After the schedule leaked I looked at my planned schedule and it didn't feel very different than any Warped tour...
Yeah Skiba has no idea what he's talking about lol. Unless his booking agent said it, I'd just put my money on Skiba not paying attention.
Yeah, people saw the lineup and panicked, they hype was unreal. I am ending up only seeing 3/4 bands that I have never seen before (If I make it through the end at least)
I'm sure Year 2 bands were extremely more aware. All you need is one year/successful onsale under your belt for WWWY's name to carry that certain weight it now has.
in hindsight, having this the very weekend of a Raiders home game pretty much totally ruined prices for staying *anywhere* remotely close that isn't a dingy dive motel
i stay at dingy dive motels any chance i can, when i travel somewhere for just a quick stay, like a show. One or two nights. Because generally, I am only going to be there to take a shower and sleep, so as long as there's a clean bed and a lock on the door, i'm fine with it.
i stayed at a dingy place for riot and regretted it immensely lmao. never again, i'm splurging on hotels for every fest now
