When We Were Young Festival (Las Vegas) Tour • Page 212

A good chunk of repeat bands from this year.

The Used, The Maine, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Starting Line, Sleeping With Sirens, Story Of The Year, Boys Like Girls, Mayday Parade, We The Kings.

 

No Pierce the Veil too I just noticed

 

Destroy Boys havent played wwwy before. But Simple Plan and TBS did

 

Excited:
Straylight Run
The Movielife (never seen)
Alexisonfire (haven’t seen in almost 20 years)

Would watch:
Blink 182
Weezer (never seen)
Avril (never seen)
Offspring (never seen)
Yellowcard
Simple plan
Taking back Sunday
The used
Starting line
Jacks mannequin
Panic at the disco (don’t like them but just for the lolz)

don’t know if that’s enough to get me there. Def not enough to go 2 days.

 

Red Jumpsuit and Story of the Year are basically the WWWY house bands at this point imo

 

Honestly I need to know if it's original lineup of Panic! or not. If it's original then I will probably be forced to travel for this, but if it's just Brendon idk it'd be fun but I'm not sure if it's $1,000 weekend fun.

 

My guess is Panic will be Brendon with hired guns. It's cool, but I saw the Fever lineup play Fever in full in 2006 since that's the only material they had hahaha

 

I'm assuming they'll be playing less songs from their last album and more deep cuts from Enema- untitled albums. It's crazy that none of the When we were young fests that Blink 182 has played they have been the true headliner.

 

blink-182 (the albums listed are good)
all time low (so wrong, it's right)
yellowcard (paper walls)
mayday parade (self-titled)
the cab (whisper war)
the story so far (what you don't see)
the maine (black & white)
the red jumpsuit apparatus (don't you fake it)

Staked year with no surprise, but these are my hopes for albums being played in full

 

If it's full band and not just Brendon can see them doing a tour or mini run after.

Demand for their last tour wasn't the best and him playing their first album (when a lot of attendees would be more mainstream fans last tour) without the other members is a recipe for disaster. Most people who would go to a Panic tour for that album want at least Ryan if not Spencer in the mix.

 

I hate to say it but.......eh. i guess the idea of them going bigger and bigger or evolving is over. If it wasn't for 2022 ans 2023 I'd say this looks awesome but honestly I'm only interested in blink, offspring, Weezer, and Avril (I've seen used a billion times)

Undercard is filled with metal/post hardcore/crabcore which ain't my jam.

Straylight run is a cool get but that's about it for the undercard

 

Yeah exactly. The wording feels misleading on purpose. At first glance you're like holy shit...blink early album set only...but I get a sense maybe 1 or 2 deep cuts but a normal set. Which is awesome sure but like you said the wording feels intentional

 

this lineup is catered more to the people who graduated high school between 2006 and 2008, I think haha.

panic, all time low, mayday parade, boys like girls, the cab, breathe carolina, the rocket summer, the summer set, red jumpsuit, never shout never...

not for me.

 

Bad religion. Come on that has to be 100% the biggest outlier band. When i saw them on the poster I expected to spot a ton of punk bands sprinkled and thought they'd go that route...


Lol nope. Just 1 random old punk band among a see of scene kids who listened to Breathe Carolina in 2007

 

The email I got for this says this will be your only chance to see Panic

 

“As the saying goes, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, so their When We Were Young appearance will be the only chance to see Panic! back on stage.”

 

The Gaslight Anthem is in their sphere.

Beyond that, this lineup is...interesting. Sunami's going to go over interestingly. 1-8-7 on a p.i.g.

 

The bands i'd like to see: Blink 182, Panic at the disco, Weezer, The offspring, The gaslight anthem, Alexisonfire, Straylight run, Knocked loose

There is a lot of bands I already saw at the last three that I can skip seeing. Bad religion I also saw at No values, them and Weezer feel out of place for me.

 

No such thing as Weezer ever being out of place

 

I love Weezer but this ain't their scene.

 

Future headliners I can see happening now:
2026 - Brand New playing Devil and God (I know, controversial but wouldn't shock me)
2027 - Sum 41's inevitable reunion

 

its their goddamn arms race

 

SET YOUR GOALS?!
