The annual ‘When We Were Young‘ festival in Las Vegas, NV has once again come and gone, having been staged at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds this past weekend. While fans who attended likely went home with fond memories of headlining sets by the likes of My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, and more, onlookers from the internet were most likely to remember the glaring typos of band names on official merch from the fest.
The Live Nation Entertainment-backed event, which draws heavily on emo and pop-punk nostalgia each year, released several different official shirt designs touting the roster for this year’s festival, several of which were plagued with band name typos. One band whose named was botched on at least one of the prints was platinum-certified Floridian pop-punkers New Found Glory, who were featured as ‘New And Glory’.
Not content to let an opportunity to go to waste, the group have since released a limited run of shirts featuring that typo, which you can pick up now via newfoundglorystuff.com. The band stated of this launch:
“If you know you know! The festival merch this weekend “renamed” a bunch of bands which was good for a ton of laughs. And ya know what? We liked ours so much we’re considering just changing our band name. For a limited time test run, here’s our first New And Glory T-Shirt.”
