When We Were Young Festival (Las Vegas) Tour • Page 79

Yeah, each band will have a single shirt. Paramore and My Chem more.

 

Curious about the views from the VIP sections. The front of the Pink stage, but seems like a pretty side view of the Black Stage/MCR. Also the VIP for Checker Stripes looks oddly placed right in between the two stages, but maybe that's just a map flaw as opposed to the actual layout.

 

It's almost like this festival is funded by a faceless corporation that doesn't give a shit about music, the fans, or anything other than making money...

 

they got Blink, Finch, Michelle Branch, and Lit all on the same show. take all my money.

 

Decided to book a hotel for next year's in the event I grab tickets on stub hub.

 

Btw just some advice. Its not usually wise to book hotels this far in advanced. You're not getting the best price and in a city like Vegas I wouldn't be as stressed about availability

 

150 a night is far cheaper than what I paid for this festival lol

 

This is bad advice for huge events the prices always go way up. Check what people are paying for this year who booked late

 

Agreed. All i know is my $500 room has been $1500 for a few months now and my room next year is $88/nighr + resort fees. Could it be less at the sweet spot in between? Maybe, but its well within my budget now to book and be 100% in.

 

People reeeeally want this to be Fyre Fest for some reason

 

People have it so built up in their mind that it's going to fail that it's going to look embarrassing if it it isn't

 

they're allowing re-entry. so even if vendors pulled out, you can walk to literally anywhere and get a drink or food. it's not that big of a deal, really, if true.

 

and what does "many headliners" even mean? aren't there only 2 headliners? Blink and Green Day have both promoted it on their social media... haha the internet sure is fun

 

This is either gonna go super smoothly Saturday and I’m gonna have a blast or if the conspiracy theorists are right and it’s a shit show then I’ll have one hell of a story and can just retire from festivals since I’m 30!

 

yeah it's a win-win either way. either you have a great time or you can laugh about it online.

 

Unless they're calling the stage closers the headliners?

Blink and Green Day have been confirmed for months and months lol

 

actually, the stuff that the vendors will be selling will probably be super expensive anyway, so actually going across the street to get food and drinks might be better anyway. unless your schedule is like mine and there's no gap between bands to even think about getting food.

 

Can’t wait until a bunch of people that have either never gone to a fest or haven’t gone in a long time start crying on twitter about what a shit show it is that they had to wait 10 minutes for a beer

 

It feels like a case of something becoming so popular people just want to see it fail

 

Don't forget that it will also be the festival's fault it's hot outside!

 

"I missed [insert band name here] because I had to stand in line forever just to get a beer! I demand a refund! #fyrefest2"

 

Imagine panicking and trying to sell your tickets 3 days before the fest because someone said that some vendors are pulling out and next year's lineup wasn't supposed to be released... Some people are just plain idiots

 

Yea... I've waited an hour for beer at a festival before. The drink tents look to be within hearing shot of stages, so if you're that thirsty, you listen while you wait. I get it's an insane lineup that on paper, seems to good to be true, but many people are SO up for seeing this fail that it's just weird at this point. I'll be in Vegas with my homies so there's not much (barring things I won't even tempt mentioning) that could go wrong that would make me regret it in any way.

At the very least, it's happening and you can check out progress pics online of it being set up (mostly on reddit).

The drink lines being long may be a good thing as with how packed it appears it's going to be, I may be uncomfortable getting too fucked up and having to deal with crowd flow. That's just my only concern. It says 85,000 is the capacity online but it may be reduced with the number of stages as I don't think it's normally set up with 5 stages like this. Either way, may be a good idea to keep my wits about me a little bit but i know that will all go out the window when I start chugging drinks on the monorail on the way over...

 

It can't be worse than what was going on on Riot Fest on Friday when MCR were playing.
