    You already have Riot Fest lol. Make it somewhere random each year changing.

    Great Googly Moogly Prestigious

    Take a break. I agree. Nothing wrong with Vegas.

    Album idea was neat but if youre gonna do that you gotta do some truly unique gets. I made the list before...Paramore RIOT, Green Day DOOKIE, AFI sing of sorrow, Blink ENEMA, etc. Now thats some eye popping ideas

    But even with that, these festivals are about attracting normies. Normies dont care about deep cuts that much.

    I realize this would never happen in a million years but......................... Imagine a festival with say 50 bands of a specific genre, and you show up and don't know any of the bands playing until literally they take the stage. The later in the day it gets the bigger the bands get. You wouldn't know the headliner until 9pm. I know festivals often sell tickets before the lineup is announced but here you wouldn't even know the lineup the day of. Kind of like a festival of surprise bands in a specific genre. Obviously would never happen but would be interesting.

    To be fair I am in Minneapolis, but we don't really get large festivals like that.

    I know this isnt the topic of the thread, but I do think Just Like Heaven still can book acts that fit the festival vibe that havent play it before like The Strokes, Air, LCD Soundsystem, Sky Ferriera, The Kooks or The Libertines (first US show since 2007 maybe can do numbers), plus newer acts like The Dare and Snow Strippers.
    Or they can go bigger with acts like Arctic Monkeys and The Killers

    If they change the location every couple of years this fest can live forever. Bring it to the east coast!

    Yeah I think JLH has a few years left in it and there are easily a few bands they could get for it. But maybe 2 or 3 more, idk how long they could last unless they expand their palette for what “indie” bands they book

    This is why the Warped model of old and new up and coming bands works year over year.

    The Vegas location is fine. It would be unremarkable in Detroit or Dallas or somewhere.

    I get the allure of Vegas. It’s a destination city after all, so it makes sense

    There are plenty of other places will still be warm/hot that time of year anyway

    The Vegas location is absolutely fine. I have gone all 3 years and only had minor issues at any point. All things considered, I think it's an extremely well run festival with good stage spacing, adequate food and drink vendors and bathrooms etc and it's at the best time of the year for heat besides being in actual winter.

    It's a destination city, and is giving large groups of friends an opportunity to go hang out in a fun place or to go in a smaller group and meet people. It's easy to identify who's there for the fest and it's just a great friendly time, from downtown / old Vegas all the way up to the top of the strip.

    I'm all for it and am still probably going to hang out this year even if I'm not going to the fest.

    Southwest had a 50% off sale last week; was able to snag two round trip flights for $500. Last time it cost about $1,300. Flights aren't the best of times, but to save that much money? I don't even care.

    It's been our mini-vacation the last three years. Just a fun long weekend from start to finish.

    where would i be if i was my brain Prestigious

    They should just do it in the middle of the summer at Arrowhead/Kauffman stadium in KC,MO. Really bring back the nostalgia of heat stroke on asphalt.
