THE VIBE
Stage
Fair-weather Festivals
Just as summer festival season is wrapping up around the country, October
means it’s getting started in Las Vegas. So, grab your patched-up denim
jacket, friendship bracelets, clear fanny pack, and get those heart hands
ready to spread the love as you sip on hard seltzer and watch band after
band take these stages around town.
The emo-pop-punk fest When We Were Young at the Las Vegas
Festival Grounds (October 19 and 20) takes its third turn in the city with
the same lineup on both days. While My Chemical Romance headlines
with their Black Parade album, you’ll be delighted with other favorites
from the genre, such as Saves the Day, Fall Out Boy, The All-American
Rejects, and Dashboard Confessional, among dozens more.
Downtown Las Vegas Events Center, across from The D, hosts
back-to-back festival weekends: Reggae Rise Up October 4–7 and Best
Friends October 11–13. At Reggae Rise Up, get ready for a packed schedule
with three full days of music, food, merchandise, art, activities, and good
vibes at this all-ages event, offering multi-day, single-day, and VIP cabana
tickets. The inaugural Best Friends Forever Festival roster is stacked
with emo and indie bands. Pick your playlist and hit the pavement for the
most musical bang for your buck on the festival circuit. ticketmaster.com
