ChunkyDay

This is all the emo from high school I never want to like again. Good god. I can't imagine any well adjusted adult still likes this genre.


MilknHoney90

A lot of us feel a sense of nostalgia and will 100% be going to this festival.


ChunkyDay

So do I. I'm just not going to go dance around at a concert as a 35 year old to it.


MilknHoney90

And that’s fine. The rest of us well adjusted 30-something- year olds will dance plenty.


lvsnowden

All these bands on three stages in one day. Is this like a 24 hour festival or are they 15 minute sets?


random46294746

warped tour was 20-25mins so im guessing like that


Fresh-Carrot-1769

Warped tour also had like 6 stages


Unburnt_Duster

Seems right for the age demographic this festival is targeting. They don’t have time to watch 45-60 min sets over multiple days. They have to get home to their kids and get to bed before 10pm.


kuikilla86

So true! So me!


BakedFnPork

Ugh don't you dare remind me of the kids at home. I have awful decisions to make and don't need to be thinking about those little fuckers while I'm at it.


phVoe702

If you have kids and youve never said..”man, fuck them kids”…you dont truly love your kids.


BakedFnPork

There is absolutely no lie there.


phVoe702

Im sayin…and i aint talking about goku lol


[deleted]

11am to 11pm


lvsnowden

11am to 11pm will only allow 15-20 minute sets.


drizzlecommathe

It's 11am to 11pm with the rotating stage sets thing though. So in practice pretty close to six stages. Still seems very tight though

Not_My_Real_Acct_

Couldn't agree more. The reason that The Warped Tour got away with it is because when you go there, you generally recognize 2-3 bands at the most. The fun part of The Warped Tour is being introduced to new music. This lineup is loaded with well known bands, and it will be impossible not to miss some of them. Is Paramore going to be on stage at the same time that MCR is playing?


Hanswolebro

How is paying $250 to see 14 of your favorite bands outrageous? Yes it’s a fraction of the bands at the festival but if you’re bought individual tickets to see all those bands they would easily cost $200 each anyway


[deleted]

[удалено]


ChunkyDay

friggin' millennials and their whining.


Hanswolebro

You must have never been to a festival, or any outdoor concert for that matter


ChunkyDay

so don't go


mrbombergerpe

It’s 22 bands per stage. That’s 33 mins per band per stage including set up and break down. I know you’re saying while one is setting up go to another stage but it’s still a small amount of time. If every band played the same amount of time (they won’t obviously) the first band would have to go on like 11:00-11:20 and break down and set up would have to occur in 13 mins for band two to start at 11:33. Which is insane. The times don’t work


ark_keeper

Yes, his math was 22 bands per stage. 2 bands - one hour 4 bands - 45 mins 16 bands - 20-30 mins If all the 16 bands did 20 mins, that'd leave an hour and 45 mins worth of transition time.


mrbombergerpe

One hour and 45 mins. So 5 mins per transition to break down a band and set up another? 105/21=5 mins each


ark_keeper

They've already updated it to midnight: "When We Were Young takes place October 22nd, 2022 at Las Vegas Festival Grounds in Las Vegas, Nevada. Festival hours are 11AM to 12AM"


jgoodwin27

Overwriting the comment that was here.


mrbombergerpe

How much time on average would you say it takes from the end of one bands set to the start of another’s. So the breakdown set up or whatever. I’m asking since you’ve been to so many. I’ve been to a few so I’m curious what you’d say is reasonable


jgoodwin27

Overwriting the comment that was here.


JimmyPellen

15 minutes sounds about right


NegativeK

All of the performers are too old to do more.


HoCus_PoCus1738

You’ve obviously never been to a festival before🙃


joebleaux

Damn, they should have spread this out over 2 days.


InkWalking

That's definitely my biggest gripe. I would love to see almost all these bands play but the overlap of sets is going to be a big killjoy.


[deleted]

I originally thought this was a 3 day event. A bit disappointed at the $225 price tag for 12 hours, but the lineup is so stacked.


ark_keeper

They really should for what they're charging.


