Getter and Party Favor played Echostage in Washington D.C. for Halloween. The event which was at max capacity, was in very high demand as it was the best Halloween party the district had to offer. Fans were quick to notice something a little weird though when they were going through security.
As per an apparent request on his rider, which Getter claims were a joke, he had banned any attendees from sporting Bassnectar apparel or Kandi from attending the show. Well, it seems like he was the only one who was in on the ‘joke’, as security guards were announcing the ban at the doors and did not grant any fans with Bassnectar gear entry!
This news obviously hit social media fast and hard. Needless to say, as with most things Bassnectar related, people were either quite pissed or found it hilarious. Many say that Getter does not get along with Bassnectar but if we had to guess this is probably more about Getter trying to step away from an unfortunately toxic side of bass music.
As we expected, Twitter burst out with anger towards Getter for his joke which nobody in the security was aware of:
getter is the fucking lamest motherfucker …. wouldn’t let anyone in with kandi or bassnectar gear on….. like fuck off ????

I think I might get a Bassnectar tattoo just so I don’t accidentally enter a Getter show.

Getter had bassnectar merch banned at one of his shows. Everybody that goes to a getter show from now on should wear nectar clothes. ?

Getter was getting the brunt of it until he came out on Twitter and officially explained the situation. He also apologized saying he would personally refund any of his fans who got turned away from the door for this reason AND buy them some Bassnectar merch!
