Long Island emo mainstays Taking Back Sunday last graced Vegas with their presence just a few short weeks ago as headliners of the annual Extreme Thing Sports and Music Festival. Apparently they enjoyed themselves because the quintet is already coming back – and this time it’s for free.
The May 16 show is part of the Zappos Rideshop Series and features a skateboard competition and live music from Mini Death, Idlehands and Taking Back Sunday. Taking Back Sunday will also be signing autographs before the show, giving all you graphology enthusiasts out there reason to cheer.
According to Zappos:
“We’re taking over the corner of Fremont Street and Las Vegas Boulevard for a casual and Vegas-style street skateboarding contest with some of your favorite invited pros and ams. From Chris Haslam to Daewon Song to a large part of the DC crew to locals in Vegas like PIP hanging out and skating, it’s going to be one ripping day in the desert. Things get going at 4pm, with the Contest starting at 6pm, along with live music entertainment. Taking Back Sunday is performing with Mini Death and Idlehands. Afterwards, we’ll see you at The Griffin, Sean Eaton’s bar down the street. Damn, what a day and night that’s going to be??? It’s wide open for all ages and completely free, too. I hope to see you there.”