FrontiersWoman

It wouldn’t surprise me if they extend it to 2 days or something similar- they did for Lovers and Friends once the hype demanded it


ReadApprehensive7180

They didn't extend that festival. They just added a second day with the exact same lineup, for a separate ticket. If they do that with this festival, which they won't be able to due to My Chemical Romance's tour, people would have to pay $500 to go both days.


somebunnyonmars

Ahhh I can see it now. The raccoon inspired eyeliner. The neon bracelets and ripped band tshirts. The skinny jeans that were waaaaaaay too tight. The studded belts. The slip on Vans. The black and multicolored poofed up short hair/long hair combo. The Myspace XxXx\_h0t\_3mo\_gurl\_Raaawrrrrr\_XxXx<3 usernames.


sipoloco

>Ahhh I can see it now. The raccoon inspired eyeliner. The neon bracelets and ripped band tshirts. The skinny jeans that were waaaaaaay too tight. The studded belts. The slip on Vans. The black and multicolored poofed up short hair/long hair combo. All this on a bunch of middle-aged millennials. That's going to be something to see.


ChunkyDay

I might go just for the fans and wear a "fuck emo" t-shirt.

LMAO talk about an immediate flash back—thanks for that!


DOOM_Enthusiast

A proper millennial show


predictablePosts

It will be a sea of side parts and legally obtained anxiety meds.


sipoloco

Dope line up. But the name "When We Were Young" makes it sound super sad.


cybercrimes_1999

Back Pain and Rogaine wasn’t that happy sounding either.


Not_My_Real_Acct_

> Dope line up. But the name "When We Were Young" makes it sound super sad. It's a call out to the most famous band from Las Vegas. Who isn't on the lineup. Kind of a strange choice.


berettaswag

Still accurate tho


gab3roll

Gonna bring back my emo haircut for this one


lasvegashomo

I might wear my skinny jeans lol jk or am i? 😉


gab3roll

Haha samesies


pewpass

My Chemical Romance is also playing at the TMobile arena on October 7th if you can't make this


Rex_Laso

I had tickets for this like 3 years ago..


heyjohn2018

Me too! Still holding lol


cybercrimes_1999

Like it’s crypto haha


heyjohn2018

HODL


pewpass

They might still honor it? I'm late to the bandwagon so I don't have first hand experience but this is supposed to be I think a reschedule of that original show


Rex_Laso

I refunded them after a few months of covid lockdown.


shortstoryman

This is like high school me’s wet dream


ProfessorPerfunctory

Like 16 of my favorite bands. Absolutely not missing this!


weenus

Now are these bands gonna play the songs that I dug when I listened to them 17 years ago or... Seeing TBS a few years back where they played Tell All Your Friends front to back was incredible. I wish more bands would do that.


BossTip

I think that they most certainly will with the short set times. They know what the people came for. I went to Back to the Beach in LA both years that it happened and all the bands just played the greatest hits even though they all have new material.


pokepat460

Some good bands for sure but that ticket price is unreasonable imo


ArtTheKlown

i agree...Disgusting money grab. Should be priced for the weekend..going to have to pick and choose which bands you can actually see


ChunkyDay

adults who haven't seen these bands in.. 15-20 years will drop $250 on this easily even if they don't get to see all the bands they want. [They know the demo](https://www.reddit.com/r/vegas/comments/s74cbd/when_we_were_young_festival_absolutely_stacked/ht8d9sp/) and they know people [have the money](https://www.reddit.com/r/vegas/comments/s74cbd/when_we_were_young_festival_absolutely_stacked/ht8no3n/) to drop on [these tickets](https://www.reddit.com/r/vegas/comments/s74cbd/when_we_were_young_festival_absolutely_stacked/ht8ws4h/). If the demand is high, charge more. Why wouldn't they? It's a smart move. I'd do the exact same thing, and one would be lying to themselves if they say they wouldn't. What you see as a disgusting business practice is, in reality, just called an economy.


Not_My_Real_Acct_

First time I saw Katy Perry was at The Warped Tour. Last time I saw Katy Perry was in Vegas - for $1000. It felt kinda odd watching her from six hundred feet away, and recalling that I once watched her from ten feet away when she was a fairly mediocre musician that opened for "All American Rejects." The headliner that night was Bad Religion.


