Best Friends Forever 2025 in Las Vegas, NV (Oct 10-12) Tour • Page 3

JEW and Penfold announced for the lineup. Looks like PUP fell through?

 

sounds like JEW are playing a special setlist including songs off Clarity and other rarely played songs. i'm guessing a good chunk of Static Prevails songs will be in the set, and that makes me excited.

but damn, fuckin PENFOLD! incredible band.

 

Where did you saw about Jimmy's setlist?

 

The promoter’s post about the announcement. But Jimmy Eat World just posted basically a copy pasted post.

 

They have pretty good payment plans for the hotel. I'm staying at the Four Queens which is literally facing the venue. Only hotel option they have with no resort fee. Along with two tickets to the sold out pre-show with Mineral, I'm paying $911.35 on the hotel package with pre-show tickets. After I pay for the hotel, all I will have left to pay for is the plane tickets, and then whatever money I spend once I'm in Las Vegas.

Last year I stayed at The Plaza which I really liked (especially the donut shop). The walk wasn't bad at all. Four Queens is a cheaper hotel though and after doing the festival, it's such a huge plus to have a room that is literally facing the venue, so I'm switching it up.

I did 3 day VIP before the lineup was announced which ended up being $363.73 after all taxes and fees.

I'm committed to this being the one big festival/concert I do this year. It's more affordable and convenient to me than most other festival experiences.

The fact that there are no overlapping sets is such a big deal. After going last year, it really spoiled me. I wish more festivals did it.

 

Have a great time!

 

Anyone looking to buy tickets? I have the 3 Day VIP Pass with the Thursday night kickoff show with Mineral. Paid over $400 for early bird, but willing to let it go for $300. I bought them in February and no longer can attend in October!

 

let me crunch some numbers...

 

I'm interviewing John Galm on Friday for my podcast (filmsforthevoid.com) if anyone has any questions!

 

Hey! Set times got released today!

 

really wanna go but with my injury it's tricky.

 

okay so i think im gonna drive in for day 1, fly to detroit to see modest mouse on day 2 (they've been doing the moon & antarctica this tour), fly back for day 3, then drive home.

and then i see my doc on wednesday in case after all that he needs to do another injection lol

 

anyone here?

 

I went! What an incredible festival. Can't wait for next year.

 

Bands I'd love for them to get next year:

Everyone Asked About You
The Jealous Sound
Pohgoh
Grade
Long Since Forgotten
Sunday's Best
Compound Red
The Promise Ring
Prawn
The Rocking Horse Winner
Few and Far Between
Further Seems Forever (Moon is Down with Chris)
Everyone Everywhere
Anatomy of a Ghost

 

Everyone asked About You played the first year! They were so good.

Rumor has it that after next year's, they may take a hiatus and do a "Best Of" version. So maybe Everyone Asked About You could play that one.

 

Nice! And hopefully a Mineral reunion! Haha

 

I think the next step would be to have The Gloria Record play. They were basically a continuation of Mineral.

 

I’m not sure what good a “best of” version would do, but as someone who wasn’t able to attend the first two, I actually would be down for this

 

Probably a higher priced ticket but the talent level from beginning to end would be absolutely ridiculous.

Also, for fun I decided to categorize all the bands that have played BFF thus far into their respective scenes. I used Google AI for reference. I apologize in advance for any inaccuracies, and would gladly take suggestions.
