Warped Tour Tour • Page 46

I forgot that shitshow was $450, that's more than what I paid for a 4-day pass for Lolla. I think there are people who are still waiting for refunds

 

450?!?!?? WOW. Did it happen or was it cancelled

 

Bamboozle was cancelled

but yeah, officially worried about this warped lineup. Maybe selling my tickets and hanging with friends in southern cali instead isn’t a bad alternative at all

 

Yeah, my initial instinct was to make fun of the people complaining in their social media comments who seem to have thought that Warped, a fest that historically prioritized up-and-coming bands over big ticket headliners, was gonna have arena-level bands.

But even by modest standards, I do think this lineup has missed the mark so far. As you all pointed out the demographic of people who would appreciate this lineup, doesn't square with the demographic of people who would travel to see a Warped-themed fest. A lot of the bands on this lineup were barely even formed when the last Warped Tour happened.

Of course, we've barely seen half the lineup, and I personally really like it and would've paid full price if any of the dates came within driving/amtrak distance of me, but I do stand by my assessment from months that launching ticket sales before the lineup announcement was a scam, and people shouldn't have bought tickets without knowing what they were getting into.

 

Using the word “scam” is pretty messed up. At no point did they lead anyone to believe anything that isn’t true?

 

The only way this is a scam is if none of the bands show up on the show days come on now

 

The Devil Wears Prada seems to fit after The Dark on LB and Orlando dates.

 

Jakob Nowell’s band Jakobs Castle playing DC

 

If they booked Jakobs Castle but not Sublime that would be so embarrassing

 

I don’t really see anywhere on DC poster sublime would fit. There’s some spots on Orlando and LB though

 

I could see Sublime playing Orlando. They’d be an apt fitting for the LB show, but they’re headlining Beach Life Fest in Redondo in May, so that might take them out

 

Sublime is too big for warped

 

I think Sublime would be a good Warped “headliner.” Even if they’re an iconic band, they’re still playing sub-headliner (or lower) spots on fests or if they are headlining, it’s a smaller-scale festival. Like, they played an early evening spot on No Values Fest last year in SoCal, where they’re easily the most popular. They played before Turnstile

FWIW too, they’re headlining Saturday of Beach Life and 311 headlined that same festival a few years back.

 

Yeah I mean, in no way was I ever expecting arena-level bands, but something like the Warped 2019 lineup was what I was hoping for/expecting (I was there in Atlantic City... great time). That lineup had ADTR, Atmosphere, Blink, Bowling for Soup, Circa Survive, Dirty Heads, Four Year Strong, Glassjaw, Good Charlotte, Hidden in Plain View, Man Overboard, Simple Plan, Sleeping With Sirens, the Starting Line, Taking Back Sunday, Valencia, We the Kings, etc.

I knew the risk of buying ahead of time.

To me this is much different and (in my personal opinion) worse than that lineup even... BUT of course, half the lineup still left to announce. If the theory that they're holding some/many of the bigger bands until the end is true, then it should be OK.. I just don't really know why they'd do that I guess?

I mentioned earlier but as a 30 year old I feel like i'm squarely in the middle of the demos that would like this lineup.

I'm not the biggest music fan on earth but i've attended 150-200 concerts (probably a much smaller amount than post people here!). If I attend one of those "emo nights," i'll typically know the words to 90% of the songs they play...

I've literally never heard of 31 of the 46 bands announced so far (408, 6arelyhuman, Chandler Leighton, Dance Hall Crashers, Destroy Boys, Drain, Fishbone, Fever 333, El Centro, Girlfriends, Grave Secrets, Honey Revenge, Jack Kays, Johnny Guilbert, Jutes, Kami Kehoe, Left to Suffer, Lolo, Megg, OxyMorrons, Point North, Royal & The Serpent, Sage6, Selfish Sons, Silly Goose, The Barbarians of California, The Dark, The Home Team, TX2, Wiplash, and World's First Cinema)

Of the remaining 15 that I know, I really only listen to State Champs often. Used to like Red Jumpsuit Apparatus quite a bit, and Bowling for Soup and Cobra Starship are pretty good nostalgia bands.

Now I am FULLY aware i'm analyzing a lineup that still has another 45+ bands to come.. so hopefully this entire post was a waste of time. Just a bit unhappy so far and that can change with even ~10 more good bands in the next couple weeks.

 

Bryce Vine playing Long Beach

 

actual W

 

Feels random to me buttt definitely dig Bryce Vine, so that's dope. Keep proving me wrong Kevin lmao

 

Dye playing LB

 

I hope The All American Rejects and The Ataris are to the left of The Barbarians of California on LB

 

The Pardox on LB. Well this rules The Offspring for LB at least

 

That officially rules The Offspring out from playing LB then. Looks like the rumor was BS

 

At this point, it’s wishful thinking, but The Suicide Machines looks like their name could fit in one of the spaces next to TRJA

 

It would be unreasonable for it to be a name people have heard before.

 

Lol yeah like who are these people. The paradox? dye? What???? Pretty sure my band in high school had similar play counts to these bands lol

 

These thirty second sets better be a beautiful lie album plays…if not, this will be a massive flop of a booking. Jared can probably only fit 5 songs in a 40min set with all his unnecessary crowd work.
