Warped Tour Tour • Page 39

I expect DC to be last in rankings once everything is posted given less bands there but maybe the good bands will get longer sets thus making it good?

 

Same budget for each show so probably just depends if you like the more expensive bands on dc or not

 

hopefully Dance Hall Crashers aren't the band that ate up all of DC's budget

 

Orlando's got the biggest lineup and it's the furthest away, I could see them waiting to announce some of the orlando exclusive heavy hitters until closer to the show

 

Yeah exactly how long are band announcements supposed to take? Isn’t it 30 days or something?

 

A Loss For Words playing Orlando

 

Finally a solid win for Orlando

 

Now we’re talkin

 

That's pretty amazing.

 

AL4W is a good get. Wish they were on Long Beach.

 

not necessarily. Blink seems a slam dunk to play Long Beach. They’re likely the biggest band playing but they’re local and willing to do it cheap. DC may require more money for fly ins/lodging than Florida or California dates.

 

no

 

If Blink was playing any of these cities, ticket prices would've been double what they were to begin with.

 

When has blink been willing to do anything cheap? lol

 

Anyone thinking Blink, who makes $2M+ a night would play Warped for penny’s on the dollar is insane

 

I think Blink is out based on WWWY.

 

mark said on his own discord they werent playing warped and when people are informed of this they still think they are playing

 

There will be people convinced they will be a surprise guest until the very last band plays – and maybe even after that!

 

Escape The Fate playing DC and Orlando

 

Not a fan of ETF but nice to see that all three names so far today have been pretty established acts.

 

People's expectations are just so far off it's hilarious.

It was funny even back in the mid 2010s watching people think FOB or Green Day or Paramore would be on the tour. Like can we be real lol

 

I have a friend who is absolutely convinced that My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy and Paramore are headlining DC. This same friend is also complaining that $260 is a rip off.

 

In general, I think the "bands love playing Warped so will do these festivals for cheap" trope is way offbase. Bands loved playing Warped Tour back in the day because of the vibes. And most of the artists who continued to do it on the regular from the early days (Pennywise, Reel Big Fish, Less Than Jake from the 90s and then Senses Fail, Silverstein and such from the 2000s) did so because their "value" never really ticked upward in a major way but they still got something positive out of it.

...And most of the bands that had that? It wasn't really due to Warped Tour. It didn't hurt but it was a very, very small part of a bigger equation. Warped just got real lucky a few years booking bands as they were primed to pop anyway. And most of them only did the tour like, once or twice. I'm pretty sure Blink only did the full tour once!

I don't doubt Lyman when he says most of the negotiations were pretty easy. But I'm sure a bunch of the bands who said no because the finances wouldn't work were the ones people are speculating as headliners.

And I'm honestly just confused as to how they're so closely associated with the tour anyway because of the reasons I listed above. LOL

 

I could see Blink doing it, but my only reasoning is that Blink was supposed to be a surprise guest on the Pomona stop of the 2018 Warped tour (but ended up cancelling because of Travis having health issues). So it seems they are game for that type of thing. That being said, I’m not anticipating them and will not be surprised if they aren’t doing it in the end

 

blink's $$$ guarantee in 2018 is far different than 2025
