obh3 venue/country change rumours

[millerjustin]

some unnamed folks spoke with other unnamed folks associated with C9 and management

This makes sense. Big tour this year and a new album dropping sometime in the next 12 months, probably more touring on that album as well... that will give me time to save up for 2017. No complaints here.

There are currently no rooms blocked in January or February at either likely location. This probably means no Winter OBH3 in 2016

How good of an indicator is this, does anyone remember what the room blocks looked like last year around this time?

I also was told no OBH this year, by someone as in the know as it gets.   Not trying to be a downer, just trying to let reality set in and avoid continued disappointment through wishful thinking.

[rumdiesel]

If the rumors are true, this just sounds like a bad move.  After only two years, they are just starting to build momentum with it.  By taking a year off, they're going to essentially be starting over.

I'll be really bummed.  Like many people, we started planning our trip the second we left this year.

So The MMJ One Big Holiday facebook page posted a picture today of last year's Superbowl party.  I'd think if OBH3 plans were on hold, the facebook page would be relatively quiet. 

Advertising the upcoming (15 weeks away) NFL season seems a strange to post either way.

I think you're reading too much into it. They're just keeping their page fresh. From what I've been told from within C9 I'm going to be saving travel money next year.

I dig what you're hearing GLUV - just trying to see a silver lining in these clouds.  Either way we'll know in a couple of weeks. 

It was just such a cool experience that I'm holding out hope that OBH3 is revealed very soon.  I know the tea leaves are reading differently though.

[gluvmiller]

I'm hoping there is an announcement either way. Would be psyched to channel my money towards some west coast dates.

[redpatoka]

I looked at the Hard Rock site for Riviera Maya, Cancun and Punta Cana and none had dates blocked in January or February. What does everyone think of that? Makes me think it's either not happening or they have picked an entirely different location or month.

..i checked the block booked dates for RM/DR and other hard rock resorts in carib and all dates are ok to book unlike for obh1/2 when dates where blocked early in the year,think that 2016 not happening

[SPRINGS]

Went to Gov Ball last night solid set. The boys were giving autographs before the show and I spoke to Jim and he confirmed no OBH3 next year.

[sillyboob]

That is really a bummer. It was such a cool experience. I wonder if this was health related or if it didn't make sense financially somehow.

[Woldie]

Imagine what OBH will be with TWO new albums of material from which they can create sets!  Sign me up for OBH 2017!

[DayDrinkin]

So it's officially official.  The emails just went out from Cloud 9.  No 2016 OBH. 

[jimmyE]

It's official: no OBH3 in 2016. Bummer, but at least it's official and we can end the speculation (and maybe go see more shows on this tour!). Most of you probably got this from Cloud 9, but for the rest, here it is:

"In support of the band, the recent release of The Waterfall, and the world tour that is happening now, there isn't a One Big Holiday event planned for 2016."

"Hello Friends! We are very grateful to have had such epic times together with so many of you at One Big Holiday and we are looking forward to hopefully doing it again in 2017. Until then, we hope to see you out on the road this year! Stay tuned for upcoming announcements and see ya out on the open road!" - My Morning Jacket
