Alright, now hear me out here: For future iterations of Warped, I propose... Warped Tour: Four Corners - The basic Warped Tour set up in 4 corners of the continental US: Washington, Maine, Florida, and (southern) California! I know there’s not much of a market in Maine, but I think it’d be a cool one off idea. Crush my dreams in the comments below!
I think he said it would stay a tour in North America, your idea is more of a collection of fests with the same branding (Like Self-Help). I honestly think there'll be 2-3 tours that are something like 3-5 days each in the future. Guessing it'll be New England and California, but I'm just guessing
Idrc what happens to Warped in the future cause it'll probably be at least 5 hours away from Minneapolis anyways
The Midwest would absolutely hate this idea. Not that I'm from there, but I would absolutely hate to be from, let's say Chicago. I think what's going to be more likely is a destination fest type thing on LA, Chicago, NYC, maybe somewhere on south Florida, somewhere in Texas.
True. Heavier music always does well in rural areas and b-markets, and while pop-punk isn't necessarily big in the midwestern A-markets, it has enough roots in Chicago for it to be absurd for any "Scene" tour to skip that market.
I feel like it'll try to avoid direct competition with Self-Help Self-Help has been in -San Bernindino -Orlando -Philly -Detroit So maybe WarpedFest will do -New York -Seattle -Austin -Milwaukee
I was just thinking of a generic Midwest city I doubt they'll do Chicago, they have enough events as it is Maybe Cleveland then?
Anyone think Hail The Sun will get added to the full tour? I know they posted they are on till 07/08 and so did the Warped website but Alterative Press everytime they post what bands are playing what dates they have them listed on the full tour
Assuming this little fantasy of mine becomes some version of reality, my most likely candidates would be... - Pomona, CA - Auburn, WA - Long Island, NY - West Palm Beach, FL
They're skipping the NW (Seattle & Portland) on this last tour cause they didn't sell well enough and it wasn't worth the drive. I highly doubt they'd make seattle one of the main four places compared to somewhere in the midwest.
You guys have the new Impact Festival which has a half decent lineup. I've been to Rise Above Fest (the old name of it) and it was a lot of fun.

Does anyone know how they are booking these bands? Or does anyone even recognize bands for their date? I don't recognize any bands from my date, Long island (7/28). They all appear to be apart of more of the brooklyn indie/punk scene, rather than the local pop punk / metalcore / scenecore bands that you would usually see on warped. I feel like I know the pop punk scene on long island pretty damn well, and even some band from across the nyc metro area but were not getting any of those bands.
