There's a band in that poster that isn't like the others. Knocked Loose is going to be a little surprising for all those 30 year olds wearing black skinny jeans.

Got Fyre Fest 2.0 written all over it.

Thought the same thing, but at least this one is in Vegas so if the festival is a disaster at least you're still in Vegas

Hopefully they're all just playing their Punk Goes covers

My wife is begging to go to this. Like above, I know like 1-3 songs per band from most of them. That many bands in only 12 hours. What are they gonna do, 15-20 minute sets. Las Vegas Festival grounds isn't exactly a massive lot so they can probably only have 2-3 stages max without bands drowning each other out.

Seems like something that is too good to be true.

Alkaline trio is missing.

Edit - nevermind, there they are.

There are actually several bands that don't fit the bill. As max power mentioned knocked loose doesn't, and bring me the horizon doesn't in a different way. You also have the horror pops which seem like an outlier as well. Atreyu is sort if an outlier i think. This is just a metalcore/screamo/emo fest.

AFI is kind of a mixed bag too as they have hardcore roots and were originally a straight hardcore band but Davey havok got WEIRD and then the fishnets crowd kind of took over.

And Manchester Orchestra

Guess its not for you then

One band I'm surprised is not on there is All Time Low

Saw this on Twitter, but how did they not called this the Washed Warp Tour?

I can see this turning into a giant dumpster fire for a few reasons.

• That many bands on 3 stages in one day. Even if they use rotating stages the set schedule is going out the window by mid-day.
• The LVFG isn't exactly a huge area and I'm not sure how that'll work acoustically with multiple bands playing at the same time.
• Pricey tickets for a one day festival in Vegas just gives me a bad feeling.

That being said, it is Live Nation and not some fly by night Fyre Festival type group putting this on and, especially after the Astroworld tragedy, they'll be in full on CYA mode with safety and security.

Disagree, have you heard any of their recent stuff?

NOFX?
Bad Religion?

Where are they?

35ish year old barber and his 50ish year old client next to my guy today were going on and on about this fest and all these bands. Was very funny to me. Barber started busting out all these tracks to play for his client. It all felt very old.

Different generation. This festival is more 2000-2010s bands.

Now I ask where are Blink 182 (or Angels and Airwaves), Good Charlotte, New Found Glory or Bowling for Soup.

Those are the mainstream bands of that generation. They aren't in this same vein imo. The fans of the bands on this fest look down on those bands id think. Avril Lavigne kind of surprises me honestly.

I don't know how you can hate on MCR. Maybe you don't like their gimmick, but their last two albums (Black Parade and Danger Days) are incredible. They remind me of Queen, where almost every song on an album is a different type of genre of rock music, but it all fits together perfectly.

ADTR's Homecoming Album is incredible too, and Taking Back Sunday has 3 or 4 great albums.

Give me crappy screamo or pop punk over crappy grunge music any day.

MCR is the band that as a 40 year old I feel guilty listening to but will absolutely go to their next concert.

Hell, Paramore stopped playing a number of their songs. They don't play Misery Business anymore because "calling someone a w***e is not cool".

Man I'm glad when I was a preteen I had AIC, PJ, SG and Nirvana.

I wish they had booked Underoath.. but black metal original lineup Underoath and not lame screamo version.

I love the 40 year old dudes with 30 extra pounds with A full tattoo sleeve and a polo shirt.

Is it better than the gals with 50 extra pounds that make sure they wear something that reveals their shoulders so you can see the tattoos they have on those shoulders while trying to look edgy with pink and purple and lime green streaks in their "talk to the manager" haircut?
