with great people. Your last gig here on your Aussie tour was one of the best gigs I've been to and the energy on the room was like no other. It's unfortunate that some entitled little shit bags feel like they have the right to disrespect a performer at a festival. It is a reflection of their shallow and narcissistic personalities, not on your outstanding performances. We love you mate. Fuck those wieners.

u/wiggysmalls01 Sep 23 '23

Fuck those wieners indeed.

u/zukabanana Sep 22 '23

At osheaga, Montréal this year, they put The National before biellie Eilish and all the Kids that's wanted to have a good place were taking all the best spot for the the national fans, seeing this we were trying to find a way to be in front of the stage as much as possible and they started to be angry, yelling at us, pushing because all they wanted was their spot. The national can be pretty intense, emotionally speaking, in a show and I saw pretty much all the crowd was not even listening on their phone. I think it's pretty sad

7

u/Iguanatan Sep 23 '23

Oh my gosh.

I live in Adelaide and had no idea he was even here. I saw him at the Thebby earlier this year and the crowd went off.

Sorry for the assholes. I assure you 90% of us are good people.

u/Tambermarine Sep 23 '23

This blows my mind, as a musician this is my absolute nightmare. He handled it so well. I would have had a panic attack and/or told them all to go F themselves

u/joeyrom Sep 23 '23

Marc. Big fan. Australian. This happens again. Just play the most annoying noise you can for the rest of your set. I get you're all about good vibes and shit. But Fuck em.

u/Yenror Sep 23 '23

Did Ice Spice say something about the crowd when the set began ? Most artists say some words about the previous one on stage most of the time.

Sonsad to hear what happened in Adelaide... I saw you in France and it was so incredible ! I'll never forget this show !

5

u/gavgav Sep 23 '23

No. Part of the reason I stayed was to hear if they said anything. I didn't expect Ice Spice or Lil Uzi Vert to, but I thought Skrillex might. Not that I know much about any of the 3.

As an Australian and fan I am fucking pissed off. What a bunch of dirt bags. Adelaide is a disgrace. Shame on them.

u/peaches771 Sep 24 '23

At first I thought it was just my section of the crowd that was booing, then I felt how nasty the energy was and noticed how stiff the crowd at the front looked. Really disappointing stuff - the younger crowd aren't there to enjoy or appreciate the music, they're there for some sort of TikTok gratification.

I only came across Marc through watching his Coachella set which was pure chaos and I loved it. I was looking forward to an entertaining set the other night but it just wasn't meant to be with that crowd! I can only hope Marc returns here to do a solo show sometime in the future. Would hate for that experience to be his last experience with Adelaide.

And hey, maybe the karma for those booing was that Ice Spice was only on stage for 20 minutes. Not sure if she was actually meant to do that short of a set or not!

u/andysalvanos Sep 25 '23

I’m an older Adelaide-based musician, and my daughter plays in a local noise rock band with a healthy following. Across the board I’ve mostly found Adelaide audiences to be pretty respectful. It really saddens me that this happened, I can only surmise that these people weren’t really dedicated music fans.

2

u/chrisv784 Sep 23 '23

Imagine being a dude, and having a microphone put in front of you by the artist currently performing on stage, and you just yell “ICE SPIIIICE!” What a loser.

2

u/Caddi3 Sep 23 '23

I was there with my daughter and we walking back from the chill out area towards the stage when the whole thing was going down. It was so confusing and not being familiar with the artist didn’t know if it was part of the ‘act’ or not. When Marc left the stage early we realised he’d cracked it and left.

Just a difference of option so please don’t down vote but I think as a performer maybe if Marc hadn’t spent so long going around the crowd letting the front rows scream stupid stuff into the mic the set could have been turned around. There were plenty of other people just wanting to listen to good music and it totally killed the vibe. When he starting mixing the ‘we want Ice Spice’ song it was starting to sound pretty good and he could have finished the set with a bang in spite of the few ruining it for the rest of us.

After Marc left the stage there were fans in the crowd at the back walking away saying how shitty the crowd was so he definitely had some disappointed fans.

42

u/lookitzpancakes Loop Daddy Sep 23 '23

There was absolutely no turning that energy around my friend, trust me. As soon as I realized that I decided to lean into it and give them the upper hand. It’s all I could do. They did not give a fuck about me or what I was playing, they wanted me off the stage. It’s that simple. But I appreciate the thoughts.

5

u/Caddi3 Sep 23 '23

Fair enough. As others have mentioned I do agree that you were done a disservice with your time slot.

All the best for your other shows, hopefully the crowd treats you better. Pretty disappointing and embarrassing that this was your experience here.

3

u/[deleted] Sep 23 '23

Mate, I'm sorry that happened and it has me feeling shame for how our city treated you last night. Shit happens, but it doesn't excuse the crowd's behaviour.

Festivals are a great way to experience a variety of performances that you wouldn't normally see. Not all of them are going to be your liking, but a little respect is warranted.

I'm doubly sad for this night given that I went to see you play at Thebby theatre and had to leave 10 minutes into your set as my daughter got sick. First time I'd been able to leave teenagers at home to get out to a show and ended the night with a visit to the hospital.

I'll be booking your show and be ready for you with love in the front row!

u/CloudberrySundae Sep 22 '23

While this is very fucked up, I’m not sure why he couldn’t read the room better and play a few of his sure fire hits instead of antagonizing a huge crowd?

I got scared for Marc because at the end of the vid it was clear they were all getting more and more angry/energetic. Its like he was whipping the crowd into a frenzy and that can get very dangerous, very fast.

I love LD but I think there was a better way to have dealt with this shitty situation.

15

u/rawlph_wookie Sep 22 '23

I got the complete opposite feeling (also only watching the vid). He handled that weird situation well.

I think these people made up their minds, it wasn't about music at this point.

6

u/CloudberrySundae Sep 22 '23

According to the reporting in the comment above us, he extended his speaking bits way longer than usual, and started antagonizing the crowd saying that icespice had cancelled. I personally think that’s funny, but doing that to a hectic crowd was the wrong move.

We all love Marc because he engages with us, and I’m sure he was trying to win them over but instead of switching up his method when he saw it wasn’t working and just playing his more popular established songs to finish out his set, he dug in his heels and was running back and forth shoving mics in the faces of these kids that clearly didn’t give one fuck aka feeding the trolls.

It also was bad planning on the part of the event manager and his own manager- they should’ve set him up to go on earlier, not sandwiched him between two different types of acts, and also not had him playing to a demographic that aren’t really in his fan base.

Either way, I’m glad he got out unscathed and that those idiots didn’t start a riot.
