I would love this so much but he'd only do a partial run this year, if any. He has some summer festivals already scheduled. I can't honestly predict a rapper to play. MGK is over in Europe until early July, I could see a partial run from him.
Would Lyman bust out the money for someone like G-Easy? Someone with a recent mainstream radio hit that'll draw a huge crowd.
G-Eazy was selling out amphitheaters last summer so I doubt that. If I had to name some rappers that have a good name for themselves, but aren't too big, I could see Hopsin, Dizzy Wright, Logic (maybe too big), Futuristic. But I don't know for sure.
Ooh. They hadn't passed my mind. Tyler would have a good draw. I don't know what he's been up to lately.
I had never heard of him before. He's one of the So What?! headliners. Isn't he on a new Volumes song too?
Yeah he is, he's pretty popular in the "underground" rap scene, and I can see him drawing well at Warped. I could also see Yung Yogi (Gus from Volumes's solo rap project) playing.
I'd love for that. I dig his music. I could also see someone like Mac Lethal doing the tour. I don't think so. When O.F. tours they sell out venues like House Of Blues and so do bands like PTV who have played in recent years. The redeeming thing for an artist like Tyler is that Warped isn't a primarily hip hop festival so it'd be less likely for him to be 'too big'.
I just asked you about FFAK but what about ATB? Are we adding them because their song was on a Warped video?
I don't even think Tyler would want to, even he probably thinks he's too big for something like Warped.
Alright well I tweeted Watsky asking about Warped and he said "there's always a chance" and then promptly deleted the tweet so who knows if it means anything but
I could see someone like nf playing. He is selling out several small venues similar to the pageant in St. Louis and mingle wood hall in Memphis so selling out at about 500-1500 capacity. I'd say that he has a chance to play side stage
I think Alternative Press is announcing their new cover artist in the next day or two. I wouldn't be surprised if there's some Warped info in the new issue.
