When We Were Young Festival (Las Vegas) Tour • Page 182

I can't help but think this is Alesana or Cobra.

 

Heh, it is not either of those.

 

I should bring back AP.net just to drop all the tea I've heard about the drama of this festival, go wild for three weeks, and then retire off the internet forever.

 

Only if you bring back scene points and post as former staffers. Pin it all on Appleby.

 

Something tells me Chiodos but they I think didn’t reunite and it’s just Craig and hired guns for that set

 

this is almost exactly what I heard, with a few more details about other bands that had this happen

 

Confirming it's just Craig performing under the Chiodos name at WWWY and on the Emo's Not Dead cruise. Not sure who the band will be, wouldn't shock me if it was the D.R.U.G.S. lineup since they're playing shows anyway (they were in Anaheim last night).

 

But was it in the contracts or not?

 

over/under on the amount of bands who end up not playing the advertised album?

 

so it sounds like the bands are no longer obligated to perform the full albums? i wonder how many bands are gonna go rogue now and just play a regular set. and i wonder what the percentages will be of relieved fans vs pissed off fans who will inevitably call the festival a "shit show" for "false advertising." cuz you know that shit will happen haha.

 

If bands already rehearsed the set with the full album, I hope most of them do it (at least the ones I want to hear in full lol)

 

I mean, it would 100% be false advertising which is why they’ve probably stood their ground on the matter.

 

Well, as someone who bought a ticket to this festival specifically to hear one of the bands perform a specific album, I'm hoping they still do haha

 

MEGA-FEST MAVEN JEFFREY SHUMAN EXITS LIVE NATION

and if you're curious whooooo recently left

 

I wouldn’t have even bought tickets if it weren’t an album play fest

 

"Weighing retirement" at the age of 40 after a "10-year run." Man, I really got into the wrong line of work.

 

didn't we all

 

I don't get why a band would push back on an album play? Especially a band like all American rejects who aren't really active anymore. They rarely play or tour or make new music that makes any waves....and it's not as if they come off as some artistic values band where they're "over their old material".

Don't get it

 

Probably not rehearsed, also for most of these bands, I think their sets will go over better with a more varied set unless they have, like, one album that towers above the rest of their discography.

 

Is Fall Out Boy playing a full album? I’m guessing they are the big band.

 

It's just funny since a ton of these acts have done album anniversary tours at some point

 

No, there's no way they would've agreed to do an album.

 

I’d expect their FOB Eras Tour set they did at Riot Fest.

 

How does Riot Fest handle this? We will pay you X to play or X+Y to play if you play this album?
