Four For Friday - The Festival

The hoop-themed LGBT festival (#1) repeatedly denied a solo slot to this singer (#2) who is B-list in her home country, A-list across Europe and Asia and A+ as part of her musical trio (#3), who has always been a staunch ally. They insisted the only way they would book would be if she reunited with the trio, even though they book ex-band members and drug addicted porn stars (#4) with no hits. Performing hundreds of gigs annually and outselling her more famous in their own bandmate/rival overseas, she refused the reunion, warning the festival she’d never play for them if she reunited. Now, her struggling bandmate (#5) is trying to revive a floundering career, appearing at the festival as a “surprise act.”
