Warped Tour 2018: The Final Cross-Country Trek Tour • Page 121

To throw in my two cents:

Four Years Strong
Neither
Simple Plan

 

Dayseeker (those dudes need all the support they can get and FYS won't be hurting)
MiW (don't stroke Ronnie's ego)
Simple Plan

 

Agree though MIW if you really need to choose one of them.

 

FYS, MIW definitely

 

Real Friends has a fall headliner.

 

For anyone who cares Issue's stage banner finally arrived.

Light blue with a giant (Kirby? Some cartoon animal) on it and the Issues logo in white blue (and small pink triangles all over it)

Edit: It's a troll toy

 

If today way my day:

11:30 harms way
1:00 state champs
1:30 hail the sun
2:10 don broco (conflict with wage war)
3:00 reel big fish (conflict with ice nine kills)
3:30 senses fail (conflict with phinehas)
4:30 the maine
5:00 kublai khan
5:30 unearth
6:00 the amity affliction
6:30 movements
7:00 the used
8:30 simple plan

 

1200 - Issues
1230 - In Hearts Wake
100 - State Champs
130 - This Wild Life
200 - Knuckle Puck
230 - Dayseeker
300 - Ice Nine Kills
330 - Real Friends
430 - Every Time I Die
500 - Waterparks (or break)
530 - We The Kings (or break)
600 - 3OH!3 (or break)
630 - Movements
700 - Chelsea Grin
730 - Motionless in White
810 - Grayscale (or leave)

Conflicts would have been Knuckle Puck v. Wage War, and Real Friends v. Senses Fail. Overall wouldn't have been a bad day. But no Trash Boat is obviously sad and like I said earlier everyone should try and throw them at least a few dollars if they can. RF and SF conflict would have been a bummer as well.

 

That Real Friends/Senses Fail conflict can damn itself to hell FOR ALL ETERNITY

 

NFG hinted at an announcement for more shows on there insta

 

As a big NFG fan, I’m incredibly jealous of whoever gets NFG at their date

 

They'll probably get on the MN date cause it could stand to have another mainstager fill out the lineup and they haven't done an All-Ages show here since last Warped

 

That 3oh!3/The Amity Affliction and The Maine/ETID conflicts damn that would be bad.

 

Denver pulled 18,000 people. Hot diggity dang

 

I just saw this, but I hope you watched Four Year Strong, Motionless in White, and Simple Plan!

 

I will cry if dollskin and sharptooth conflict at my date. I probably just jinxed myself now.

 

Denver was sick today! Full recap coming soon but highlights were FYS playing to like 3500 people, getting on stage with The Maine and watching Ice Nine Kills burn the place to ground.

 

So I'm gonna be going to Tinley Park Warped for the first time, so is there anything I should know about the set-up/venue?

I need to get my tix will-call from the visitors tent, then idk what the plan is. It's Chicago so it'll probably be the busiest day.

How many GA lines are there into the venue?
Is any stage covered or in the amphitheatre?
How large/narrow is the venue ground?
How's the suburb itself?
Is it in the venue or in the parking lot?

 

So I just wrote out a giant paragraph and accidentally backspaced, so this is going to be shortened. I went in 2015 to see The Wonder Years and Aaron West again.

The line is basically a cluster of people but gets split into 4-6 ticket takers when enterting the venue. The amphitheater is covered, which hosts a Main Stage and a side stage. On the other side of the park, another Main Stage and side stage play back and forth. Basically when a Main Stage band is playing in the amphitheater, a side stage band is playing on the other side of the park, and vice versa. The grounds is decently spacious, though it can get a little clogged up entering and exiting the Main Stages. I'd recommend getting to the Main Stage in the amphitheater a set in advance if you want to be in the pit. However, this was back when there were two Main Stages, two Monster Stages, two Journey's side stages, an EDM stage, an Ernie Ball stage, and a Kevin Says stage, so the geography might have changed. The suburb itself is pretty standard - the town's economy, at least in that area, revolves around the venue (i.e. lots of restaurants, hotels, etc.) Parking was $30 if I remember. And the show is inside the venue!

 

Chicago does not typically have a main stage in the amphitheatre. I think that has only happened once or twice in the 14 years I have attended the Chicago date.

Parking is always free.

 

The Denver date also had the Transform stage, which was literally just a tent with some production in it. It always had people watching, but I never stopped to check it out. The schedule had 2 special guests listed for there, one at 2:40 and one at 5:00. Anyone know who they were?

Yesterday was a lot of fun, even if I wasn't super into the lineup. I skipped ETID cuz my girlfriend was feeling sick and needed to rest, so I was a little bummed there. Anyways, I saw:
In Hearts Wake
Twizted (cuz we wanted to hang out in the Monster truck)
This Wild Life
Don Broco (best set of the day)
Four Year Strong
Senses Fail
Sharptooth
Kublai Khan
Palaye Royale/Unearth/We the Kings
The Amity Affliction
The Used
Falling in Reverse (had nothing else to do)
Mayday Parade
Simple Plan

 

I'd recommend donating the cans. only way I've gotten in to Tinley Park on time every year. Traffic always gets pretty bad too since there are only like one or two ways going into the amphitheatre and Chicago is always packed. In my experience the main stages are in the parking lot with side stages in the amp.

 

Patty Walters came out & sang with Grayscale yesterday, does anyone know if this has happened at any of the other dates?

 

Last year I donated the cans but couldn't find the actual advance line.

There's always a super long line that leads out to the parking lot at my date, but a bunch of shorter lines/mobs closer to the main entrance that aren't visible from the parking lot.

 

Not gonna lie, yesterday was rough. The crowds were honesty way too big to enjoy the bands in my opinion and the water line was so long that people just kept buying new water bottles instead of waiting for like 20-30 minutes for a refill. Then I ended up leaving around 7 because we started feeling sick, but I did hear the Used playing from the parking lot, and I guess they started playing Pretty Handsome Awkward!
