Ernie Ball: PLAY Warped Tour Winners: Round 3

 

Has any of the bands who win these Ernie ball things gone on to be a bigger band in the scene?

 

Yup, Pvris comes to mind

 

I'm kind of curious how that's going to work with the Ernie Ball bands playing Main Stage. Detroit, for instance, has the main stages going nonstop from 11-8:30.

 

I'm expecting the winner to open the main stage and play a 15-20 minute set, which shouldn't delay things too much. I'm also expecting some shuffling with the stage lineups depending on the date since my date according to that poster has 11 bands on Journeys Left, 8 on Journeys right, one less band on the Monster stages since we don't get Atreyu or Volumes and a few extra bands on Full Sail.

 

A Day To Remember in 2005, Blessthefall in 2006, Title Fight in 2007, Chelsea Grin in 2008, Get Scared in 2009, The Ongoing Concept and Set It Off in 2010, Courage My Love in 2011, This Wild Life in 2011 and 2012, Have Mercy in 2012

 

That's awesome. I never really followed the Ernie Ball thing before, it's cool to see it actually works out for a lot kf bands

 

And Marina City won it this year.

 

So the non winners listed above did better than the winners I remember from looking at the past few winners; Beautiful Bodies, Me Like Bees, Night Argent. Don't hear much about these lol.

 

Must see:
Sum 41
New Found Glory
Atreyu
Broadside

Want To See:
Knuckle Puck
Issues
The Word Alive
Chunk! No, Captain Chunk!
Roam
The Story So Far
3oh!3

Trying to keep my list fairly short cause there are 40+ bands I enjoy on the lineup and I won't know who I truly want to see until the day of the show besides my 4 must sees

 

ROAM just posted a picture of their passports. I wonder how many bands will miss dates because of Visa/passport issues this year!?

 

One week until the Alaska date! Excited to see what Sum 41 and State Chaps play!

 

Hopefully not as many. Wasn't there some backup with the visa system around the time the tour started last year? I think I remember it making the news.

I'll definitely be checking out these bands. I saw 7 Minutes of Heaven open for Forever Came Calling and Major League not too long ago. They were also featured in an MTV article about up and coming pop punk bands.

 

So some person tweeted that Issues sent them their setlist, and Michael retweeted it: twitter.com/Issuesfordayss/status/743131368771584001

 

If it's true, not bad. I dig it!

 

Hope that Issues setlist is true, loving the heavy amounts of Headspace on there!

 

New Found Glory posted this old schedule from Warped Tour 2001. Pretty cool that four of the bands (NFG, LTJ, GC, and Pepper) are playing Warped again 15 years later.

 

I never knew The Apex Theory did Warped. I saw them at Ozzfest 2002 and dudes were insane live. Like early Incubus crossed with At The Drive-In

 

Take out yung n dum for stingray affliction or lost n found and its amazing
