Make Them Suffer I would say is a lock. I'd be surprised if they didn't play. I feel like a no from TAIM. Born Of Osiris is likely, and I could see Within The Ruins going too. As for Aversion's Crown and Lorna Shore, I'd say no. They seem more Summer Slaughter oriented. I think we could see some deathcore underdogs playing this year. I can also see UABB playing.
Like Moths to Flames and Sworn In are doing a short co-headliner in B and C markets that ends in March, with support from My Enemies & I, Cover Your Tracks, and Backwordz. That probably seems likely for Warped, right?
As a touring band it seems ludicrous to have a five band bill from a business perspective. Especially with no name openers who aren't going to draw anyways. That would 1. cut into the guarantee of the headliner 2. be more of a logistical burden 3. take away merch sales from the few acts on the bill that actually draw people. Band always complain about losing money on the road, but continue to take out too many openers. And the show is too fucking long!
4 band bills make the most logical sense for bands and fans Also anyone have thoughts on Deaf Havana playing? They're due for finally doing more than one tour in the states
4th of July seems like the absolute worst idea to add a date for. I wouldn't be surprised if the number of people is lower than usual. People will probably have other plans and/or not want to deal with 4th of July traffic + Warped traffic. But hey what do I know.
wilimington got alot of good shows in 2013-2015. Didn't really hear of many down there in 2016. depending on the venue, it might do well.
In year's past, from what I've seen, the 4th of July is usually a day off for the tour, but the past couple of years they've booked dates that day.
So were counting out the following for a full run: Architects ADTR Hatebreed Comeback Kid OM&M TDWP MIW Northlane Chelsea Grin Crown the Empire Touche Amore
I guess I'm spoiled being Canadian since they come through all the time. I think I saw them 3 times in 2016.
It was awhile ago, I'm not sure I remember exactly what Jeremy said. It makes sense though, the band just doesn't agree with a lot of the ethics I'm assuming
That list isn't too surprising. Architects and Northlane are the only ones I thought could do full runs. I still wouldn't rule out OM&M, Hatebreed, or TDWP for a partial run.
Wage War is on again this year according to someone in my local music scene. Something about they did Warped last year on the tail end of their cycle for Blueprints, and they want to start off at the start for their new album.
