Warped Tour 2017 Predicted Lineup Tour • Page 147

Well those same people on here who constantly complain about a lack of bands with females, people of color, and LGTBQ members had no intention of going to Warped in the first place. I won't name names. They're not going to Bled Fest either. You just have to ignore them.

 

Good point. I hold my values pretty highly but there's definitely some people who take things a little too far for me around here. The conversations in the past few days about the Moose Blood ordeal and Attila being on Warped have been brutal.

 

I totally agree, it definitely feels like there is no winning.

 

My sister is big into pop punk and pop rock and she actually likes this lineup she didn't complain I agree with you guys Kevin did a hell of a job this year but people arent used to changes or something different

 

I think they'll have a local play first on the stage with 8 bands to even it out.

 

Big bummer about no Bad Religion, Lagwagon, Parkway Drive or Escape The Fate (each of those would have been HUGE for me) but still, the lineup looks like one of the most diverse and unique ones in a long time. The undercard in terms of bands I hadn't heard of seems huge and from the quick listen I gave to them there are gonna be a lot of great unknown bands out there this year. Awesome!

 

Even with a local band, that's what 9? Isn't there usually around 11? And if they are pulling up almost 4 bands a day isn't that going to leave openings for other stages?

 

They will. You are right. I saw something about it on Facebook. They did it last year too.

 

I think I just need to go through and listen to everyone I don't know to see if there's actually any hidden gems in there. Because at this point, only 2 of the bands I want to see are playing my date, which isn't close to enough for me to want to go this year.

 

Must See:
Boston Manor
Trophy Eyes
Movements
Creeper
Neck Deep
The Ataris
Microwave
The Gospel Youth

Might see:
Silverstein
Hawthorne Heights
Our Last Night
Save Ferris
Dance Gavin Dance

 

Everyone should just be grateful that theres no EDM stage this year

 

You know I think it's gonna sell well dude, my metal friends who normally gave me tons of shit are like we need to go. 2016 was the pop punk year. This year is the heavy year. I'm willing to bet 2018 will be awesome for pop punk fans.

 

This is kind of what I'm thinking as well! As much as I don't necessarily like the lineup, I get the sentiment behind it.

 

I think it will sell just fine. I've already had like 6 friends who haven't been to Warped in 5+ years message me on Facebook saying they're excited to go back this year.

Of all the music communities I follow online, here and Alt Press are the only ones who seem upset with this lineup. All the Metal and Punk Rock sites are loving it.

 

I think it will sell just fine. It will definitely be a different crowd than previous years. I would expect Monster to be packed all day and the other stages to be pretty empty.

 

If you need some help

 

And I'm optimistic about next year being good too. A lot of Kevin's usual big names who played in either 2015 or 2016 (Senses Fail, August Burns Red, Less Than Jake, Reel Big Fish, State Champs, Every Time I Die, As It Is) should be available. If you combine that with the possibility of some older bands again like this year, 2018 could be outstanding.

 

This guy gets it.

And so does this guy.

 

Glad you guys are cool with bands sexually harassing people and festivals giving platforms to problematic people.

 

I love this website

 

You definitely missed the point.

 

My priority bands:
Anti-Flag
CKy
GWAR
Adolescents
BlessTheFall
Silverstein
Boston Manor
Trophy Eyes
Being as An Ocean
Microwave
Gospel Youth
Movements
Alestorm
William Control
Hawthorne Heights
Andy Black

And if I even have extra time I'm gonna throw a rock at Fronz's stupid fucking head.

 

I was expecting a comment like this and I feel like you don't understand where our comments are coming from. In no way, shape or form am I ok with anyone, be it band members or not, sexually harassing anyone else. But there's a limit how sensitive people have become imo. Using the "c-word" in lyrics and sexually harassing underage girls are completely different things. Do I agree with some of the messages some of the bands share, absolutely not. Do I feel like boycotting a festival that does a TON of good things, not only for our scene but the world as a whole, absolutely not.

 

All I have to say is that you vote with your dollar, if you don't like how something is going, do not support it financially. Which is what I will be doing. You guys are more than free to do whatever you want, but the only way to change things is financially, that is the only way big companies and things of this large nature listen. To say boycotts don't work is just factually inaccurate.

 

I typed a mini novel in response to that last page but trying to point out ignorance to certain members on this site has proven fruitless in the past.

The amount of ignorance in those comments is astounding.

Also, the C-word was historically used to degrade and demean women, so yes, it's an issue that bands still use that word, and it's also an issue that Attila uses the f-slur in a good chunk of their songs.
