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
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.
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
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.
there were rumors they were using these as their warm up gigs for their euro tour and there’s def a spot that fits their name on DC.
