Warped Tour 2016 Festival • Page 5

Ultimate VIP Warped Tour experience will donate to the Ghost Inside - News - Alternative Press

 

The Ballroom Charades will be playing 7/20

 

Not bad for a band that has 184 Facebook likes.

 

still debating on going this year doesnt seem stacked to me but wage war, in hearts wake and oceans ate alaska r swaying me

 

I'm back! Lineup is awesome, though this will probably be my final year.

 

I have thought about that too. This lineup is so good. I don't know how Lyman can top it next year. But I always enjoy Warped Tour. The problem is that my friend who I go with doesn't listen to new music and only likes 1 or 2 bands each year usually.

 

This year's lineup is awesome and I honestly don't see myself not ever going to Warped again. I skipped it from 2010-2013 and have had a blast the last two years. Even though the lineup will most likely be heavier next year, their will still be enough bands for me to have a good time. I already have one band I want to see in TGI and I assume Neck Deep will be a lock for maim stage next year as well.

 

This is my 12th year. I'll keep going until they stop having it even if that means another decade. Most of my non-Warped show buddies are in their 30s and 40s anyway. Never too old for Punk and Metal.

 

This is my 13th year, and I feel the same way. I always love it and look forward to it each year.

 

Plus, I really don't think they can ever make a less interesting main stage lineup than last year. If that's the worst we ever have to deal with, I'll be happy lol.

The undercard was excellent last year, though. Crossfaith, PUP, The Dirty Nil, Trophy Eyes, Lee Corey Oswald, Moose Blood, I Killed The Prom Queen. But it was definitely the least amount of time I ever spent at a Warped main stage. August Burns Red was the only full set I caught on main.

 

My point was that I always enjoy Warped Tour. I keep up with the newer bands so there is always something there for me. But my friend who I go with every year only listens to the older bands (New Found Glory, Bowling For Soup, Alkaline Trio). I am lucky if there is more than 1-2 bands he likes each year. Since almost all his favorite bands are playing this year, unless Simple Plan or Alkaline Trio play next year, I could see him not wanting to go. As much as I love Warped Tour, I am not sure I can't see going to Warped Tour alone.

 

Yeah I can understand that. I have 2 friends who attend with me every year and keep up to date on the scene, but I know a bunch of people coming out of Warped retirement this year for Sum 41, NFG, and Yellowcard.

 

You're lucky. I wish my friends did the same.

 

The main stage this year is definitely better than last year. I only saw TWY and Man Overboard on main stage last year as I was bouncing around the side stages. I'd argue the undercard is weaker this year though. I like quite a few of the bands on the side stages, but knucklepuck is my only must see. Last year with As It Is, Transit, Moose Blood, Silverstein, Senses Fail, Amity Affliction, Have Mercy, Seaway and Aaron West was a much stronger undercard. I'm excited to be at Main Stage almost all day though. Last year my date had tons of schedule conflicts and it kind of sucked (As it Is/Transit vs Silverstein, Knucklepuck vs Seaway vs Transit Acoustic, Have Mercy vs TWY, Moose Blood vs Man Overboard) The only full sets I saw were Silverstein, Neck Deep and TWY.

 

I think I'll be spending more time at main stage this year than I have in a long time. A few of my must sees are on the side stages (Teenage Bottlerocket, Masked Intruder, Veil Of Maya, The Interrupters, Every Time I Die) but I'll be at main for most of the day besides that. I'm seeing Whitechapel next weekend so I'm not considering them a Warped priority anymore.

 

What new songs are you looking forward to hearing this year?

Colder Quicker by Real Friends and Make Shift Love by Good Charlotte come to mind for me.

 

I went to Warped Tour alone in 2014, and it was actually a great experience. I didn't have to compromise with anyone on scheduling conflicts. I didn't have to look around for my friends after a band's set before moving to a different stage. Everything was really efficient.

 

keeper by with confidence is one id check out

 

real friends - mess! easily my favourite of the 3 new ones they've released! but i'll probably see it before at slam dunk..

 

My buddy and I usually end up splitting up. He wanders around waiting for the 1-2 bands he wants to see and I'll do my own thing.

 

Hopefully new Sum 41

 

I pledged towards their new album. They recently asked all pledgers to confirm their shipping addresses so the album should be out soon. I am surprised we haven't got a new song yet.

 

Pretty Monsters by Reckless Serenade. Check it out you may like it, if you like those two

 

american authors are playing all 3 texas dates. find tht pretty interesting

 

I would expect Beartooth to do Main as well.
