scottheisel Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 I bought a 3-day VIP pass. Who else is going? Bronchitis and N8TRU 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronchitis Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I bought a 3 day VIP pass too. I’ve seen most of the bands there that I want to see one or more times but couldn’t pass this up. Never thought Jesus Lizard would play again and have never had the chance to see Cap’n Jazz or Dismemberment Plan. Wish it wasn’t in Vegas, but oh well. It should be a great time.

Sad Heart Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Bought the 3 day tickets when they went live. Dragging my wife along. So stoked for this festival. This is a dream line up. Was tempted to get VIP, but given I’m coming from VA I opted to save a little with regular tickets. I honestly thought the flyer was one of those “dream line-up” made by a fan type of things, then realized it was real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sad Heart Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 No overlapping bands in the lineup so you don’t have to play ‘who to miss’. Bronchitis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottheisel Posted March 6 Author Share Posted March 6 I am stunned they are already announcing the single-day lineups and putting single-day tickets on sale so early. Like, this is still seven months away. That tells me they probably didn't sell nearly as many three-day passes as they were hoping for in the past week...

One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 The lineup is amazing in my eyes BUT can any of these bands headline a venue over 1,000 people? luckily I’ve seen most of these bands at riot fest in recent years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, all three of those bands are playing the pop-punk fest in Vegas the following weekend, lol. The only other band I can think of with that level of name recognition from that time would be At The Drive-In, but they're currently back-burnered while Cedric and Omar do the Mars Volta again. They're trying to sell this fest like it's some debaucherous thing, offering unlimited-alcohol upgrades and $8000 "VIP cabanas" and shit, and I'm like, dude, I just wanna watch Karate and Rainer Maria in peace.

With club after shows spread across the weekend Different promoters and different venues. WWWY is Live Nation and on the strip. BFF is S&S (an indie promoter from Utah who most notably does the Kilby Block Party) and downtown Vegas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
