I love that mine ended the way it began, as long as I am remembering correctly. I know BFS was one of the first bands I saw, but I'm pretty sure they WERE the first. So: First: Bowling For Soup (2004) Last: Bowling For Soup (2018) EDIT: Also, apparently I am old.
Warped has so many great memories for me despite only having been to 3 dates due to living in England. My first band was the end of Relient K at Randall's island in 2005 and then my last band was Set your goals in Ventura 2011 on the last night of my honeymoon. Even though the line-up has arguably got weaker (less to my taste???) I would still have gone to any subsequent date had it lined up with a holiday.
First: DRUGS (2011) Last: Sum 41 (2016) Sad I missed that last 2 years due to life getting in the way but happy with the way it ended in Chicago 2 years ago.
I constantly look back amazed at the line-up for that day. Apart from the lengthy queue to get in and the dust bowl it was an awesome day.
First: Bring Me the Horizon(2008) Last: Silverstein(2018) Damn I'll never forget that BMTH set. First year going and we got in paid for a schedule and right away saw BMTH was opening at like 11:30 that morning we had like 10 minutes to figure out where the stage was and the set was insanely violent.
First: The Offspring (2005) Last: Simple Plan (2018) I also realized that Simple Plan was the second band I saw in 2005, and I hadn't seen them since that show, so it was cool to end the era with them.
Damn, The White Tie Affair really was a thing that happened for a minute, huh? About to play Candle in their memory haha.
Good idea, First: August Burns Red (2011) Last: ETID/Joan Jett (2018) Funny, because etid and ABR are a few of the only heavy bands I really dig
My buddy's band opened for The White Tie Affair in late 2008 and by the time they hit the stage literally nobody was there except for members of the other bands plus me. It was sad. They actually seemed like decent people.
I am pretty sure The White Tie Affair opened for Lady Gaga back around 2008/2009. I forgot about them too!
Anyone who preordered the downloads for the final two songs from the bands playing live get them yet?
