If there is a world quest about helping swimming goblins, and there is no action button to complete this quest named as "Hype the Band", you should complete the world quest first.

A goblin named Gnome? 🤔

The "Gather a Crowd" bar won't progress if you are in a party where the some other player is not as far in the quest line. After I left the party I was able to progress normally.

Description

Can't believe Revilgaz scheduled us first! No one shows up for the first band! Whatever. You the one that oldhair Marty mentioned? He already gave me the lowdown on your plan to keep the Gallagio from going to auction. Seems ridiculous. Which makes it our kinda plan. Let's make a deal. Our manager dumped us when the casino deal went south, so YOU are gonna fill in for her today. Don't worry, couldn't be worse than any other job you've done. First thing on your list: gather us a crowd.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Blackwater Beach BlastUndermine · Level 80
You've done good work with Jojo. Real good. I'll stick around, seal the deal, then meet you over at Blackwater Marina for the final signature. Had my radio turned to WGOB 101.1 FM while dropping off the fifteen landfill-scented individuals earlier. DJ B. B.

Plunder Party Rockin' RumbleUndermine · Level 80
Here! Take this Mecha-Trianbell! I don't care that you can't play an instrument because you WILL be playing this one. While we're jamming, members of rival bands will storm the stage to stop us.
