A full list of bands coming to Vans Warped Tour has been released. You can see the list here: http://www.warpedtour.com/warpedtour/bands.asp A list of dates for the tour can be seen here: http://www.warpedtour.com/warpedtour/concerts.asp?tour=66 I may go to this. The thing is, there are lots of bands that I like, but not any that I would really call myself a fan of. I'll have to see how much tickets cost.
I was just about to post this, you beat me to it by about 10 minutes haha... I'm most excited about 3OH!3, Escape the Fate, Chiodos, Saosin, A Skylit Drive, Silverstein, Senses Fail, and The White Tie Affair.
Breathe Carolina, Saosin, Scary Kids Scaring Kids, Senses Fail Im failing to see the big "headlining bands" I mean usually there are at least some major bands that play last on the main stages... I'll prbly be at the Va Beach regardless of the bands though considering its fun no matter who's playing and if you preorder tickets, its really not more than like 20-30 bucks...
Keep in mind more bands will be added to the overall lineup. Based on the bands announced, disregarding whether they'll be in Cleveland or not, I'm looking forward to these bands: 3OH!3, A Day to Remember, A Skylit Drive, Alexisonfire, Bouncing Souls, Breathe Carolina, Chiodos, Dance Gavin Dance, Escape the Fate, Flogging Molly, Hit the Lights, Lights, Saosin, Scary Kids Scaring Kids, Senses Fail, Silverstein, The Ataris, The Devil Wears Prada, There for Tomorrow, Therefore I Am, Thrice, and Underoath. And I won't lie, I'm looking forward to Lights the most. I hope she's in Cleveland.
^^ Do you think that there will be any major bands added? Because right now this list has me on the edge of going or not going. Thrice, Streetlight Manifesto, and Alexisonfire seem great, however to be honest I was hoping that there would be some more famous acts there.
the devil wears prada and alexisonfire only, the rest are... I won't say anything before you guys and girls get mad
Not at all. She was there last year and she's very much a part of the "scene," given that she's a powerpop artist like The All-American Rejects, Every Avenue, and The Maine.
Oh, I didnt know that Warped had bands like that. I had assumed that it was just hardcore rock bands.
Nope, not at all. Well, I meant, it used to be, but now it's more for what's popular at the time, which is why it's recently been dominated by metalcore, post-hardcore, pop punk and powerpop acts, as opposed to the hardcore punk it was founded on.
Saosin!!!! YESSSS thank Christ they decided to do it again, before they said they hated it. They're playing new stuff also. My first warped and my second favorite band plays. Woo! I reallly hope they play full summer.
Aw, no Paramore. This list has some good stuff, but I'm still on the diving line of whether I wanna shell out money for this or not. I mean acts like Cobra Starship, Angels & Airwaves, Paramore and Story Of The Year last year made this a must-go but I don't see too many headliners.
For those who have been to Warped before, how rowdy does it usually get? Also, does everything just turn into a random mosh pit? Because my parents dont want me to go if it will be dangerous.
It doesn't get too rowdy at all. There's generally lots of security around everywhere. There was a fight last year broken up in less than 15 seconds, so you don't have to worry about that. As far as mosh pits go, stay out of the "middle" when you're watching a band that you think people would mosh to. Get as close to the front as you can (but watch out for crowd surfers) or stay in the back or off to the sides. The pits can get HUGE, so be weary.
