I feel like I'm missing some necessary context.

DECO*27 has a similar syntax that is sometimes seen used by boybands, and the number in those cases represents how many members there are in the band.

From what i have seen, it's mostly kpop bands, but funnily enough, since that's not my type of music, the only example I can remember right now is the Jackson 5

Ah thanks. And DECO*27 is a group with a different number of members? (Presumably less?) At least, that's what 'people have misunderstood that "DECO*27" is a group' would seem to imply.

Just wait until they find out about 311 and how hard they had it finding venues that could fit over 300 people on stage!

Nah should be easy on a stage the size of a stadium like this https://youtube.com/watch?v=gZ9zOiRdOgs
