I almost put Tiny Moving Parts on my list, but wasn't sure if the band would be into doing Warped or not. They seemed like the odd man out when I saw them on the TWY/Letlive tour this year. They were great, but the crowd didn't seem into it at all. At least compared to the rest of the lineup.
Im looking at your lists for next year... and honestly - even free.... It's just too long for me now.... I could sit in the parents tent all day, or be productive at home. My wife said it best: Next year is a drop off :/ Now, if theres some bands, from way back that Id like to hear for 30 minutes... well, things change.
Hopefully they pull out some surprises. I always keep my fingers crossed for some older bands. What exactly are you hoping for. I maybe able to throw some similar recommendations from newer bands. I'm not overly excited about next year as of now.
Every year, I say the next year's lineup won't be that good, and every year, I wind up buying tickets...
Alternative Press snapchat posted it but it's really difficult to read. I can read the Monster Stages really clearly it everything else is either readable kind of or really blurry.

I was looking at the journeys stages from last year, for bands that could be main stage level next year I could see Neck Deep New Years Day Those are the two for sure. The ones below could be a stretch As It Is Citizen This Wild Life
I dont know what Im looking for.... I saw the bands this year on other stages, with big crowds.... lots of yelling/screaming... Well, to me, I call it that. I liked reel big fish. I liked sum 41.. I liked the parents tent. Wish they had beer. :)
Trying to think of some ska bands that could be on next year, the one I have seen people on here predicting: Big D & The Kids Table haven't played since 2013. Older bands that seem possible that people have mentioned are Taking Back Sunday and Bowling for Soup.
Here's a long write up not many people will care about! I went to Pittsburgh yesterday and had a great time! My worst nightmare conflict happened of Sum 41 and ETID, which was a huge bummer but I had to go with Sum 41 since I've never seen them. Masked Intruder and NFG also conflicted which was a bummer, but I'm going Wednesday as well so I'll catch ETID and Masked Intruder there for sure. Watched a few Silent Planet songs when I got in, my boss manages them and they got me into the show so I felt like I had too. Not many people watching them (since they played 15 mins after doors) but they sounded great from what I saw. Started my day off with NFG which kind of sucked since there weren't that many people there yet. No one even moved during Understatement, but they still killed it and I'm glad I got to see them. Real Friends played right after they did and were so awful. They sounded bad, had barely any energy and the crowd wasn't really into it. Definitely skipping them on Wednesday. Watched Reel Big Fish after which was kind of fun, but definitely another set I don't have to see since I'm sure their set will be word for word the same exact thing. Also thought it was weird how much time they wasted with covers and S.R. instead of playing more songs. After that I bought the NFG book and got it signed by them and they were all really nice good dudes so I'm happy I got to do that. I took the book to my car and made it back in just in time to catch the full Knuckle Puck set. They were solid. I definitely prefer seeing them in a smaller setting though. Went back over to main and ended up seeing We The Kings last song which was Check Yes Juliet so I was kind of happy to see that. After that I caught the first couple The Maine songs and they sounded great, I'll probably try catching their whole set on Wednesdsay. Then I went to the Monster tent to cool off and hyrdrate(?) before LTJ went on. Saw the full LTJ set and as expected it was probably my favorite. Even if you don't like them I can't imagine not having a great time seeing them. Their set was great and they were a ton of fun. TSSF played right after and sounded the worst I've ever seen them. Parkers vocals were way off, and the guitars were way out of tune. I watched the whole set but I couldn't believe how bad they sounded and how boring their stage presence was. Their setlist was solid though, don't understand why they love All Wrong so much. After that I had a good amount of down time, so I relaxed, walked around a bit and got some merch. I caught some of The Interrupters and Teenage Bottlerocket and really enjoyed both. I went back over to the main stage around 5 and caught about half of Mayday's set who also sounded great and if I can I'm definitely going to check out their full set on Wednesday too. Then Pepper played after and I decided to hangout after Mayday and wait for State Champs so I heard practically their whole set which wasn't terrible but also not too enjoyable. 6-8 was nonstop bands for me on the main stages. I caught State Champs, Sum 41, FYS and Yellowcard all back to back. State Champs was great and easily one of my favorite sets of the day as was Sum 41. The crowdsurfing during Sum 41 was unbearable but they were so good and I was so happy I got to see them. They only played the hits, I was bummed we didn't get Motivation or Summer or anything. FYS was solid as always but nothing too special and Yellowcard was super boring. I don't understand how they've just been playing the same set on Warped the past couple years, I'm probably not gonna be able to make it out for the farewell tour since it's far away but I hope they have some good deep cuts and play at least some of Southern Air or WYTTSY. Top bands: NFG, LTJ, State Champs, Sum 41 and FYS Least favorite that I wanted to see: Real Friends, TSSF, Yellowcard Bands I need to see Wednesday: ETID, Masked Intruder, Good Charlotte, LTJ, NFG, State Champs, Sum 41 Bands I want to see Wednesday: Mayday Parade, The Maine, Teenage Bottlerocket, The Interrupters, Old Wounds, Safe To Say, Like Pacific, Cruel Hand, Vanna, Capsize.
Parker had the best stage presence I've seen in my entire three years of catching TSSF shows. Moved around more during one song than he had entire shows before.
A member of a band that I hung out with for a little while in Orlando said that The Story So Far is one of his favorite shows to watch during the day. He tried to convince us to stay to see them but we were pretty exhausted.
Pretty successful day in Columbia, it rained for the second year in a row, but I caught *most* of the sets I wanted to, here's who I saw(I would post the schedule but someone already did)excluding bands I just saw in passing or caught the end of while waiting for someone else: We The Kings Real Friends (partial) Knuckle Puck Mayday Parade State Champs Four Year Strong Broadside Emarosa The Maine The Story So Far I also suffered through Falling in Reverse in between The Maine and TSSF, it was fucking horrible.
Finally finished with Warped date #2. Here's who I saw: 7/6 Virginia Beach: Yellowcard Mayday Parade Tonight Alive We The Kings Sleeping With Sirens Sum 41 Issues The Maine Four Year Strong Set It Off Real Friends New Found Glory State Champs 7/16 Columbia: We The Kings Real Friends Knuckle Puck Tonight Alive New Found Glory State Champs Yellowcard Four Year Strong Young Guns Against The Current Emarosa Sykes Waterparks I'm way too tired to do a write-up of any kind, but it was a lot of fun.
went Thursday 7/14. Saw following bands: The Word Alive Chelsea Grin Whitechapel Real Friends Every Time I Die Ballyhoo (partial while waiting for next band) Knuckle Puck We the Kings (partial while waiting for next band) The Maine Sum 41 Issues (partial) Veil of Maya (partial) New Found Glory Chunk! No, Captain Chunk! Yellowcard I wanted to see Emarosa but they were one of the first bands on and our rally bus driver was stupid and caused us to take far longer than necessary to get to the venue, but all the bands I saw were tight
