Best Friends Forever turns your emo youth into an epic weekend long festival in Las Vegas!

Returning for its second year, Best Friends Forever Fest is set to take your circa 2003 Myspace playlist to multiple stages in Downtown Las Vegas this October!

Bringing together a lineup of indie and emo bands, the nostalgia might not get any crazier than this! Headliners will include Jawbreaker, Minus The Bear performing their Menos El Oso album, Jimmy Eat World who have promised a unique set of deep tracks for this show, and Rilo Kiley.

Organized by the same team who puts on Salt Lake City’s annual Kilby Block Party, Best Friends Forever mixes some big names of indie nostalgia with some of the standout current bands in the scene such as awakebutstillinbed and Oakwood.

The fest takes place across two stages staggered so that there are no overlapping sets. This year’s BFFF will take place October 10th-12th at the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center.
