So Victory has a handful of pop punk bands on its roster now (Abandoned By Bears, Broadside, Carousel Kings, Save The Lost Boys).
They haven't really done too much since that TWY show. Recent memory all I can remember was a Major League show and an Aaron West show. The upcoming Waterparks / TCCT tour is going there (and open to the public as first come first served day of, which I think is kind of stupid imo) so I'm curious to see how that will go over because it really is a great space!
Yeah that's odd. I doubt many outside people would go to Waterparks. I think the one thing UNH should give to MEISA or whoever is still in the music department is the budget for the Spring concert. I remember I was there for Third Eye Blind/Trapt/Trey Songz in 08 with Bo Burnham as the comedian. Also there for Cobra Starship/3Oh!3 in 09. I just saw that Andy Grammer and Todrick Hall performed last year and the comedian was Aidy Bryant. That's a little bit of a dropoff in my opinion. I think that either Quinnipiac or Southern booked Jim Norton last year. Spend the money UNH!
Dropkick Murphys has a new album out today. Anyone think they might be a band that comes back and does it? EDIT: You Me at Six also has a record out today.
They had wtk in 2015 students only, last year had real big fish I heard no one really showed up was students only Forgot the year but had al4w a few years ago
I wish my school had shows like that. I remember they tried to get The Starting Line but they wanted more than we had in the budget. Then again, I went to a school that only had about 6,000 kids.
Yes! I forgot about AL4W. I think they were there my final year in 2011 headlining a show with a popular main support (I forgot who) and then they came back in 2014. Sucks no one showed up for RBF. They always put on an amazing show.
Jag from A Skylit Drive commented on Craig Mabbitt's (Escape the Fate/Dead Rabbitts) Instagram the other day seeing "cant wait for next summer man!" I'd assume they are talking about Warped.
Do we all think All Time Low is really too big for a full run? They will always be billed below on ADTR if touring together, I don't think they will ever make the jump to being a "radio band" considering they've tried.
That's a great question. If ADTR and BMTH are first tiered scene bands, I can put ATL on the 2nd tier with Pierce the Veil. They can both sell out 3,000 person venues each night but they need solid support to do it. I think they can be the unofficial headliner (like Sum 41 last year) and can draw a great crowd every night. I think if they played Warped and played anytime before 5 or 6pm, I can see a quarter of the crowd leaving.
I am not sure ATL and PTV are on the same level. ATL has been consistently playing smaller arenas. I don't think PTV is quite there yet.
You may be right but ATL's last headliner had SWS on it (while they were a gigantic band). PTV's last run were small club dates on purpose (around 1,000 in capacity) and they sold those dates out almost instantly. I'm sure opening on Blink's tour helped them out immensely but I still think they're both on the same level (maybe with PTV a step down but not on a 3rd tier level).
That would be cool. ASD hasn't posted on Facebook since last July. I was thinking maybe they were done.
Bayside has tour in May (a MA date leaked in a different thread). I think it's safe to count them out this summer?
What about Direct Hit!? They are on tour with Reel Big Fish and Anti-Flag now and they just got announced for Bowling For Soup's upcoming headliner. They could be this year's Masked Intruder/Teenage Bottlerocket.
ATL have a tour around warped tours time so I would say the chances of them doing anything warped related are very minimal
Pierce the Veil has a spring tour with Falling in Reverse and Crown the Empire that's hitting B and C markets. Are we definitely sure that PTV would be too big to do Warped again at this point?
I'm like 90 percent sure that they didn't sell out the 1400 capacity venue they headlined in Portland on their tour with Neck Deep/I Prevail. I mean I know that different markets vary, but I'd say the odds of them doing Warped is still there.
Yeah I don't feel like PTV is too big for Warped. They did it in 2015 and I don't think they have gotten any bigger since then, have they?
