It does seem that the band massively overreacted though.
I don't think this will play in their favour now that this has been posted so widely. Apparently the photographer wants the last word on this.

The worst thing that bootcamps can do is to encourage developers to simply "pad" their GitHub accounts with exercises in order to have used as many technologies as possible. I've seen developers bragging solely about the number of repos and commits they have in GitHub.
Generally speaking though, some people come through the programs having gained an incredible amount of skill, some people were already very good and simply looked to extend their skills, and some came through without gaining much at all. Much like any education program.
I think Cardiff has roughly 6000 hotel rooms. The concert is expected to bring in 140,000 people.
