Over three years ago, Hippie Sabotage created chaos on stage at What The Festival when their actions forced security to come on stage and shut them down. Instead of complying, they retaliated against security and created a huge fight on stage which then rippled throughout the EDM community and garnered them a lot of hate. They also got into it personally with Ekali, back when Periscope was still a thing.
It seems that, even after three years, the EDM community has still not forgiven Hippie Sabotage for their actions. The lineup for Okeechobee 2020 was announced today, with HS taking a prominent spot on Sunday’s lineup, and that has driven a group of Twitter users angry over the booking.

Hippie Sabotage got in a fight and choked out a security guard on stage at a festival and have regularly shown themselves to be insufferable douchebags, but here they are still getting booked for major festivals. I truly don’t get it.

apparently some people don’t know hippie sabotage is a duo of two douchebags that treat stage security like shit and ACTUALLY stole music from other very talented artists and did not give them credit whatsoever. I am here to inform you of this, STOP SUPPORTING THESE FOUL ASS MEN

I’m glad to see more people coming out against @HippieSabotage because fuck them. Doesn’t matter what your background is, you can’t be shitty people, ASSAULT someone doing their job, and then act like nothing happened.
Block me on here too baby boys, y’all are trash.— Crab Rangoon Connoisseur (@NapsPartTime) October 14, 2019
Additionally, HS have taken to blocking over two dozen people who are complaining about their spot on the lineup, and more are simply egging them on, asking to be blocked.
Okeechobee returns next year after taking 2019 off with Insomniac as a new owner of the festival. Rufus Du Sol, Bassnectar, Vampire Weekend, and Mumford & Sons are headlining.

Hippie sabotage is like one of those people who treat their friends like crap, get in a huge fight after they get called out and then block the old group and tweet something like “needed a timeline cleanse from toxic people 😌✌🏼✨”
