Hopefully, the hotel will sort out its event planning moving forward. For now, it’s offering refunds to Bronson ticket holders and scrambling to assure would-be guests that the event isn’t indicative of its regular programming.
“Bronson’s actions do not reflect the hotel’s commitment to ongoing meaningful programming,” a representative for the hotel said. “The Rockaway Hotel is disappointed by Sunday night’s programming and is working to resolve the matter.” It turned out, though, that the concert was always supposed to be a DJ set—but fans had no idea, as it was not described as such in promos. When the event was being planned, Bronson had said he wanted to do something “different” for his fans, “spinning his own vinyls,” the hotel said in a statement.and Instagram Sunday morning that the event would be a DJ set, not a concert, there was confusion.
