    The PRP had the attendance numbers from the Orlando stop. Attendance was just over 6,000 which is down from 9,800 last year. A nearly 40% drop is pretty rough. It'll be interesting to see if the other dates suffered this much

    The first part is correct, though. Not sure what you're getting at. At worst it's a mix of both.

    If Mayhem Fest didn't drop the ball in 2015 and fail to get a headliner that fills amphitheaters (sorry, Slayer) it would probably still be a thing.

    Also I'd like to see numbers for Scranton. This year didn't seem any emptier than 2015 or 2016. There was noticeable decline from 2011 to 2012, but it seems to have stayed more or less the same since then.

    Charlotte was much smaller than normal. I'd say it was missing about 15-20 percent of the crowd compared to previous years.

    It's not even the fact that Slayer couldn't do ampitheaters. They're doing it now on a handful of dates with Lamb of God and Behemoth. It's that Slayer was at a lot of the same venues and areas like only 3 or 4 months earlier, they cut down to one side stage with what looked like a cheaper lineup, and they were competing with an insane lineup of a Slipknot headliner (Slipknot with LoG, BFMV, and MiW) hitting the same areas only days apart. Mayhem was doomed from the beginning if those were the decisions they made.

    I think I remember hearing at the time that Mayhem was banking on getting LoG and/or BFMV for main stage and Slipknot secured them instead, and Kevin ended up having trouble just getting a full lineup together.

    I heard a rumor they were aiming for the Slipknot tour as the main stage, but they didn't offer what Slipknot wanted so Slipknot just did their own headliner. I also heard that the Slipknot tour was supposed to be a part of what the lineup already was. So like:
    Slipknot
    Slayer
    King Diamond
    Lamb of God

    And then BFMV, MiW, Hellyeah, and TDWP all doing side stages.

    also recall hearing arch enemy had gotten offered mayhem in 2015 but they passed and headlined summer slaughter instead.

    Which from what I know was also a bad year for that tour.

    Seems like what happened to mayham in 2015 happened to warped This year to a lesser extent. I remember hearing that Kevin was asking bands like all time low to come out this year and they fit in the demographic that despised the lineup this year

    I don't think it's on nearly the same level as what Mayhem was. There were a lot of dates that had like only 10-30 percent of the ampitheater filled by the time TDWP came on.

    from what I saw at my stop, this year more than ever attracted the most amount of new Warped-goers than before, which was super cool to see. Now they can mix these new goers with the older ones from a couple years ago that maybe didn't attend this year with a mixture of the two lineups styles and perhaps have their biggest turnout ever

    God damn, I've never travelled for any tour or festival besides Warped but I legit might have done it for that! WOW! Of course, only if it was like warped and was all general admission floor... I wouldn't want to sit in some seat way far away for every band... that's why I love Warped so much.

    Are there any other festivals/tours organized like that? The ones I've seen like Rock on the Range or something are just in a stadium with pre-arranged seats everywhere besides maybe the pit tickets, but how much are those usually? Comparable to Warped's ticket price?

    Where do you think this puts Massachusetts for when the full run stops? The numbers and income were significantly higher than most of those dates
