Popopalooza Popopalooza of Year 64 came and raged world-wide for 10 rounds this time. In all, over 3000 shows with all kinds of crazy in them were played out before it was over. Apart from the insane amount of guitar solos played, people pulled no punches to get to the next round. Here’s what some did to win a round in the competition: 5 people went nuts in the Maasaai Jumping Dance, 88 people accidentally showed their nipples, 12 dare-devils fired six shooters on stage, and last but not least, 70 people claimed the very throne of jazz - seems like there’s an interesting debate arising there! As for what the 37,921,139 US$ in riders for all the round winners went to, we dare only speculate. Or actually, we don’t even dare do that. Who won? Let’s see... Gata Salvaje, Sound Coming From Darkness and Equimanthorn were the final three. Which of them came out Last Band Standing in the end - and all the other results - you can find in the Charts. Meanwhile, we’ll just sulk at the fact that if the Backstreet Devs had taken part, we wouldn’t have made it any longer than to round 2. P.S. We've begun handing out achievements for the Popopalooza now. These will be awarded retroactively for all past Popopalooza contenders as well. In the next couple of days we'll make sure everyone gets the ones they've deserved. The same will also be done for the Big Bang.
