More and more music festivals are debuting in Las Vegas

Sunny Day Real Estate was one of three headliners for the brand new Best Friends Forever festival in downtown this past weekend, which is part of the ever-expanding music fest calendar in Las Vegas.

That trend is flying in the face of a pretty dismal year for music festivals nationally, with low attendance, cancellations and booking issues being reported.

Another festival hits the city this weekend: When We Were Young, celebrating all things early-aughts emo and pop punk.
