When We Were Young Festival (Las Vegas) Tour • Page 183

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?

 

@Jason Tate Do you have any idea what sort of payday a band is getting for a festival like this? Obviously FOB is making more than a band like Mom Jeans, but for ~45 minutes of work, I’m curious.

 

I don't know the range, sorry.

 

festival rates are usually a bit higher than a headline show for a band. I remember seeing some stuff a few years back that showed some early tent bands at Bonnaroo getting between 20-30k.

 

I've never attended this festival because I didn't wanna fly to Vegas to see The Wonder Years/ Mayday Parade/ etc. play a 30 minute greatest hits set, the guarantee of full albums is the entire appeal in spending several thousand dollars on this vacation. If they just let them play a greatest hits set, that would be asking for lawsuits. That's textbook bait & switch

 

Patrick Stump has gone on record saying they’ll never do that

 

There is definitely some language in the terms of service that probably alludes to the fact that no setlist is guaranteed or something of that sort

 

This happened with a couple bands at Furnace Fest. Both Emery and Blindside were advertised to play the weak’s end and about a burning fire and neither played the full almost in favor of adding in some fan favorites except emery added in a new song no one gave a shit about that was very bad

 

It is according to Red Jumpsuit Apparatus's agent.

 

Idk maybe it’s just me, but I think it’s lame to promote playing an album in full and then not going through with it

 

Never forget when Christopher Drew did multiple tours of ‘I’ll play the first three ep’s’ and never once played all the songs he promised

 

Coheed's drummer stating they were asked to condense their set/album just last week

 

WWWY needs to get its shit together. With Warped Tour returning (in whatever form) next summer, this tour will have actual competition.

Bands and fans may very well choose that over this, and a festival built on getting every band you’ve ever loved together may not survive when it’s not the only show in town.

 

They aren’t in competition when they are both gonna be Live Nation ran festivals lol

 

Oh wow that dude sucks? Shockerrrr

 

Part of me wonders if they are going to combine forces with Warped ‘25.

 

Warped Tour reboot is literally going to be ran by the same company… it’s not going to be a competition, it’s going to be a combination…

 

I'd be so annoyed if I bought tickets and booked travel and didn't get the album playthrough since most of the bands on the bill are active and tour. I've also been annoyed when bands announce a tour is album playthrough after tickets are sold (Taking Back Sunday with Tidal Wave).

 

BLG teasing...

 

Honestly a sick replacement, BLG is firing on all cylinders and their live show is awesome

 

I'm missing the BLG sideshow so a chance to see them at the fest would be great.
