Tour Prediction and Speculation Thread [ARCHIVED] Tour • Page 2446

I went from 07-11, then I think 13-14.

 

I went to Warped Tour from 1999-2010 (with the exception of 2007). Reflecting back, I think my first and last years are easily in my top five favorite line-ups from all the years I went. Maybe even top three.

In hindsight, it was truly wild watching the tour evolve from the first year I went up through 2010. And it was wild to see where it went from there (from a distance).

 

2003
2005
2006
2007
2008
2009
2010
2013
2015
2016
2018

 

i went every year from 2009 to 2018 except i think 2017. i miss it dearly. the last band i saw was knuckle puck and i still get a bit emotional and nostalgic when i listen to them

 

I bet it will come back. With all the money being thrown around for festivals and touring right now? And emo/punk nostalgia? It feels like that is for lovers fest is like “yo if warped ain’t going to cash in, we will!”

 

I'm happy for all of you but I went once, in 2014, and it wasn't that great

 

guess we're all just built different

 

only festival I've ever gone to. Middle of summer, in Dallas. Had to get up early to drive the 3 hours there, got home late, at one point there was no one I wanted to see playing so we sat in the amphitheater and I remember dozing off lol

 

Went in 05 and 10. 2005 lineup was insane.

 

I remember enjoying this year quite a bit, but any year with Every Time I Die or August Burns Red was great to me lol

sleeping in the ampitheatre is a pro move. i definitely did that more than one year while like hawthorne heights or someone was playing lmfao

 

I think maybe Volumes was on-stage at the time?

 

good band to sleep through

 

Going to Warped in Texas or any hot climate sounds like hell lol I’m lucky most years it was pretty comfortable in Portland.

 

Salt Lake City was usually high 80s-mid 90s during Warped Tour, which wasn’t great. There was a little bit of shade in places here and there, and free water fountains. So that helped.

 

Dallas was the closest to Oklahoma City, I think in 2015 or 2016 they actually did have an OKC date but I was probably working or something, since I didn't go

 

My Warped date was Ventura, CA which was always a blessing since the venue was literally right next to the water. Weather was always amazing and maybe mid-70’s at most. I was bummed when they stopped hitting up Ventura since that was the closest date to my hometown. I had to start doing Pomona which sucked (a 3.5 hour drive instead of a 1.5 hour drive) since I wasn’t prepped for super hot weather. Still worth it tho.

I did Pomona in 2018 since I had already moved to OC at that point. Wanted to do Ventura too for the sentimental factor (and since it was the only date with TBS), but it didn’t work out

 

2014 in Atlanta, 2015 in Orlando & 2018 in Atlanta for me.

was suppose to go in 2017 but the New Orleans date was cancelled two weeks before the date. me & my friend couldn’t make Atlanta work for our schedules so we didn’t go at all that year.

 

Wildest Warped Tour sets I saw were Green Day in '00, FOB/MCR in 05, The Used in 03, TBS in 04. Just insane crowds for a those tiny stages.

 

Speaking of things like Hawthorne Heights and shitty Warped Tour's past that people have nostalgia for.

 

I think I did like 5 or 6 warped tours before I called it quit

but it was Fresno, Mountain View and then the Sacramento one

 

I think Saliva no longer has their original lead singer, no?

 

I think their guitarist died. I get them mixed up with Drowning Pool whose singer died in like 2002.

 

Warped Tour 2003 was the wildest line-up for me in terms of what was happening in the zeitgeist at the time. A lot of side-stage bands starting to blow up (Yellowcard, Brand New, All-American Rejects, Coheed) as well as a few of the main stage acts (Thrice was growing, the Ataris were on top 40, and '03 was the year the Murphys were really starting to pop in a more mainstream way in MA).

2004 was wild too but that feels like cheating since MA got two days that year. Day #1 was the "regular" tour and day #2 was the "10-year" version But the MA date cheated a bit in 2004 because it was two days, with day #2 being the "10-year anniversary" line-up which was aggressively stacked (and that line-up is missing a few stages, actually; H2O, Strung Out, Talib Kwelli, Atmosphere, and a few others also played).

 

I think the best, overall, Warped lineup in the years I went to was Detroit 2016.

Atreyu, Bullet for My Valentine, Every Time I Die, Good Charlotte, Less Than Jake, The Maine, Mayday Parade, New Found Glory, Reel Big Fish, State Champs, Sum 41, We the Kings, Yellowcard, and 3OH!3. I would've watched Real Friends, but they played at 8:30 and I was exhausted.
