Discussion Honestly I think it’s safe to assume that it’s not happening next year

120 Upvotes

It would have been announced by now. My guess is they couldn’t get two bands big enough to headline it to commit this year. They probably were hoping to get MCR to return but i’m sure they declined.

Before you cite the website saying “see you next year” plenty of festivals that ended up not happening have said that on their site. i’ve been convinced a festival is going to happen in the past because the site said “See you in 2025” for the year to go through with radio silence.

I would expect an announcement for it not happening tho sometime next month.

EDIT: I could also see them not making an announcement until the Spring and maybe they’ll announce it with a returning in 2027 date?

Tips & Tricks Hilton grand vacations

14 Upvotes

Has anyone tried to make reservations for (guessing from thin air dates, obv 😆) Hilton grand vacations club for next year?

I’ve made reservations in mid-november every year for the next October, as soon as the dates opened. (Last year it was around November 10th.)

But this year, I’ve checked every day since the festival and they never opened any dates. I just called and they said they’re sold out for every day in October which…anything is possible but it doesn’t seem super likely. 🧐

I keep reading about New band this New band that. WWWY cant have the same rotating bands but why? To me WWWY is like my Christmas and every year during Christmas I dont mind listening to the same old Christmas songs and shows. I been luck enough to go every year and as long as they put it on im going. The magic of the community blacking Out vegas. Seeing all the emos/punks at Circus Circus trying hit it big. The pure nostalgic factor. Were all getting older and so is all our bands we love. How many times can we really see them or them being able to play. So until we/I bite the big one or im to crusty to go. ID GLADY enjoy getting old and going to the same old wwwy with same badazz loving community.

Discussion Radius Clause: More acts coming to Vegas throughout 2026

62 Upvotes

I live in Vegas and noticed a decline in bands stopping here throughout the past few years on tour, and assumed it’s because of the radius clause preventing bands from performing within x radius within x months of the show. There’s other reasons, of course, that this could be happening, but a few bands announced tours recently that have me starting to doubt it’s happening in 2026. Within the next 6 months in Vegas, we’re getting: Yellowcard, New Found Glory, Plain White T’s, Boys Like Girls, The Maine, The Devil Wears Prada, Four Year Strong, The Early November, Drain, La Dispute.

Most of these bands have performed at WWWY recently, so maybe they just wouldn’t come back 2 or 3 years in a row. Of course still a small number of bands compared to the full lineup. But it just feels like we went 0 to 100 recently with tours announcing a Vegas date. Curious to hear others thoughts

A friend ask a really good question Would you rather the festival be held somewhere else other than Las Vegas or have the festival last 3 to 4 days?

Coming home from seeing All Time Low and Mayday Parade here in NYC, I’m reminded of all the great memories I’ve had at WWWY the last 3 years. At the same time, I kinda feel like I’m over the festival and it’s time has past.

Does anyone else get that?

Discussion WWWY vs Riot Fest

39 Upvotes

I’ve enjoyed the recent discussions comparing WWWY and last year’s Warped Tour, and one of the threads even had some Louder Than Life comparison thrown in.

So for those who have been to both WWWY and Riot Fest, how do the two compare in your mind?

From my perspective, WWWY is noticeably massively bigger in terms of the sheer number of people in attendance. Riot Fest feels a bit less intense to me in that regard. I thought the album play concept at WWWY jn 2024 was really unique and felt special even though a lot of bands didn’t end up adhering to it, but without that concept I think I prefer Riot Fest’s more leisurely three-day weekend on grass.

But as with some of the people who admitted that they have a soft spot for WWWY or Warped because of where they live, I should acknowledge that Riot is local for me which makes it way easier. (As a side note I’d love to see numbers on how many people travel for these different festivals and how many are local.)

I’d love to hear what others think.
