I really wish the Milwaukee date wasn't two days after Chicago. I doubt I'll go to two dates just for that reason.
Yep, my date is definitely at BB&T Pavilion again. It's now saying Camden, NJ instead of Philadelphia.
I don't live in Salem, one of the outlying small towns. Probably about a 20-30 minute drive for me to get into town.
Honestly happy Warped isn't at the Expo center and Salem isn't much further than Columbia Meadows used to be back in the day. I've never been to the fairgrounds, but if it's in a huge grassy field again I'll be very happy. Might actually go to Seattle too CenturyLink is a much better location than Auburn.

I found it odd that some of the venues aren't listed for the dates. I mean how many possible venues would there be for Warped in Salem, OR? Maybe legally the contracts aren't 100% done.
Skullcandy has a stage this year. Just saw a video advertising the chance for bands to play the Skullcandy Stage
Ah, is the area bigger than the expo center? My main issue with the expo center is that is felt cramped at times.
It could be, depends on if they use the facilities already there (amphitheater, pavilion, and armory on site that have all held concerts in recent memory) or if they just shove everything onto the pavement and call it good.
I don’t pop in to comment here very often, but I read every post in this thread and have liked more than my fair share. I’m dying to see how this lineup turns out. Personally, I always love finding new bands at Warped that weren’t really on my radar before. So with so many known bands seemingly ruled out this year, it’s going to be interesting!
They're doing a spring tour with Slaughtered To Prevail, Aversions Crown, Spite, and No Zodiac. The Southeast dates conflict with the radius clause; I'd rule them out.
has Billy Talent been brought up much as a possibility? They have a German show on 7/22, but I could see them doing select shows in the first half. Their current tour ends this week and they have nothing else going on until summer. Also, did Anti-Flag drop off some shows in August or something? According to both their Facebook and official website they have no shows after April 30th. I definitely seem to remember them having a European fest or something that conflicted with the last week of Warped when our speculation started. Can anyone confirm?
Ok I need expert opinions. Trying to decide which date makes the most sense for me this year. Want to hear about everyone's experiences at the venues/dates. For content, I'm from Montreal, used to go when the tour came here. 2015 I went to Toronto and it was great. Last year I went to the Holmdel date, it's about a 6.5 hour drive for me but I spent the weekend in NYC and got to see Brand New play MSG the same weekend. Warped itself was just ok venue wise and the trip cost me an arm and a leg. My other options are: Camden, NJ, BB&T Pavillion (the furthest from me, if I do this date I'd do Hartford too) - 7.5 hour drive Wantagh, NY, Nikon at Jones Beach (my frist Warped was at Nassau Coliseum in 2008, oh the memories) - 6.5 hour drive Hartford, CT, Xfinity Theater (never spent more than 5 minutes in Hartford, it's the closest date) - 5 hour drive Holmdel, NJ, PNC Bank Arts Center (see above) - 6.5 hour drive
I wouldn't rule them out entirely. I know they're currently off the road right now so let's cross our fingers!!!
Shit, that happened in my town and I had no idea about that. I was also 2 when that happened but, man I never would have thought something like warped would come anywhere near Falmouth especially with a lineup like that. Blink, Deftones, 311 too. Sucks that no tours like this would ever come near the Cape these days.
I had never gone, but it's changed from the past to today. Everything does - it always gets bigger, and more.. more everything.
I'll take a stab at this. If I were you, I'd wait until the lineup and band routing comes out. Judging by other years, this is the halfway point of the tour where the 1st half bands are leaving and the 2nd half bands are coming in. Looking at these dates, I think it'll be right around the Jones Beach show. If there are more 1st half only bands you want to see, then look at Camden/Jones Beach/Hartford. If it's the 2nd half, look at Darien Lake and the Holmdel venue. This is also the first year that the NJ date is on a Saturday and I'm extremely excited! As far as venues, I've been to Jones Beach and Hartford a couple times. I've never been to either venue for Warped (I was also at the Nassau Coliseum date in 2008) but for regular shows, getting out of both lots sucked. I'm at PNC at least 5 times a summer and I've been going there for Warped since they moved it from Raceway Park and Monmouth Racetrack. I like the layout they do in that small space but I can't stand parking in the woods and walking a half mile to the entrance. I've never been to the Camden venue but I hear it's really nice if you don't take any wrong turns haha. If I were you and the lineup doesn't really change between that weekend, I'd push for the Holmdel date. Traffic isn't bad at all, you're next to 95 and if you need lodging, there's a lot of cheaper options than NYC/Philly/Hartford.
