Quick updates: Dope Tour/EDF.org social media

Just wanted to check in with a couple of updates for you: Dope tour news, and a bit of a lengthy update on the state of our fansite’s social media.

First off, exciting Dope tour news for fans in Pennsylvania: Dope has officially announced a date for Allentown! If you’re in the area, be sure to grab your tickets at dopetheband.com for all the latest tour news. Don’t miss out!

Next, I would like a bit of a chat about our social media. I’ve been reflecting a lot lately about this site’s social media presence, especially with the TikTok ban now looking all but certain. To be honest, it’s been hard to stay motivated to post on the fansite’s social media as often as I once did. I know I shouldn’t let it get to me, but it’s really drained my creative energy. It’s also led me to reassess my priorities.

After giving it some thought, I’ve decided to shift my focus. For now, I’ll be stepping back from EDF.org’s social media presence. I’m NOT disappearing, and I’m not deleting any of my past posts, but I truly believe the real support and conversations should be happening on Dope’s official channels. Those are the best places to stay connected with the band and fellow fans. I don’t want to unintentionally get in the way of their outreach, and honestly, I’ve started to feel like I might have been doing that. If that’s the case, I want to make sure I correct it.

So, I’m redirecting my focus to edseldopefan.org, where I’ll continue sharing content and building a space to celebrate Edsel and the band’s music. This site has become an afterthought lately, and it’s time to fix that. I’m really passionate about edseldopefan.org, and I feel like it’s where I can make the most meaningful contributions right now.

It’s been amazing to see how many of you still love Edsel and his music. Hearing that is what makes all this worth it—even in times of uncertainty. I’m not going anywhere, just shifting my focus a bit to make sure this site is the best it can be for you.

Thank you for your continued support, and I’m excited to keep building this community with all of you. Let’s keep the energy going!

Dope Joins Machines vs. Monsters Tour

Dope is teaming up with the legendary Static-X for the Machines vs. Monsters Tour 2025! After all the chaos this year, this is exactly what I need. If they announce a date for Atlanta, you better believe I’m packing my bags and heading out. I covered the Atlanta stop on the Machine Killer Tour, and it was absolutely epic. I know this one will be just as unforgettable!

Dope Bus Invaders Screencaps, etc.

The LARGEST Edsel Dope photo gallery on the net just keeps getting better.  We’re coming at you with updates from classic spots with Dope: Bus Invaders and other segments from Digital Tour Bus. Let’s get right into it.

dope bus invaders

Dope: Bus Invaders
View Photos | View Video

  • 47 photos added to Dope: Bus Invaders. This is a segment that is still pretty popular, and with good reason!
  • Not familiar with Bus Invaders? Here’s a rundown: Do you remember MTV Cribs? Think of that, but with tour buses. If you liked MTV Cribs, you will probably like this channel. I for one am quite nosy and find this sort of content really interesting. I’m forever watching “what’s in my bag” videos, or house tours.
  • Edsel himself is the one giving the tour of their bus, and is accompanied by the man, the myth, the legend Acey Slade.

Dope: Tour Pranks
View Photos | View Video

  • 37 photos added to Dope: Tour Pranks!
  • ANOTHER video with both Edsel and Acey? Heck yeah! I’ll understand if you need a moment to compose yourself to get ready for all that awesome.
  • This is another video by the awesome Digital Tour Bus. Shockingly, this channel doesn’t have at least a million subs even though they really should. You know you can fix that, right? If you like what Digital Tour Bus creates, why not subscribe? You can check out their channel right here.

Dope: Tour Tips
View Photos | View Video

  • 42 photos added to Dope: Tour Tips.
  • The last in that series from Digital Tour Bus, we join Acey and Edsel one more time. Two rock legends, one video. Your day just keeps getting better. This is a very fun series, I really hope you watch all the videos!

Again, if you liked what you saw, please sub to Digital Tour Bus. They have a lot of cool people featured – the one on Wednesday 13 was also really interesting. Which video was your fave?

Dope at Sick New World Photos

Want to see new pics of Dope at Sick New World? Then why aren’t you following Dope on their social media accounts? One of the pics they’ve posted is of Edsel, and when I tell you I covet that shirt… I’m not kidding. That is a fricking rad shirt. It looks like Dope’s set brought in a lot of people judging by that shot of the audience. We love to see it!

dope sick new world

Seriously, if you aren’t following Dope on social media… what in the world (the Sick New World in this case) … are you doing with your time? Stop doom scrolling for a moment and follow Dope! (Actually, maybe stop doom scrolling altogether, that’s not good for you). To see ALL the pics Dope posted from this concert on their social media accounts, please follow them with the links below.

In Dope tour news, the Machine Killer Tour is still going strong! As far as I know, VIP packages are still available – if you can swing it, it’s a really awesome experience. Every Dope fan’s dream, really. For more info, check out my post here on what to expect on the VIP experience. It might seem a bit overwhelming at first, but honestly for me? The experience of getting to meet my idol and muse was absolutely priceless. I’d do it again in a heartbeat.

Remember, remember the… 4th of May. (Pardon me, Edsel’s attire got that stuck in my head, so I had to use the joke.) edseldopefan.org’s ONE YEAR anniversary is coming up, and we couldn’t be more excited. I hope you’ll be back to celebrate with us. <3
