Warped Tour 2018: The Final Cross-Country Trek Tour • Page 111

MC Lars did a special set yesterday

 

I feel like I remember Mayday making some comment about Blink not working out before covering Rock Show on the webcast.

 

Service out here got real bad around noon, only now have been able to access the internet again.

In any case, ETID ended their set with saying ‘RIP Vinnie Paul’ and then playing some riffs. I assume they were Pantera riffs, but not being familiar with them I wouldn’t rightly know which songs to attribute them to. If anyone wants to send me a few of their most popular I can try and figure it out for the setlist thread.

 

I dunno, seemed typical to me. Mostly took place in the parking lot. Early access entrance was right by the Mutant stages, which were in their usual pair and little farther forward than the Journey stages. Owly and Full Sail were on small grassy patches on opposite sides of the site. A lot less hot than Pomona, but also felt a lot more cramped.

 

Top 5 most known Pantera riffs would probably be Walk, Cowboys From Hell, Domination, 5 Minutes Alone, and Cemetery Gates. Walk and Cowboys are the usual covered Pantera songs so I wouldn't be surprised if one or both are a part of the riff medley.

 

I have some friends that are at the Ventura date today, and looking at their Snapchat videos, it looks like Simple Plan now has a stage banner and a bassist again, lol

Just saw some pictures and videos and I have a general idea of where everything is. Definitely a much more cramped setup this year

 

Kind of surprised Pierce The Veil wasn’t a surprise guest for San Diego

 

I’m not sure if they’ll even play any shows this year, They seem focused on writing

 

Did anyone that went today catch PVMNTS set? Curious as to how that went/what their draw was like.

 

after three dates I can say with only a little bias that the can't-miss-best-bands this year are The Maine, Chase Atlantic and Every Time I Die. definitely make time to watch those sets

 

For anyone interested, TBS’ crowd...

 

Chase Atlantic's setlist is admitedly pretty underwhelming

 

N

it surprised, but at the same time holy shit

 

Also, almost every date so far I would’ve had so many conflicts. It’s only gonna get worse for me once more acts jump on nearing Jersey, Mass and CT

 

Also just remembered how mad I am that neither CT, Mass, Jersey or FL gets Frank Turner.

 

The tour is off for the next three days, and picks back up on Thursday in Phoenix.

 

same but i just saw him on his headliner so its not that big of a deal

 

I'm mad that Connecticut doesn't get Less Than Jake they're a warped tour staple that everyone should see

 

Agreed, I hate that they're not playing 23 or Cassie but they are so damn good live that whatever songs they play sound fantastic

 

They're not even playing 'Into It' or 'Drugs and Money', which were set staples up to this point. And they cut them in favor of The Walls which as far as I was aware wasn't even much of a fan favorite,

 

10/10 Ventura never seems to disappoint!
I saw:
Mayday Parade
The Maine
Wage War
Tonight Alive (partial)
Real Friends
As It Is
Simple Plan
Every Time I Die
This Wild Life
Movements
Don Broco
End of Reel Big Fish
Ice Nine Kills
Taking Back Sunday
We the Kings
All Time Low
Trash Boat
Picturesque

The Amity/We the Kings conflict is the only real one I had. From start to finish, this was easily one of the best years I've had at Warped. I'm just a little heartbroken that its over now

 

I don’t know what I’m going to do with myself until then

 

Right! I check this thread more than daily, even though the only band I have on the tour until July 17 are The Maine.

 

I’ve been swapping back and forth between Warped news and Smash Bros. news, so whenever they’re both slow I feel lost lol.

 

Were there any surprise performers so far?
