Wierd tour lineups these days?

[i_am_sexy]

Wierdest lineup ever in my opinion is
Miss May I
Iwrestledabearonce
and Of Machines

they should be announcing it either this month or next month.
its a december, east coast tour.

My favorite band(of machines) on tour with my least favorite band(iwrestledabearonce).
lmao

what are some of the wierdest tour lineups you have seen/heard of lately?

[CollectiveConfusion]

i haven't heard any of those bands.

[FullCollaspe]

Not that weird that bad bands tour together

[voncorn]

How is that a weird lineup? Those bands all belong together pretty nicely, because they're all shit.

Edit: I was beaten.

[i_am_sexy]

not wierd in a negative way, but bands of different genres touring together sorta :)

[Andy Young]

Weirdest I've been to was:
Scary Kids Scaring Kids
Boys Night Out
The Dear Hunter
Pierce the Veil

It's obvious who the sore thumb is in that lineup.

[only the clouds]

Once Haste the Day toured with Brokencyde. I still can't figure that one out.

[bladerdude360]

*Weird.

[mike25]

transition on tour with reel big fish and streetlight manifesto. The crowd did not take well to them at all.

[You Won't Know]

The Used, Almost and Drive By (?)

I guess the new Used album is so mid tempo that it makes sense on that level though.

[screamoutmyname]

just because your favorite and least favorite band are touring together doesn't make it weird.

i think, judging by their names and what i know of them, they fit fairly well together on tour.

EDIT: also, one of saves the day's first tours was with bane. a bit strange, but i kind of understand it.

[muttley]

I once saw The Pink Spiders play with The Reign Of Kindo.

[sweepthenation]

Anberlin, Scary Kids Scaring Kids, A Straylight Run, There For Tomorrow.

Now THAT was wierd

[OMGitsAndrew]

One weird one I went to was:

Chiodos
Motion City Soundtrack
Hit the Lights
Person L

[murrich]

William Elliot Whitmore and Converge I guess.

[tyramail]

that's not that weird haha. i think the pactour is weird, but not in a bad way. it's a pretty good mixture.

[trevorshmevor]

Remember back in 2001 when Glassjaw and NFG toured together? If I'm not mistaken, The Movielife was on that one too.

[HometownHero]

Three shitty "screamo" or "metal" bands touring together. How odd! The weirdest for me was when some all girl joke rap group from Canada opened for Tegan & Sara. Odd to say the least

[apresnuledeluge]

The Thursday, Dillinger, Fake Problems tour is pretty off the wall.

[A7XXX]

The current AP Fall Ball has Set Your Goals on it which they don't quite fit.
A few years ago Emery toured with Pierce The Veil and Mayday Parade
The Taste of Chaos tour for 09 seemed to be a bunch of bands with no connection thrown in together too.

[friskycurtain]

I think NFG and Dashboard is a bit wacko

[CalRahhh]

Converge, Mastodon, Dethklok, and High On Fire.

I also saw a poster for a show that had GWAR and Cattle Decapitation together.

[ZachMadeMeOdd]

Can't believe no one said Warped Tour 09' yet.

[xmicxcorex]

*Weird.

Thank you.

I was about to note: Also weird is your spelling of weird.

I believe this word is one of the few instances where the "I before E except after C or when sounding like A as in neighbor or weigh" does not apply.

Unless I've been mispronouncing it my entire life and it's actually "wAYrd", I do not believe, however, that this is the case.

And all those bands blow anyways; if you're going to listen to metal/grind/hardcore, listen to The Number Twelve Looks Like You or the likes, at least they have valid cred. And if you're going to listen to shitty grind in an attempt to enjoy it (at least for the lolz) listen to Ed Gein.

[the daniel]

AFI with Gallows

[Jack Appleby]

The current AP Fall Ball has Set Your Goals on it which they don't quite fit.
A few years ago Emery toured with Pierce The Veil and Mayday Parade
The Taste of Chaos tour for 09 seemed to be a bunch of bands with no connection thrown in together too.

I enjoyed this tour. Cry Of The Afflicted opened too, making Mayday look REALLY weird with the rest of them. Oddly enough, of the 3 times I've seen the band, this was the best.

[Zachariaahh]

another thread where everyone talks crap about the bands listed and misses the point of the thread.
but of machines is no where near a horrible band. the rest are yes but no of machines.

warped 09

[MarkAndros]

Bamboozle Left was pretty weird with the top acts being Thrice, TBS, Deftones, and 50cent. (Playing in that order)

[pth231]

I'm going to see Moving Mountains later this month who are the opening band on the Say Anything tour, I think thats pretty fuckin weird.

[domotime2]

lol so far a lot of people are posting tours that arent that weird. Set Your Goals on fall ball = makes sense. NFG + Glassjaw...that's the winner so far.

