Summary

Bando was a long standing musician in San Andreas for a couple years, so since it was a big deal that it would be his last big performance in the state, it was effectively made into a festival of sorts.

History

BandoFest was a musical event at Maze Bank Arena in April 2023. With it being Bando's final performance in San Andreas, it was both a celebration of him as an artist, but also a farewell at the same time. It was primarily set up by Ronin Records, as that was Bando's record label at the time, but Shadowcade and the Shoguns were also very much involved with the event as a whole. Public Works was also a big part of the event, as they were the main vendors for the exclusive Bando Duck plushies and BandoFest Umbrellas. Along with them though, a variety of Businesses took the more minor role of vending other assorted goods; Like Sally's Surf Shop and Stella Melon.

Long Term Effect(s)

It solidified Bando as one of the larger musical artists in San Andreas' history, for those who were around at the time at least. Otherwise the exclusive and sought-after collectibles from the event do still keep him fairly relevant in conversation around the state, long after he's since stopped performing.