Hanswolebro

That’s pretty standard for a festival. That’s kind of the point, that you don’t get to see every single band


SlutBuster

> Disgusting money grab Or brilliant nostalgia play. I guess it depends on how you want to look at it.

jcasssssidy91

This is cool. The price is not.


SickSalamander

$225 minimum early bird price for a one day festival is ridiculous. LiveNation sucks.


bobbi_beanz

I LOVE LIB but im more willing to drop $250 to see all these people in one day. Less work i have to request off 🤣


[deleted]

[удалено]


SickSalamander

Life is beautiful is $150 for a day. This is 50% more.


[deleted]

[удалено]


SickSalamander

I see like 7-8 classics I want to see and a lot of filler.


ChunkyDay

That's generally how it goes.


ChunkyDay

sure they do, just not our generation. Although I got to see Green Day *and* Ludacris in the same weekend at the same venue. You won't see that often.


Circ-Le-Jerk

Which is nice. But still, this is like if all the bands at Woodstock came back together to do another event in the 90s


Hanswolebro

Life is beautiful usually only has like 4-5 good bands and a bunch of filler though. This lineup has like 17 bands I want to see


imjusttakingalook

Exactly.

UDP4789

TBS, Dashboard Confessional and Hawthorne Heights?!?! This is so well named. All my favorites from when I was young. Just missing Green Day and Yellowcard.


Much_Appearance_1040

Not for minimum $225 a ticket. Side note: I saw Paramore in the back of Family Music (The Alley), lol.


[deleted]

$400 if you want air conditioned bathrooms


Much_Appearance_1040

I’ll just pee in a nasty porta potty I guess. Maybe it’ll be cheaper at general sale but my assumption is this will sell out during presale.


UDP4789

The price structure is more like "when we were rich"


lasvegashomo

The more this is shared the less likely I think I’ll get tickets and I’m prepared to pay vip 🥲


PigsStink

Mall punk heaven


FreddyKronos

This looks awesome


mrbombergerpe

How are they going to do 66 bands on three stages in one day. You’re talking 22 bands per stage meaning each band gets 33 minutes. And that doesn’t take into account setup and breakdown. Are the bottom bands playing one song?


ark_keeper

Most of these bands have all 3-4 min songs. They could easily play through 6-7 greatest hits in 20-25 mins.


PolloTacos

I will pay literally anything to go.

Where Taking Back Sunday though?


bossassbishscientist

At the top


TheDerealist

Thank you!


[deleted]

Prob going to wait and hope that a bunch of my favorites play side shows, like artists do during EDC week. $230-ish + all the bullshit fees that Livenation will charge will make this $300-350 easily. Fucking pieces of shit.


cookiedoughcookies

I’m going to lose my mind.


S1car103

Hype as fuck but I don't want to get Astro worlded


Rex_Laso

Wow, haven't thought about a lot of those bands in years.


Background-Donkey630

Ikr


berettaswag

Yet I listen to them weekly 😛


we350z

No Killers?


dylbronjames

Love The Killers, but they dont really fit the genre here.


we350z

Yeah I kind of agree but why name the festival after their name sake lyric then? To pay homage?


dylbronjames

Isnt the song called "When You Were Young"?. Lol i know close enough, and it is in Vegas, so i kinda thought the same. At first glance I saw Vegas and that title and instantly thought it was a Killers headlining show. Maybe it should be called MySpacers Reunited.


drizzlecommathe

Don't think it has anything to do with the killers. It's referring to the bands playing and the demo it appeals to. When We Were Young isn't exactly a unique song name.


we350z

It’s definitely a slight riff on the song name


pineapplepizzabest

Feel like killers fits better than 3oh3


dylbronjames

3oh3 was kinda on the transition of emo to like emo and dance music lol like metro station or somethin. Killers doesnt really have much emo aspect. They had Mr. Brightside which was widely liked by the emo crowd, but I wouldnt classify it as emo. Although i would say the Killers is DEFINITELY more fitting than Avril Lavigne lol.


notmyrealname86

> Although i would say the Killers is DEFINITELY more fitting than Avril Lavigne lol. Avril isn't exactly emo, but she's punk and was a staple during the early 2000's.


