Might be a silly question but I was wondering if Xylobands from previous concerts can still work if taken to any future shows? I managed to collect a few from my last concert and was wanting to wear them if/when I get to see the tour again.

Depends what era they are from. Mylo Xyloto era bands won't light up, but AHFOD era ones should.

yeah, i would think that as long as they are from this era they should work. i brought my Xyloband from Lincoln Financial Field when i went to Made In America and it lit up. :D

Xyloband 1.0 wristbands will not work with Xyloband 2.0 controllers, and vice versa.

 

 

Xyloband 1.0 wristbands were used during the MX tour, while Xyloband 2.0 wristbands are currently being used on the AHFOD tour.

 

They both use different technologies, and as far as I know, use different radio frequencies so this would be impossible.

 

 

If you have any Xyloband 2.0 wristbands laying around, you might be able to use those. As long as they aren't lit up, the battery will last for up to 2 weeks.

Yes because they are both Xyloband 2.0 wristbands.

 

Since the Made In America festival was within 2 weeks of the show at Lincoln Field, the batteries in your wristbands didn't die. After 2-3 weeks, the battery runs out, and you have to open the wristband to get it replaced, which wasn't hard to get open, but replacing the battery requires a lot of work.

Made in America was four weeks after, but good point. didn't think about the battery. :)

I was just going by Xylobands' website. They said after 2-4 weeks in "sleep mode", the wristband runs out of battery. Otherwise, it is 19-24 hours if lit up constantly.

So I just took one of these apart, and replacing the batteries is actually super easy, for whatever it's worth. There are three, and they are readily available, they just slide right out and in. At least one of my batteries is still good, but I'm not sure which show this band came from (anywhere from July 16 to Sept. 4). I can jump from that battery to either the base lights or strap lights and make them blue, green or red. Jumping from the other batteries (it's two smaller batteries in series) does nothing, so I'm not sure if they're dead or I'm just not doing it right. Will play with my other three bands later. I'm fairly impressed with how serviceable these are. The lights in the base are on a flexible PCB that can be unplugged and the strap can be unplugged as well. I wonder if when they collect these after the gigs (the recycle boxes) they actually refurbish them.

Which kind of Xylobands are you talking about?

The white version (SA - NA) or the colored one like this:

Oops, sorry, meant to specify ... the white ones. Sadly I don't have any colored ones to round out my collection. I have two MX-era ones and four white ones, plus an extra broken white one I picked up off the ground at MIA.
