Photos: Phase Fest was the emo night of your dreams
Phase Fest
Legends Field
Friday, June 16
On Friday, June 16, Kansas City got a miniature version of Las Vegas’ When We Were Young festival, with the Phase Fest at Legends Field. Proving its tagline of “it’s not just a phase” true, youngsters not even born when some of these bands first had hits sang along right next to folks with more than a touch of grey in their hair. The All-American Rejects, Dashboard Confessional, Story Of The Year, Plain White T’s, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, and The Ataris all brought their versions of emotional pop-punk to bear on the crowd.