I saw Jet Lag Gemini, Bomb the music industry, Suburban Legends, Whole Wheat Bread. JET LAG GEMINI WERE THE HEADLINERS! Everyone left before jet lag.

[dmobley]

a few come to mind

Saves the Day
Armor For Sleep
Metro Station

and a while back on the honda civic tour i believe

Dashboard Confessional
Thrice
The Get Up Kids

also the screaming is for babies tour

The Starting Line
Copeland
Gatsbys American Dream
Cartel

[thatwasamoment]

The Aquabats, Petty Booka, Bad Credit tour

[nerdvglc]

my weirdest concert line-up was projekt revolution with the used, snoop dog(g)?, korn and linkin park. it was a little fucked up; during the korn set a fat chick had sex in the row behind us, and some guy in his late 20's atleast put a blunt out on my brother's arm.

[Hohbomb]

Coheed & Cambria + Slipknot = What the hell?

[applesandcyanid]

How about this year's Atticus tour with Finch, Bless The Fall, Drop Dead Gorgeous, Vanna and Let's Get It? 2 scene bands, a kind of old school band, an awesome fucking band (Vanna) and a Panic! At The Disco rip off. Weird.

[yellowhouse]

William Elliot Whitmore and Converge I guess.

You win.

[chassmariee]

How is that a weird lineup? Those bands all belong together pretty nicely, because they're all shit.

Edit: I was beaten.
Yep, I can't wait for this tour! IWABO is so good live. I can't wait for Of Machines this month with DGD.
EDIT: I wasn't beaten.

[chassmariee]

I think NFG and Dashboard is a bit wacko
and with NeverShoutNever! I think it's a cute tour.

[PoisonHeartsGTX]

diversity = diverse draw = cross-over fans

[Raoul]

One gig I went to, it was pretty cool how diverse the line-up was.

Culprit One - a local DJ/MC from Cardiff, really got the fans dancing
Fleeing From Finales - a FOB-esque pop-punk band that got the crowd singing along and rocking
and then headlining was Gym Class Heroes.

A mix of genres but it all fitted together so perfectly. So I guess you could call it weird but it worked nicely.

Apart from that, FFAF and Bullet for my Valentine was a dodgy mix. Just because they're both Welsh doesn't mean they work together.

[runningfree1]

Worst one this year for me was that god awful band emmure and terror.
Kinda makes me laugh.

[BananasaurusRex]

fun. with Manchester Orchestra or fun. with Taking Back Sunday. Hm.

[chassmariee]

Worst one this year for me was that god awful band emmure and terror.
Kinda makes me laugh.
Emmure is not god awful, Terror is!

[willvc]

Worst one this year for me was that god awful band emmure and terror.
Kinda makes me laugh.

Actually they both are awful.

But Evergreen Terrace, For the Fallen Dreams, Asking Alexandria and Unholy is a pretty weird tour, mainly the last two bands.

Overall it's just a crappy tour though, outher than Evergreen Terrace.

[theartofsilence]

Weirdest I ever saw was MCR and yourcodenameismilo. Really really strange.

[NegativeCreep]

All Time Low
We The Kings
And The Friday Night Boys

....I've never heard of anything so damn weird.

[greenteaallday]

Taste of Chaos where Thursday headlined, made no fucking sense. I will never be able to get the taste of Bring Me the Horizon out of my mouth.

Thursday also toured with Heavy Heavy Low Low and fear before the march of flames, which was kinda awkward.

[FueledByRock]

Not recent, but a few years ago I saw Kanye West open for the Rolling Stones. That was pretty weird.

[UnderMyDreams]

The PacSun tour this year:

Saosin
InnerPartySystem
POS
Eye Alaska

[Poe-tryGirl]

How is that weird?

[Raoul]

Upcoming Kerrang! tour in the UK

All Time Low
The Blackout
Young Guns
& My Passion

[stealthpeng]

a lot of the things ya'll have listed really aren't that weird. I mean, a lot of the bands you're mentioning are only slightly different genres >_>
I'd say the 'weirdest' show I've been too was New Found Glory, Reggie and the Full Effect, and Eisley. It would make sense if there was one of the three bands that sounded different, but in this case, all 3 were really different, especially since this was Eisley before their first album (so, way before Combinations, which is a little heavier and would have made more sense with the other two bands), Reggie was touring for a mostly post-hardcore album (songs not to get married too) and played a lot of hard stuff, and it was Catalyst era NFG, so a lot of straight forward pop-punk. Reggie and NFG would have made sense... but adding Eisley? I mean, I love them now, but their energy is completely different than anyone expected on a pop-punk tour.

[TreyForest]

never went to it but i remember way back when straylight run first started up
they went on tour with simple plan ... kinda fucked

[shimmyshakes]

I love when different genre bands tour together. That's how it should be.

