Somebody on the Warped Facebook page asked for Fidlar and PWR BTTM. I thought that one was bizarre. I don't think they understand what either of those bands are going for.
5 Seconds of Summer would be believable if their fame didn't go from almost nobodys to playing the big league venues.
Who were we thinking the five Epitaph bands would be this year? Bad Religion Escape the Fate Too Close to Touch Who else?
Here's their active roster with some notes. Lots of potential ones in there, I was too lazy to go through the whole list in details. Alkaline Trio (NO) Anthem for the Unwanted Architects (U.S. & Europe only) (NO) Avion Roe Bad Religion (LIKELY) Beautiful Bodies Big Talk Converge Cover Your Tracks Dangerous! A Day to Remember (distribution only) (NO) Defeater Descendents (NO) Desaparecidos Every Time I Die (NO) Falling In Reverse The Ghost Inside (NO) I Killed the Prom Queen (MAYBE) Jamie T Joyce Manor The Lawrence Arms Letlive (NO) Matchbook Romance The Menzingers Millencolin (U.S. only) Motion City Soundtrack Now and On Earth (formerly Skip The Foreplay) Obey The Brave Off With Their Heads Parkway Drive (U.S. & Europe only) (MAYBE) Pennywise Pianos Become the Teeth Plague Vendor Propagandhi Refused Retox Roll The Tanks Saosin SayWeCanFly Settle The Sidekicks Sleeping With Sirens Sleepwave Social Distortion Survive This! This Wild Life Too Close to Touch Touché Amoré (NO) Veara The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die
Assuming there are even 5 epitaph bands (because I have decided that the leak was false and it was only guessing bands and at least some of its information was incorrect) my guess would be these 5: Bad religion Cover your tracks Escape the fate Parkway drive Too close to touch But considering I think it is wrong I think we will only have 2 or 3 from epitaph. Too close to touch Cover your tracks Bad religion (but if bad religion is on then hatebreed is not)
I just realized that escape the fate isn't on epitaph my bad. I guess I killed the prom queen would be that spot instead but still I don't think we will get 5 from epitaph this year
Bad Religion I Killed The Prom Queen Plague Vendor Cover Your Tracks Too Close To Touch Escape The Fate isn't on Epitaph anymore
Just in case people still believe the leak here are the reasons I have deemed it false (note this is the leak that claimed to have gwar, hatebreed,bad religion, lagwagon, cky, black veil brides and beartooth. It's also said 5 bands from fat wreck chords, 5 from epitaph, and 25 less bands overall). So I will attach a few photos that prove these points but here me go. 1. Between hatebreed, bad religion, black veil brides and beartooth, 2 of those are on, 1 is kind of right and 1 is wrong. All 4 of those were in the leak so that's one way the leak was wrong 2. There will not be 25 less bands this year because at my Nashville stop last year there were 68 bands which would mean 43 bands this year however when asked through email to Kevin himself he said the average will be 2 less a day but still 65 bands a day. will have to post each photo one at a time View attachment 6521
