When We Were Young Festival (Las Vegas) Tour • Page 109

Nice!

 

Death Cab and Underoath for Avril is the upgrade to end all upgrades

 

I know this weekend will probably be different than last due to the cancellation, but is there a chance of any popups on friday?

 

Technically it's Death Cab and Underoath for Avril and Wolf Alice as they are going back the the UK.

I really wished I could had seen Wolf Alice on this run, Blue Weekend is an amazing album.

 

that’s such a bummer, Avril was one of my top artists, I’ve never seen her

 

Avril was a ton of fun. Every song was a banger. Crowd was so into it. I wasn't familiar with her Lyme disease issues and that it effects her energy levels but she seemed like she was having a good time up there. She might have lip synched a lot but who cares the performance was great. Glad I got to see her.

 

Biggest surprise for me was Mom Jeans. We ended up there because of a schedule mix up and stayed the entire time. Just great energy all around from the band and the crowd.

I love how appreciative all the artists were of the crews, staff, and everyone else helping. I wish more people would just throw away their trash but hey

 

Lot of people throwing cups with ice in them I'm the crowds. Ice can hurt.

 

avril was a car crash. clearly having a lot of help in the vocal department. looked annoyed and disinterested. I know she said she was having audio issues with her monitors but the whole thing was just a little cringe.

 

underneath should be in the bright eyes slot. ADTR - Underoath - BMTH would be an insane run

 

A lot of conflicting opinions on avrils performance huh

 

I saw Avril at Firefly and saw the last 3 songs after AAR on Sunday and thought every second of it was a mess. I keep seeing so many people online saying their weekend highlight was her bringing up ATL to do all the small things and like I just don’t know what I’m missing.

 

sounds like it's

 

The all time low thing was gross because of the sexual abuse

 

The worst part about not being able to go to this on Saturday was the fact that we didn’t get to have a Chorus meet up.

wish me luck lol, the first three hours will be wild

if anyone has tips on who to see between Hawthorne Heights, Acceptance, and Story of the Year that'd be nice. I've never seen any and am probably never going to see any of them again

 

Underoath or Saosin?

 

not into either of those bands! I figure I could use the break time haha

 

The stages are so spread out and the crowds are so dense that you won't be able to do some of that.

 

I need a time turner

 

After being home for a sleep (and now back at work :( ) I'm still riding the high, and for me and my group it was an absolutely massive success, but it's going to change person by person. I've seen a lot of complaints I didn't see, but can't argue their validity just because I didn't have those same issues.

For next year, the merch line needs to be in a different spot and somehow be made more accessible (length of queue), the screens need to be higher (which I know they will be if it's not windy again - they probably will be next week), and I'd probably rethink the GA pit area, and how the entry was advertised. I'm sure there is so much more going on behind the scenes now about how to make these events safer in regards to crowd crush, so I'll chalk the VIP area and the line for the GA pit up to mitigating those issues rather than poor planning or a cash grab.

I'm glad I left early this year and got on the monorail to get to the other end of the strip before the rush, but I'll deal with the 3 hour uber waits and/or long walk after the show next year to see Blink. MCR was a headliner I was okay ducking out of, but next year, I'll tough out the crowds as I have never seen Blink before and a fest will be a much better experience for me than the local arena show.

I hope everyone going next week has a positive experience as well.

 

Also, here were all the bands I was able to catch mostly full sets of:

Saosin
Hawthorne Heights
Story of The Years
The Startling Line
Glassjaw
Senses Fail
Silverstein
Jimmy Eat World
A Day To Remember
Ice Nine Kills
Bring Me the Horizon
Thursday

Partial sets while meandering between stages:
All American Rejects, Anberlin, Neck Deep, The Used, Four Year Strong, Bright Eyes, Paramore, Sleeping with Sirens

EDIT: Forgot taking back sunday, saw a good bit of their set

 

Green Day will play last next year!

 

My guess is Green Day will take Paramore spot and Blink will be the final headliner (assuming it's organized similarly) but if I'm wrong on that, and it's Green Day top spot, then maybe I would duck early lol. But I have a whole year to decide that :)

EDIT: Looking at poster, and mirroring 2022, it would be Green Day as top.

 

Blink better hope Green Day goes after them hahaha
