Warped Tour 2016 Festival • Page 65

2009 was my last year before taking a 4 year break from Warped. Such an awesome lineup.

I saw:

Scary Kids Scaring Kids
Gallows
Silverstein
Longway
In This Moment
NOFX
Broadway Calls
Bayside
Senses Fail
Alexisonfire

 

I was there too. The crowd for Mayday was huge also. It was so hot.

 

Anyone have the schedule from today? Haven't been able to find it and Reddit hasn't posted one either.

 

Since we are reminiscing about past Warped Tours and CIWWAF just announced a tour...


I am reading the NFG book and they have a bunch of old tour posters in it. Here are the bands on the first three lines of the Warped Tour 2007 poster.

Bad Religion
Tiger Army
Cute is What We Aim For
Paramore

Coheed and Cambria
Killswitch Engage
Chandos
Underoath

New Found Glory
The Starting Line
Pennywise
Circa Survive

Crazy that CIWWAF was bigger than Paramore at one point.

 

2007 was my first Warped and I had the time of my life as a 16-year-old. At least four of my favorite bands were on the lineup and I didn't have many conflicts (except for my friend making me see Escape The Fate while NFG was playing, but I try to block that from my memory). I stuck around the main stage for the most part but I got to see a pretty good lineup that day.

The Spill Canvas
Funeral For a Friend
Tiger Army
Pennywise
Coheed & Cambria
The Matches
Killswitch Engage
Bayside
The Unseen
Bad Religion

I remember sprinting from one mainstage to the other after FFAF finished so I could get a good spot for Tiger Army.

 

This Sunday will be my 11th straight year attending. I'm too old for this shit.

 

I'm gonna try that biggest/smallest crowd puller guesses thing on each stage since I didn't get to before:

Journeys Left Foot

Biggest: Sum 41 or Falling In Reverse

Smallest: Reel Big Fish

Journeys Right Foot

Biggest: Sleeping with Sirens

Smallest: Pepper or The Maine

Monster North

Biggest: Motionless In White or Crown the Empire

Smallest: Wage War

Monster South

Biggest: Chelsea Grin

Smallest: Coldrain or From Ashes To New

Poseidon

Biggest: Knuckle Puck or I See Stars

Smallest: The Heirs?

Cyclops

Biggest: Chunk! No, Captain Chunk! or Ghost Town

Smallest: Assuming We Survive

Full Sail

Biggest: Broadside

Smallest: Reckless Serenade?

 

13th year in a row for me next week. Never too old.

 

I'll be at the 7/16 date, Merriweather Post Pavilion. Praying for no rain, a morning storm last year made the schedule a mess, but anyway here's my list:

Must-See:
Knuckle Puck(I don't think I'll ever get sick of seeing these guys, I think it'll be my 5th time)
Broadside

Want to see:
The Story so Far
Four Year Strong
Real Friends
Like Pacific
State Champs
Emarosa

Will see if time:
Safe to Say
Too Close to Touch
New Found Glory
Every Time I Die
With Confidence
The Maine

I'll probably end up seeing Sleeping with Sirens/Tonight Alive/Mayday Parade with my girlfriend unless there is a major schedule confliction.

 

This will be my 13th year straight and this is probably the most excited I have ever been about it.

 

This year was my 12th and probably my favorite Warped experience besides 2007, 2009, and 2013.

 

I'll be at the MD date as well! I probably won't be at the main stage too much since I spent the entire VA Beach date there. I want to see a bunch of Cyclops/Poseidon bands (Emarosa, Against The Current, Waterparks, Sykes, Knuckle Puck, Young Guns), but Broadside and Hail The Sun make me a little nervous conflict-wise.

Also this is my 9th year, but this will be my 14th Warped show since I've doubled up since 2012.

 

Schedule worked really well in my favor today and I ended up catching everyone I wanted to see, aside from a conflict that had me sit out Reel Big Fish.

Pepper
Mayday Parade
Four Year Strong
Teenage Bottlerocket
We the Kings
Real Friends
Less Than Jake
State Champs
Knuckle Puck (Second half of set)
The Maine
Sum 41
New Found Glory
Broadside
Yellowcard (Second half of set)
The Story So Far

 

Man Overboard is incredbly hit or miss. I saw them 6 times while they were together, twice headlining, four times as a supporting band. Their headlining sets were both a lot of fun, but their support sets are incredibly unmemorable.

As far as Worst Warped Bands of all-time goes, I've got a pretty great contender.

 

JUST GOT PA-A-A-A-A-AID
LET'S GET LA-A-A-A-A-AID

 

Going to the show today made me realize how bummed out I'm going to be about next year's lineup. There's going to be a decent amount of bands I like, but this year had a large amount of bands I love. This lineup set the bar really high for me personally.

 

I know how you feel. This year's lineup is so stacked. The only bands I like that could play next year would be TWY, Simple Plan, Forever Came Calling, Hawthorne Heights, and TBS. Granted I would still go but I don't know if my buddy who goes with me every year would go next year.

 

The 2011/13/15 rotation is pretty lame to be honest.

 

Exactly. Any of my first seven must-see bands this year would be number one next year if any of them were to be in the lineup

 

Do you have a picture of the schedule from today with you by chance?

 

Here's a question: I have a few bands I put on my list to hopefully check out, but I'm still on the fence. Can anyone make a case for Atreyu, Bullet for My Valentine or Motionless in White to say check them out?

 

I mean Atreyu always kills it live, bullet has been played fairly heavy with songs from their album the poison which most would agree is a great metal album. I personally haven't seen them live since 2009.

 

I've seen Motionless In White once every year since 2013 and they have progressively been better and better each time I've seen them. Chris is just as good if not better with his vocals live as he is on record, Ghost (their bass player) is always super entertaining with his mannerisms and costumes.

 

I'm probably going to be around the Monster Stages if I go on Saturday and need to kill time. I didn't know about half the lineup last year but I found out about some really cool bands from hanging around that stage most of the day (Being As An Ocean, Hundredth, '68, Amity Affliction). Most of the bands I want to see are playing there anyway.

 

Do you still need a pic. I have been looking all day just found one
