When We Were Young Festival (Las Vegas) Tour • Page 178

My wristbands for Saturday came with the activation instructions on a WWWY postcard and it mentioned there was a $20 wristband replacement fee, so I'm guessing getting a replacement for one that they shipped to the wrong place would be $20 worst case scenario, hopefully free based on other people's experiences with customer service.

 

Two weeks away!

 

10 day count down begins for me and I'm pumped. My buddy got the wristbands already so we're all set - he just said to text the hell out of him in the days before to remind him not to forget.

I get into Vegas EARLY on the 17th (the stupidest and earliest flight I've ever had) but I'll already have friends there and they're early risers and will take me straight to the pool for a drink. They're 2 of my best friends that got married in Vegas and they go back every year to celebrate and their anniversary / trip overlaps with the fest each year. They don't do the show, but just extra company in Vegas.

Got the Knocked Loose show Friday and Festival on Sunday, leaving on Monday.

My only hope now is that the weather cools. Sub 90 at least, if not sub 85 would be perfect. Please no freak mid 90's to 100 October day.

 

I want to know the set times for conflicts and just to see what it looks like as with full album plays, you're going to get some really strange set times and overlaps. Like no idea if the bands with 'short' albums will get rounded up sets to play greatest hits or if we're going to see 25 min / 50 min / 1hr 10 min set times. Coheed was the first to say that when they said full album, they meant it... interludes and all. I'm used to organized set times with bands on the 15 or the 30 or the hour and I imagine this year will not be able to do that.

 

I've been thinking about this a lot today since I started listening to albums to prep a bit & help decide on sets... I can't fathom Cartel playing the full almost 10 min version of A. JEW's album play is 46 minutes, they could easily get an hour & play some Futures songs. I'm very ready for this schedule to come out!!

 

Well RJA said they get one extra song and I figure they'll be pretty early in the day for main stage or midway through on the smaller stages. I was thinking coheed might be at the same time as mcr or fob with the album being so long. Also excited to see the official times

 

It’s going to be a real shit show in here if they announce set times shorter than the albums they’re expected to play

 

I can't say that for me I'd even know by that information but I would have gone regardless of format, and it's not the albums that are getting me there. In fact for a lot of the bands (the Used), they're playing by far the weaker album.

And I think the natural assumption will be that they're cutting interludes if set times appear 'short'. However, people will have a right to be a little salty if their fave bands album isn't played as advertised.

I get the whole subject to change, bands drop out, are added etc all the time.

 

At furnace fest blindside, Emery, and eighteen visions were all advertised as full album plays and they didn't do that. Kinda disappointing but oh well

 

Just checked the Emery setlist since they're playing WWWY too, & yeah, that's frustrating. 8/10 from the album but still played 3 other songs, so time wasn't an issue

 

Anyone going to the pool party?

 

The hawthorne heights one? Yes

 

At Furnace Fest there was some bands that were slated to do full albums but ended just doing some songs off that album (Emery, Blindside, Eighteen Visions). I won't be surprised if that happens at WWWY too.

 

If The used did this I wouldn't be mad, and then go on to also play songs from their self titled.

 

Give me the schedule or at least the map.

 

If I don't hear Cut Up Angels directly after All That I've Got the only time I'm ever "guaranteed" to, I will absolutely lose my shit

 

Gonna guess Friday or Monday

 

It looks like every year they’ve been pretty much releasing the schedule the Monday before the fest. I know it’s only year 3 but seems to be what they aim for thus far.

 

Getting excited! The last two years have been a blast plus it's always nice to take off from work to fuck around in Vegas for a few days.

 

Looks like cobra isn't playing viva in full based on the setlist they forgot to blur out in a post. Still looks like a fun one tho

 

I assumed it was for the side show but I didn’t get to see it before they posted the new one blurred out so idk

 

It was both setlists, one was significantly shorter than the other. Looks like they're playing about 9 songs at the fest and 13 or 14 at the sideshow

 

I feel like the layout of the map for the last two years have been very the same, but I really want that schedule.

I'm sure they'll play the whole album lol

 

The short Cobra setlist looked like a standard set from the songs I could sort of make out. Strange

 

it's def a hits type set, I just didn't wanna spoil anything for those that like to be surprised.
