Adjacent Festival (Atlantic City) Festival • Page 30

Was there any final numbers on turnout/ticket sales? Seemed to do well but just curious how well it actually did and if it was close to selling out or anything

 

I wanna say the first night did like 18k and the second night did 24k is what I read online.

 

Fall Out Boy and Green Day as headliners would make a lot of sense.

 

I suspect as least one if not both of them will headline, but I’m hoping they somehow get MCR.

 

If that's true, that's a not great.

Paramore and Blink on their own headlining tours are doing 15-20k a night.

 

I think they very quickly figured out they picked the wrong weekend.

 

Very curious to see what weekend they’ll pick next year if this does indeed come back

 

Memorial Day was perfect for me since I didn’t have to take any PTO or anything, so I’ll be kinda bummed if they move it cus it’ll most likely kill my chances of going again

 

I wouldn’t go again if it was Memorial Day weekend but would on a different weekend. Memorial Day weekend is just too big of a weekend to pick in the tri state area with all the beach towns

 

Memorial Day weekend just never really made a ton of sense to me. People are going to go to Atlantic City and fill up the beaches, hotels, casinos, etc. that weekend no matter what. Better off picking a quieter weekend to bring in some more revenue for the city

 

Memorial day weekend wasn’t a negative for me personally given that my hotel was comped because of casino status, but I recognize that’s not the reality for the overwhelming majority of people attending the fest. I did kinda like it being that weekend though given how much more alive the boardwalk felt compared to a normal weekend in AC

 

If they're gonna do another weekend, I'd personally prefer it be earlier. I'd rather not be able to swim & have a better chance of "good" weather vs it being in late June & it be crazy hot

 

Yeah agreed. One of my favorite parts about this year is that it wasn’t ten thousand degrees out

 

They could do it the weekend Bamboozle was suppose to be since that obviously won't happen next year

 

I’m hoping a few of those bands that were booked for Bamboozle pop up on this next year. Scowl, Angel Du$t, Mindforce, etc.

Bizkit would be a ton of fun too but I don’t think that’s the direction they’re going for lol

 

The Eras Tour being in NJ that same weekend couldn’t have helped

 

Who are some bands from the general area that might be likely for next year? Seemed like a focus this year with Midtown, TSL, The Movielife, IATA, Incendiary, Thursday, Coheed, etc.

TBS and Bayside immediately come to mind

 

Glassjaw

 

Koyo

 

Early November

 

Yeah I guess TEN and Senses Fail would make sense given both played the unofficial afterparties

 

The wonder years

Mewithoutyou reunion (I wish)

 

Armor for Sleep

 

High Vis, Militarie Gun, Better Lovers, Drain

 

Have it on good authority this festival is happening again in 2024 and that they're aiming for 70k attendees over two days.
