Sick New World Festival (Las Vegas) Tour • Page 3

And it’s sold out

 

Damn, 60k tickets. That’s solid.

 

This was another easy sell out. 4 hours is impressive

 

Took a bit longer than WWWY to sell out, but it got there. All my friends got tickets and it was actually smooth for me to get mine. Was checked out within a couple minutes after 10

 

Guaranteed that Incubus will jam out "Sick Sad Little World" at this fest.

 

If they don’t, then what’s even the point of them playing?

 

The point, I'm pretty sure, is to make Brandon Boyd sad and bully him into admitting that they were, at one point, a nu-metal band regardless of how they perceived themselves. And that he should stop taking himself so serious.

(Though, admittedly, I think that was a very brief period that ended in 1999. Everything else after that was just straight-up who they were associated with.)

Sidenote: A local radio show here used to do a game to give away tickets whenever Incubus would come to town. They called it "Gandolf or Incubus?" and the listeners had to determine if the passage being read was from a Lord of the Rings book or if they were Incubus lyrics. Remarkably hard.

 

Oh yeah. I think Incubus, like Deftones became very self-aware of themselves and the scene they became associated with and definitely worked hard to get out of it. And I think, for the most part, they were successful in that.

LMAO that’s amazing

 

I didn't hear it first hand but a friend re-counted that a local radio station had a competition to win tickets to a Korn show where they would read a title and the listener had to determine if it was the title of a Korn song or a porn. It was also apparently difficult.

 

Ball Tongue

 

wow I'm looking at Korn song titles now and there are A LOT that would fit that game

 

Beat It Upright

 

Failure dropped off the lineup

 

with this two months out, I'm still surprised Mudvayne and/or Limp Bizkit weren't added to the bill.

 

I’m not surprised at all. It’s sold out, what’s the incentive for them to spend more on the lineup?

 

rephrase, surprised they weren't on the bill to begin with.*

 

This photo was apparently taken yesterday of the grounds...

 

ooh, not sure if that's just an early production photo or what, but it looks to me that they may be trying a different layout? That one end-stage area there was both headliner stages for WWWY ... hmm

 

Set times and map dropping today

 

These are actually pretty good! Not as many painful conflicts. Spiritbox vs Turnstile would be the worst one for me

 

Deftones/Loathe at the same time and Incubus/Hoobastank at the same time smh

 

Brutal conflicts

 

On the site they swapped Hoobastank with Loathe. Thats a good way to solve Deftonew vs Loathe

 

I'm not going, but those just seemed like the most egregious of the conflicts
