These names suck! Hopefully there are way better bands to come!!
No one wants to sign up for a free show outdoors in a Vegas summer in 90 degree heat. Ann Wilson sweating her ass off last summer was not a pretty sight.
More like 100 degrees at night in the summer… and with all those people it’s even hotter. Not fun anymore like it used to be in 2011 when they started the free concert series.
90? Try like 105-110, but if you get hot just walk into one of the air conditioned casinos that are right by (that’s what I do). Fremont Street is just fun all around anyway.
I want Tyler James and the Memphis Experience back . They were great and Tyler is an award winning ETA
It’s a waste of time to go down to Fremont Street anymore with free concerts. Tons and tons of people packed in like sardines near the stage and beyond. Families with kids and baby strollers knocking into you, pushing and shoving. Last show I went to was Joan Jett 2 summers ago. Never again!!!! The Cult is the only show I would want to see and that is just going to be too crazy packed for me…
im in for ratt.
I hope to see The Cult’s show. July 14 in Vegas, even at night it’ll be scorching hot!
I’ve gone to several the past few years, but unless the 2 TBA’s are awesome, don’t think I’ll go downtown this summer. I’ve been lucky to get there early for a couple shows when they hand out the VIP’s (Theory of a Deadman 2015, Seether 2017). Got there a little before concert started for 3 Doors Down a few years ago, and it was just too packed to be able to enjoy the concert. Drunk idiots spilling beer all over the place, everyone and their mother walking in front of me to get to the other side….
Does anyone know when the announcement will be made for June 9th?
I just seen The band Lit announced they are playing on the 9th.
Thank you!
