Warped Tour 2018: The Final Cross-Country Trek Tour • Page 122

Tomorrow is my date!

 

Yeah, the setup at the Pepsi Center sucks. There isn't enough room up front of each stage, so people get crammed in. As for the water, there was a center line that moved way quicker...aka you essentially avoided the massive lines come from the left and right of the refill station. Either way, it wasn't enough. Definitely needed 3-4 more stations around the space.

 

Senses Fail confirmed on Twitter they’re playing all dates except Ohio.

 

So they are now on Minnesota and Wisconsin? any idea why they are announcing this now?

 

They announced they're playing MN and WI on Friday

 

did they play come undone and is that why Patty came out?

 

That's what I'm assuming, a girl I follow on Twitter posted about it

 

Islander was kicked off of Warped after one date for putting a dent in the drum set all the Full Sail bands are using (their singer "jumped into it when they were taken over by pure punk rock energy"). They seemed super apologetic but still kind of shitty.

 

That has to be one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever heard

Warped should’ve known about their live show and how their singer does crazy stunts. That’s Warped’s fault

There’s also so many better ways it could’ve been handled rather than just kicking them off the tour completely. That absolutely sucks

How many other dates were they set to play?

 

He came out and sang at the end of fever dream.

 

I mean it is what it is, but if you know that band it sucks. They have been trying to get on warped for years, and it was one of their bucket list goals as a band for them. So much so that when they found out this was the last year they essentially begged to get on, are playing for free (yes I know there are others but they are probably the biggest band playing for free) and they turned down at least one tour I know of because it interfered with the warped dates, as few as there were. Just sucks

 

Prolly shouldn't fuck with equipment you don't own.

 

They were supposed to play until the 8th.

 

Very redicolous get kicked of a tour for that reason

 

True, but I'm sure they are used to playing hundreds of gigs with their own equipment and he forgot, especially since it was their first date on Warped. I could easily see how that could happen.

 

Also, Islander played Mayhem in 2014, another festival that Kevin runs. You think he'd have known that booking them previously? Still though, if the band could just replace or fix the equipment, I don't see why they couldn't still play?

 

Nah I agree it's pretty crazy they got kicked off for that. Seems like an easy(ish) fix/replacement. Feel like there maybe had to have been hard feelings over something else?

 

islander almost had a moment but it's pretty depressing now

 

I'm going to keep fooling myself into thinking Rise Against will be a surprise guest tomorrow right up until I get there and see they're not on the schedule

 

Trash boat posted a statement on their instagram story saying that they tried to get a bus to Denver but that bus also broke down. They are renting a vehicle to get to Kansas but will not make it to the St. Louis date.

 

I just need to vent my frustrations for a minute about the Denver date yesterday. Pepsi Center parking lot was WAY too small for the crowd that showed up, could hardly move from one stage to another. There were quite a few bands where you literally couldn't get any closer than a thousand feet from the stage. All the carts ran out of water by mid-day and after talking to a few of the people running them, they all said they were waiting for an hour or more for the venue to come by and supply more. They had a free refill station but the lines for those were so long you could spend your entire day there (probably because they kept running out of bottled water??) I got my ticket months ago during that Ticketmaster sale so they were only $20 and that was really the only reason I went, but I know some people spent $60-80 at the box office and I would be pissed if I paid that much for how much of a shit show it was (I know that's still not a ton of money for a festival but I remember Warped used to be like $25 at the box office.) I'm glad this will be the last year of Warped if in an alternate universe Denver were to continue having it at Pepsi Center because they are not equipped to handle it.

 

Man, Tinley Park is going to be a nightmare

 

The SLC date crowd was the biggest I've ever seen it, but thankfully is was the coolest out (79 degrees was the high) its been, too.

Getting between the main stages and all the other stages was pretty rough, so it's a good thing most of the bands we wanted to see were on the Monster stages, and we just stuck around there all day and had a pretty nice time. In Hearts Wake got bumped up to the main stage at 11:00am, but there were still a lot of people in line at that time, so it wasn't too crowded yet. We also caught The Used from the back of the crowd on the main stage before heading out, so things worked out nicely for us.

 

I’m getting worried how the Tampa date is going to be. Still pisssd they moved it out of Vinoy Park for last year. Vinoy Park was the perfect venue for Warped and I have feeling the Amphitheatre won’t be able to handle it

 

Man I know, Vinoy Park was the shit. I've only been there once but my friends and I traveled there from Alabama like 4-5 years ago and it was the best Warped I've ever been to. I'm very scare about Nashville and Atlanta this year, hopefully they have enough room although Atlanta is always a shitshow.