[murrich]

This Metalcore/Screamo/Electronica band toured with this Screamo/Metalcore/Electronica band, it was so weird!!!!!

[Greg.Kushlan]

Shai Hulud opening for New Found Glory in the spring was weird. I like Shai, but a metalcore band opening for 2 good pop punk acts and bayside didn't seem to make sense. I guess its why they dropped off and some other band filled in.

[fly_guy]

They've been friends for some time though, NFG and Shai

[ECZ10]

also chad of NFG used to be in shai so it makes perfect sense.

eisley was added because at the time chad of NFG was dating their lead singer.

[Drown_The_City]

Brand New and Dashboard...

[musicsavesme]

weezer and angels and airwaves....soooo bizzarre

[Jefferson Rank]

iwrestledabearonce
Enter Shikari
August Burns Red
blessthefall

I stole the tour poster.

[MyNameIsRoss]

Never heard of any of the shitty bands the OP listed..

[TotalCollapse]

The Thursday, Dillinger, Fake Problems tour is pretty off the wall.
Agreed.
Taste of Chaos where Thursday headlined, made no fucking sense. I will never be able to get the taste of Bring Me the Horizon out of my mouth.

And this.

[SwiftSilentDead]

The Mastodon/Against Me!/Cursive tour a few years ago.

[TakeLotsWithAlcohol]

Brand New and Dashboard...

This.


The weirdest I've ever been to was: Against Me!, Mastodon, Cursive, These Arms are Snakes.

[deathinkosovo]

I giggled after my friend said he went to a show with Owen/The Appleseed Cast/Copeland. The first two I can see, but Copeland? Eugh.

[stealthpeng]

eisley was added because at the time chad of NFG was dating their lead singer.
I was pretty sure they didn't start dating till after the tour, or after it had started... i Could be wrong though

[wroteurname]

Three shitty "screamo" or "metal" bands touring together. How odd! The weirdest for me was when some all girl joke rap group from Canada opened for Tegan & Sara. Odd to say the least

Dyke Fest

[runningfree1]

Actually they both are awful.

Overall it's just a crappy tour though, outher than Evergreen Terrace.

disagree with the whole terror thing.
half agree with the whole evergreen terrace tour. i like for the fallen dreams. asking alexandria is pretty bad.
i might go see this tour, i havent seen evergreen terrace in a long time. would like to see their new stuff live.

[SophGod]

rise against/alkaline trio/ thrice was pretty weird. Alkaline Trio and Rise Against go together just fine, but Thrice was a little out of place, especially considering they played before Alkaline and RA and were much better than both of them.

[IWasHerHorse]

The Mastodon/Against Me!/Cursive tour a few years ago.
These Arms Are Snakes were on that one too...weird.

I once saw, Fear Before, This Will Destroy You, Hot Cross, and 65daysofstatic, that was kind of left field.

[KoolAidMatt]

another weird Rise Against tour I saw was Sage Francis/Thursday/Rise Against

It was a good show, but the pace was very strange

[UnderMyDreams]

Never heard of any of the shitty bands the OP listed..

Then how can you say they're shitty?

[MyNameIsRoss]

Then how can you say they're shitty?


I can only assume.

[2 fly and shy]

Weezer
Tenacious D
Jimmy Eat World

and another weird Weez lineup...

Weezer
Dashboard
Sparta

[UnderMyDreams]

I can only assume.

That's pretty dumb.

[MyNameIsRoss]

That's pretty dumb.

Ok

[heynownow]

These Arms Are Snakes were on that one too...weird.

I once saw, Fear Before, This Will Destroy You, Hot Cross, and 65daysofstatic, that was kind of left field.

hot cross broke up before the tour started. i'm pretty sure it was youinseries that replaced them. i recall being extremely pissed off about the replacement.

[IWasHerHorse]

hot cross broke up before the tour started. i'm pretty sure it was youinseries that replaced them. i recall being extremely pissed off about the replacement.

Oh yeah....that did suck, not to complain about something that happened like 2-3 years ago but what a shitty replacement.

[KoolAidMatt]

AFI is doing a Canadian tour in December and at the Vancouver date they have Tegan and Sara as support..

[iloveblink182]

my buddies band fight fair (http://myspace.com/fightfair) is opening up for breathe carolina, cash cash, kill paradise and other shitty electronic bands, when they play pop punk and have breakdowns haha i dunno why their on that tour.

[Montauk1222]

I find it ironic they are on this tour after playing the "Say No To Neon Tour" this past year haha.

[iloveblink182]

I find it ironic they are on this tour after playing the "Say No To Neon Tour" this past year haha.
oh with houston calls and farewell? i went to that, didn't know it had a name

[doppelganger]

eh mine were all taken

[bard]

the locust opening for poison the well was terrible.

the locust should be headlining, with awesome opening bands.
