When We Were Young Festival (Las Vegas) Tour • Page 5

I’m sure they wouldn’t even be playing close to each other’s set times had they been on the bill.

 

I'll be there for car seat headrest!! I happen to miss them every time they come to my area


But yeah I paid this much for mcr basically so add seeing even a few of the others bands on top of that and it's worth the price to me, even if I don't get to see everyone I want. But Vegas is also a relatively short flight from me and I've traveled there for much less exciting concerts so it's a no brainer for me.

 

Stole this from someone I follow on twitter. Pretty sure they are pretty accurate with this

Set times are gonna be like:
5pm: Bright Eyes | JEW | Armor For Sleep | The Starting Line
5:35pm: The Used | Bayside | Senses Fail | Silverstein | Thursday
6pm: AFI | BMTH | ADTR | Avril
6:50pm: TBS | Dashboard | AK3
8pm: MCR | Paramore

 

Will there be an ap.net tent?

 

if JEW, AFS, and TSL were all at the same time, i'd riottttttttttttttttttttttt

 

I want to go to this so bad

 

Just go to Riot Fest it's 3 days and you'll get like 75% of these bands lol.

 

None of my irl friends are responding to my frenzied texts about this event smh

 

I really wanted to go back to Vegas anyway so this is the perfect excuse. But I also live in Chicago and go to Riot Fest every year, and the conflicts for this are going to be just brutal.

 

Who cares about the money, just make it all back at the casino.

 

This damn flyer is like every text and Instagram post/story I’ve seen today haha, it feels like my feed alone could sell this out

 

Honestly I'm so confused by this. Arguably its one of the best festival lineups in terms ever in terms of the demographic, but like.. it entirely misses the point by being a 1 day fest? People into "the scene" back then were probably into a majority of these bands. There's like 25 bands on there I'd wanna see. And I'm sure for some, almost every band is one they want to see. Its just flat out stupid. You'd think it was booked by a smaller promoter or something. So strange.

 

Also, the previous incarnation of this festival was 2 days with a smaller line-up?

 

All I can think about is how much money this is going to make

 

All I can think about is how much money I'm going to make at the tables. I have a system.

 

I feel this is going to be a sold out the same day tickets go on sale. Everybody on my social media is sharing it.

 

i agree. to me it seems like a cash grab because they know they can sell it out no matter what. they don't care if you don't get to see the bands you want to see. if they did, it would be multi-day

 

This.

 

mr krabs ass festival

 

What about how much all those guarantees are going to add up to? It's an outrageous total.

 

What if they had a festival, similar to this except for the older folks (Echo/Bunnymen, Smiths, Cure, etc....)

Would it be the same thing? Older, yes. But the Gen X crowd could do it....

 

The Cure had a touring fest in 2004. Cure Announce Festival Tour With Interpol, Rapture, Mogwai

Obviously the Smiths are never reuniting.

 

I just don’t get how they got so many bands to route to Vegas on the same day. Would Live Nation block smaller shows from happening the day before and after? Wonder how menu venues they operate in Vegas.
