Warped Tour 2017 Predicted Lineup Tour • Page 66

A lot of these KTM "predictions" or "leaks" are insane. Black craft cult are really selective in the bands they endorse and half if not more they wouldn't touch, regardless if they just gave money for a random stage.

The list has a BUNCH of bands that aren't doing it but they also have several that are 100% correct.

Taylor's account should have his name by it.

 

Taylor gives some great insight:


Why cut 25 bands? My favorite part of Warped Tour is seeing the bands that are C tier bands trying to grow their band

Taylor Lumley - Beartooth (Guitarist)

• Because they can't afford it. Has nothing to do with bands. They cut down on stages. On top of paying 8-10 bands on each stage, you also have to pay for a stage crew (sound guy, monitor guy, stage manager, truck manager and a drive for the stage and equipment truck) on top of having to spend money on generators and fuel to power said stage.
  
  TL;DR It's expensive.
  

 

Oh, okay. I wasn't sure because I can back the trying to get away from Warped. I saw Mat do a solo show back in October, after the show I talked to him and he said he didn't think they'd do Warped again. I can't remember his exact words but he said twice was enough. Lol.

 

Gwar seems really far fetched, just with the fact that they have lots of members in the band and the props that they use (also they stopped doing the fake blood that way it wouldn't ruin their costumes). Also being in those costumes almost every day in the summer heat, I don't see how they could survive in those costumes with how hot days at Warped Tour can be. I just think Gwar would cost a lot of money.

 

All it said is GWAR is on, didn't say for how long. I could see them doing a very short run

 

Any chance this is the year we get a full run from Flocka? Or another bigish rapper?

 

Realistically, I could Riff Raff or Mod Sun doing it again. Maybe Call Me Karizma because he's been gaining buzz. Also, this might might be a stretch, but MGK?

 

Get some Danny Brown up in this bitch.

 

Interesting to see Lagwagon's name on there as a possibility... I recall Joey saying something about how they wouldn't ever bother doing that tour anymore because it was such a grind with minimal payoff for them in the end.

But, I guess, if it's true that there's going to be more "old school" bands they might have been enticed because they'd be playing with friends again.

 

Earl Sweatshirt or Tyler the Creator should play lol

 

Would love to have had them on in the early 2010s when OFWGKTA was getting huge

 

Wage War just announced a tour with Every Time I Die in April/May. Granted those are mostly B/C market dates, I would still count Wage War in for Warped still since I know someone confirmed them a few pages back.

 

Thats was me. I'll say the source again so people know, guy in local band told me they were on. Something about they were on Warped 2016 during the end of their promotion for Blueprints and they want to really promote the new album at the beginning of the cylce this time.

 

Here's my little prediction as of right now. I've gone through practically every page of this forum, and gathered info from other sources. I'm sure I've probably forgotten to include a "locked" band or added one that we've determined isn't playing, but this is my list as it stands.

- Escape The Fate
- Silverstein
- Sirens & Sailors

OTHER STAGE(S)
- Neck Deep

- Courage My Love
- Too Close To Touch
- Waterparks

- Seaway
- Our Last Night

I'd count out: Descedents, The Lawrence Arms, Joyce Manor, The Menzingers, Pianos, Touche Amore & Dead To Me for sure.

Also Less Than Jake signed to Pure Noise

 

Maybe NOFX as an old school stage band doing a run after the stuff they already have planned late june

 

Also, pretty sure the Larry Arms are banned from Warped Tour for an incident back in the early 2000s. Hah. Forgot that Face To Face were a Fat Wreck band. They're doing that cruise, so... Strong possibility there.

If that count of five Fat bands is accurate, then it's really "four other Fat bands" because Lagwagon is a Fat band. Pretty convinced that, if that holds true, it's going to be either NOFX or Me First + three of the "baby Fat" bands.

 

I had Direct Hit in my prediction even before the punk thing came up. They seem like a prime candidate to be the Masked Intruder type band on a smaller stage this year. And I'm really leaning towards Face To Face being there.

 

count out saywecanfly just announced a may tour or so

 

Yep they are banned haha

 

I talked a guy who does merch for Direct Hit and he said they all have families and can't tour for more than a few weeks. He also told me that FYS was going to add a second Chicago show at a smaller venue and that happened to be right.
