I doubt they'd do Warped. I think they're just like Alexisonfire in the sense that they had a great fanbase everywhere except for the US.
Both parties would be smart to just avoid that possibility. No musicians in this scene like him anymore and it would be bad business for Warped.
If he was smart he wouldn't have tried to rejump his career. And if Kevin was smart he wouldn't have let him play that one day. I don't think we can rule out any stunt here.
Not really a Get Scared fan, but he was in the band for like 6 months 5 years ago. As bad as his actions are, I really don't think the rest of the band should take any blame here.
this gets me thinking, stitched up heart maybe? I woulda much rather had them do warped when they were heavier but possibility?
I don't care for Black Veil Brides but I hope they play just to sell tickets this year. They'd probably be the biggest draw of any of the bands still in the running to play.
I'd say PTV for most realistic bands. Obviously BMTH or ADTR if they ever played a full or majority run.
I've been using Spotify listeners to kinda get an idea of a band's current relevance. Facebook likes are hit or miss because in the case of a lot of older bands in the Warped scene, a lot can be from people who liked it years ago and now have little to no interest in a band. For example Alesana has 2.5 million likes, but that certainly isn't representative of their draw in 2017. On the other hand, a huge newer band like State Champs only has 179,000.
Kevin said on Twitter that the lineup will be announced on March 22nd. I wasn't sure if that was known already or not. He also said they are "working on a speaking stage open mic stage idea." That sounds intriguing.
