Warped Tour 2018: The Final Cross-Country Trek Tour • Page 83

What festival is he doing now?

 

I just mean as a replacement for Warped. But he is doing Its Not Dead Fest

 

If I recall correctly, there’s going to be a one-date Warped-themed festival next year to celebrate Warped’s 25th anniversary, then it’s done

 

I dont think it will stay that way. I see maybe three festivals a year

 

everyone lies slaps though

 

As It Is confirmed part of their setlist on Twitter

They'll for sure play
-The Wounded World
-The Stigma (Boys Don't Cry)
-No Way Out
-Soap

They also probably won't cut
-Okay
-Dial Tones

That only leaves enough room for 1 or 2 other songs at most. Probably 'Cheap Shots & Setbacks', 'Pretty Little Distance" or 'Speak Soft'

 

No Rachel?

 

They might, but they said they didn't want to oversaturate the set with songs from okay.

 

Yeah if they are already playing No Way Out, Soap and Okay. They should probably throw in Can't Save Myself or something off Never Happy, probably Speak Soft.

 

The video As it Is did for "Sorry" made that song the symbollic Warped Tour song for me, so I'll be sad if they don't play it but I understand why.

I feel like Cheap Shots is a safe bet

Although I'm still pissed they've only played Winter's Weather in the US twice. (Outside of VIP)

 

So what stages will be where this year? In the case of Holmdel, last year Skullcandy/Hard Rock were in the amphitheater. What would replace those?

 

I'm also curious about this. Maybe Owly and Full Sail? My date had a main stage and Hard Rock in the Amphitheater last year but that's because it rained hard all morning and the grounds were flooded. The other main stage didn't start until about 3pm when they got it cleaned up enough.

 

Maybe just the Owly stage? I mean the bands are fairly big (compared to the full sail stage most years), so it won’t be super weird to have in the amphitheater. Just because the full sail seems super small this year, like there’s 4 or 5 bands it seems like, depending on the date

 

as long as pretense stays i’m good. that’s definitely my fav song
i also really hope for evergreen but that’s not gonna happen

 

yep. I see that as well. LA, NYC, and Chicago.

 

I feel like he’d have to do Florida for sure. I bet LA, West Palm Beach, Boston and Chicago or Minneapolis or something else

 

I feel like it's be different cities each year. Chicago has Riot Fest though, and Orlando has Self-Help so I feel like it'd be cities that have fewer non-metal rock fests.

Maybe San Francisco to start? Minneapolis, Seattle and most of the South seems to fit that criteria also.

 

Boston would have a big hole in the scene if nothing took its place.

 

On William Ryan Key's spotify page, it has him playing Warped in Camden, NJ for me? Anyone hear anything about this or likely a mistake on their end?

 

I just looked and his Spotify page has him listed as playing the 12-14, I haven't heard anything about this otherwise though. I know Kevin asked Yellowcard to play and they said no as a band, maybe this was to make up for that.

 

This is off topic, but I had my 5th nightmare about a stage conflict last night

 

Lmao, I had my first the other night. Nothing serious, just one of those dreams where everything is happening so fast there's no time to catch up.

 

Ackk, I missed my top two bands in mine

 

This years warped isn't coming to Seattle, I doubt he'd make it one of his festival stops. Too expensive to come to the NW is what he said when I asked him on twitter. I don't think that will change in his mind in the next few years.

 

He said the travel through there is too expensive (i.e. driving up from Cali is too dangerous for all those massive nightliners, and going around through the plains takes too much time) but I'm sure everyone getting up there on their own instead of a big tour would be much easier
