Vigil had said him and the guys is out. They most likely won't be in shape by June. So, that eliminates the one band that people had been swearing in last March.
I was watching a live feed Matt had on Instagram and someone asked him if they were going to Warped and he said no :(
I know, but the band even said they'll be releasing a new album and touring a bit this year. I still think it's possible.
I would personally love to see them try and grab a few bands who are right on the cusp of being a "Warped" band and not being associated with that scene. For instance, Turnover and Sorority Noise are two bands I think could really benefit from doing the tour.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: after Mother Feather was on, no one should come as a surprise or not fit for Warped to anyone. Citizen wouldn't surprise me. Oh and as far as Vigil saying no to TGI this year, I see two sides to this. Lyman said the spot is always open when they are better, I think he and everyone else thought 2017 was the year. But also Vigil could just be trying to throw people off. Do you know how many times Knuckle Puck has said point blank they weren't on and then they actually were? Edit: I know that people have varying opinions on the tour rumors account, but it's worth noting that he said in a stream that As It Is, Neck Deep, and Blessthefall were all on.
I know the number keeps rising, but I will also toss Lionize into the ring now as a possible band. They just signed to a new record label and announced they will be releasing a new album this year. They did the tour in 2011 and 2014.
blessthefall seem to enjoy it, they played 2012, 2013, 2015 that I know for sure & they have always had a big crowd in VA Beach. Also with them working heavily on a new album to probably be released late summer/early fall - seems likely they'll be promoting it as they did in 2013 with Hollow Bodies & 2015 with To Those Left Behind
Trash Boat and Anti-Flag are the ones I most expected to play Warped. Granted, it's a 4 day fest so it's still possible a band or two on there could play both. Plus there usually seems to be few bands who don't do the last 2 or 3 dates of Warped for one reason or another. So we'll see.
Ah, I didn't even think about that. My NFG show is one of the first on the tour. I forgot how long it runs.
I can tell you they won't. "a bit" doesn't mean a 3 month tour away from steady jobs and families plus they'd be in a van anyway. They won't be on it and feel free to quote me on that They had terrible crowds on 2015 most days but they love it enough to keep coming back if you catch my drift ;)
I did in a low key way before here. I can't picture them crossing over going over very well expecially with the last record bombing I'm anxious as to if they'll be main or monster
They were already confirmed in here, but I thought with adding them along with AII and Neck Deep that people would be more willing to accept the whole tour rumors saying that AII and ND were on.
I wouldn't totally count out any bands just because they're touring into May. Last year State Champs did two spring tours, the second of which ran through May. I would guess that With Confidence might be on Poseidon/Cyclops this year.
Any chance NFG is on again? I know their 20 year tour runs until May, but that hits smaller clubs. They're putting out a new album and are gonna want to tour on that over the summer, but another nationwide headliner would seem a bit strange right after the 20 years tour. They announced european 20 year tour dates, and they're well after the summer ends, so the warped block is open.