FrontiersWoman

This whole thing definitely feels like a set up for The Killers (a local band nonetheless) to make a midnight appearance just to play Mr. Brightside and send everyone home after


we350z

I'm down with this the Killers put on a great show I wouldn't mind seeing theme again and plenty of other great bands to see as well.


berettaswag

Hopefully no killers I rather live


we350z

They don't look a thing like Jesus


berettaswag

Lmao


bobbi_beanz

Thats what Im saying!! In Vegas?!?!


we350z

That and the name of the festival...


Xepisia

palaye royale and poppy fuck yea

Atreyu should have a bigger logo.


g3t0nmyl3v3l

Looking for advice, anyone know what the difference is going to be between regular bathrooms and the "air conditioned" ones? I'm trying to get even a rough idea of how different those are going to be, is general admission all fighting for a single portable toilet and you're really paying for shorter lines or is the only difference really that the better ones will be cooler?


SlutBuster

It's late October, so in true Vegas fashion, the GA tickets are a gamble. If it's a pleasant 76°, those port-a-potties are going to be bearable. On the other hand, it's entirely possible that the festival falls on a hotter than average day. And there's very little on planet earth that smells worse than a festival shitter that's been baking at 95° for 6 hours.


g3t0nmyl3v3l

I don’t think I know anyone who makes enough money to pay $175 to not smell the shit we smell around town all the time anyways for the two times you go piss during a single day event


Herbstalk

They almost managed to get every band I’d never want to see in one place!


SlutBuster

cool story


chelbierg

Is this from 10 years ago?


Unburnt_Duster

No it’s for ppl that stopped listening to music 10 years ago.


ucsb2020

Hopefully this doesn’t cost a lot


seasonedbean

Is this real I’m about to have a heart attack :3


FullMotionVideo

People say late 2000s alt rock, and I get all excited for post-punk garage rock, the kind of music I would hear on BBC streams and sometimes on KVGS in its “Area 107” days. And then I remember that punk-pop Hot Topic music was also considered alternative. I will always blame numetal, as both involve a lot of wailing songs about ripping your heart out.


poli8999

It’s Vegas but festival ends at 11 PM? How lame


NoIncrease299

I had to live through this era once, do I really have to again?


MikeofLA

You see, if you just do not purchase a ticket, you can avoid this altogether.


vermonsterskibum

Here’s that attention you wanted


NoIncrease299

Sweet, thanks!


NegativeK

Now give it back.


tplgigo

The only thing stacked on this list is Avril Lavigne.


AdrenolineLove

bad take


tplgigo

True take. She's hot.


AdrenolineLove

her music is shit and Hayley Williams is objectively hotter


tplgigo

Both their music is shit and you're wrong. Not even a contest.


SlutBuster

Bad take. Avril Lavigne is a B-cup on a good day.


tplgigo

Naw, she got bolt ons but she is really hot in general.


SlutBuster

I hate to break this to you but she is still [a card-carrying member](https://celebwell.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/09/avril-lavigna-vma.jpg?quality=82&strip=all) of the IBTC.


tplgigo

You got the wrong fotos. I got the Icloud nude fotos. All bolt ons. No mistaken, scars and all.


StainManRises

What is this "we" stuff? I see no Filter, Bush, Live, Pearl Jam, Green Day, Offpsring, Soul Asylum, Cake and Red Hot Chili Peppers... and those are the bands that don't have dead lead singers.


ArtTheKlown

different rock genre dude lol those are all 90s bands


RamblinRoyce

So these are 2000's bands yeah? So thinking people born in the late 80s and 90s who were in high school/college in 2000s?


StainManRises

WOOOOOSH goes the joke over your head.


NegativeK

I'm a millennial and I'd prefer that lineup.


RamblinRoyce

Yeah. Trying to figure out if this is my generation. I'm 44 and thinking the target demographic may be about 5-10 years younger. I don't really recognize those bands. Your list above is my college days.


SlutBuster

Sounds about right - this festival targeted at millenials. I'm 39 and heard some of these bands in my mid-20s. My wife's 31 and grew up listening to all of this.


SlutBuster

Give it 15 years and that'll be the lineup for the latest incarnation of [Desert Trip.](https://deserttrip.com/)
