based on the price I’m thinking August Burns Red, Underoath, The Maine, Wonder Years level acts….maybe….maybe a day to remember
Lineup-wise, I get the feeling it will be similar to the Mountain View lineup of the 25th anniversary fest, minus the big headliners. It’ll just be stacked with a lot of higher-mid, mid and smaller bands. Like, something along the lines of Bad Religion or New Found Glory-level popular
Bands will be announced in weekly updates (helps highlight smaller acts). -If 2025 is successful, he will review adding more dates in the future. -70 to 100 bands at each date. Vans Warped Tour 2025: Kevin Lyman Talks Dates, Location, Lineup Info
At this point, I'd be kind of surprised if WWWY even happens next year. Knowing people travel for these things, they're likely not going to run a similar lineup to compete against themselves a few weeks after Las Vegas in Orlando.
Right off the bat, I expect Sublime to headline the Long Beach dates. They performed at the 1st Warped Tour 30 years ago
locations kinda suck for me, and there’s no way i’m interested in this until i see a lineup. the price point rules though. for all the things lyman sucks at, he does a great job putting together an affordable music festival. i really miss having the ability to see so many artists i really enjoy without having to jump on a plane or drive for a million hours to do it.
They did it from like, 2011-2015. I remember they started doing it around the time I started attending
I can see the long beach lineup kind of looking something like Headliners: Blink 182, Pierce the Veil, A Day to Remember or something similar to that. I strongly think Blink is at least gonna be at one of these things. I can also see your Mayday Parade, Boys Like Girls, Real Friends, The Maine, Waterparks, Neck Deeps playing this thing.
Blink’s biggest ever take home from a single concert was this year, $5.7M after selling 51k tickets at SoFi stadium. Most of their gigs are $2-2.5M. I don’t know the financials but if warped offered $3-4M for a single show where none of their production costs are baked into it, I think they’d easily take it lol
agreed. I’m thinking this is a 35-40k day fest at $150 (right now). They could book bands like ADTR, NFG, TBS, PTV for under $500k and fill this out.
