Finally going for the first time this year. What are Charlotte crowds usually like? Also, i paid the 5 dollars for skip the line, guess it was a good decision according to Steve.

Kevin Skaff from A Day to Remember just posted on twitter that he'll be at Warped in Orlando. Is this something he's doing by himself or is ADTR doing a guest set? Somebody from Florida might know

Went to the Atlanta date today. My wife, for the 2nd time going in a row, got sick from the heat and we had to leave early. REALLY irritating. I love her with everything I have, but dang it woman; TWICE!

I was able to catch Yellowcard(played first), Of Mice & Men, The Ghost Inside, Blessthefall(didn't really want to but they played in the shade), some of Lostprophets, 1 song of Four Year Strong, and Every Time I Die(was not leaving without seeing them).

We ended up missing Fireworks, Senses Fail, New Found Glory, TBS, ATL, plus whatever else we could.


They changed up the layout of the stages and where everthing was. It was TERRIBLE. In past years all the stages have been in the paved parking lots of the venue. This year, they put them all on the shitty, nasty, half-assed gravel/dirt parking lot on the other side. All the stages(except for Kia Rio which was in the amphitheater) and the merch tents were all crammed into this small area. It was a terrible layout and dust was flying around everywhere that there was a crowd moving. Crowd control was terrible as well. Trying to move from one area to the next you had to basically go through the crowds at a couple of the stages to get somewhere.

Just got back from Atlanta Warped Tour. I always love reading them, so I figured I would write a long review.

The line to get in was really confusing at first with the skip the line and everything, but once everyone figured it out it seemed to move pretty smoothly. Doors opened around 11:30 and by the time we got inside and got schedules it was around 11:45. Yellowcard was up first at 11:55 on Kia Soul. They played the same set they've been playing recently, with Way Away replacing For You and Your Denial. They sounded so good, as usual. I really liked their setlist; I enjoyed every song. We Are the In Crowd got bumped to Kia Rio, which was in the amphitheater, but we elected to miss them to get a good spot for Mayday Parade at 12:50. At first, my friend and I were kind of off to the side and far back, and the sound seemed really quiet, but once we got closer and more centered, everything sounded fine. Mayday sounded good. The crowd went nuts for Jamie All Over. After Mayday, we went over to Kia Soul to catch the last 3 songs from Of Mice & Men . Austin sounds amazing live, and the new clean vocalist is fantastic. Everything sounded great, and they did a wall of death (I think) during Product of a Murderer. It may have just been a really big pit though. After that, we had a little downtime, so we picked up some merch and headed back to Kia Soul for We the Kings. I cannot stress this enough. We the Kings kicked. ass. Whether you like 1 or 2 or all of their albums, they should move up on your priority list. I did not expect the energy to be so high, but the setlist was great, and they sounded fantastic. Jumping and loud singing for every single song. The new song, Party, Fun, Love, and Radio, sound a lot better live than on the record, as did a lot of their songs. They played the same setlist, and if anyone was curious, We'll Be a Dream is the song that got replaced by "The Middle". Then we had a good bit of downtime, so we checked out some merch, got passes for All Time Low's signing, and heard pieces of Four Year Strong, (sounded better than I remembered from 2010) Title Fight, (I really just don't like them) Lostprophets, (sounded pretty solid) I Call Fives, (sounded good) and Streetlight Manifesto, who also sounded pretty good. At 4:20, I went over to the Ernie Ball stage to see Chunk! No, Captain Chunk!. I totally agree with what some people have said recently on here. Their crowd is full of energy, the band sounds great live, and they're just pretty cool guys. They played the same set they've been playing too. Crowd went apeshit for Born for Adversity, We R Who We R, and In Friends We Trust. After that, I got in line for the ATL signing. Had to wait about a half hour, but got to hear NFG play Basket Case and My Friends Over You, see basically all of Born of Osiris, and hear some of Twin Atlantic. Twin Atlantic sounded solid, as did NFG, Couldn't hear BOO that well, I could just hear enough to tell it was them. Met ATL, which was awesome, then went to the amphitheater for Miss May I. I stopped to get a shirt on the way and wound up hearing about 10 minutes of Falling in Reverse. Honestly, they sound pretty solid live; the music just isn't my thing. Saw Miss May I play their first 3 songs, and they sounded really good. Then headed over to Sleeping with Sirens for my 2nd favorite set of the day. They sounded really good, the crowd was awesome, and I crowd surfed during James Dean. Then hauled ass to the amp. to see Pierce the Veil. Managed to get into the pit 4 songs into their set. Kellin didn't come out for king for a day since SWS had just gotten done playing, but PTV sounded really solid and Vic absolutely nailed Kellin's part in king for a day. Last band of the day was my favorite band, All Time Low. They sounded just as good as they always do. Alex's voice is incredible live, the crowd was insane, but in a good way. Lots of crowd surfing, and some cool pits during Heroes, Reckless and the Brave, and Jasey Rae. Perfect way to end an amazing day.

Don't miss out on: All Time Low, Sleeping with Sirens, We the Kings, Chunk! No, Captain Chunk!
Amphitheater stage: Kia Rio
Bands Bumped Up: We Are the In Crowd, T. Mills, Blessthefall

If you read this all, you're awesome haha, and if anyone has any questions about any of the bands I mentioned, or Warped in general, I'd be glad to help you out.

I agree about the layout 100%. But Lyman said they had to change it due to noise complaints last year. My feet are killing me extra hard for walking on dirt and rocks all day haha and every mosh pit turned into the freaking dust bowl.

So yesterday I attended the Atlanta date as well, as stated before the line was so unorganized and the new layout of the venue was confusing. We ended up getting pretty far up in the line and got in right at doors though, rushed to get a schedule and got to the vans tent for the first 200 people free stuff. After that we got into the crowd for Yellowcard, we ended up getting 2nd row and they sounded amazing. We left our spot during Only One to go find some friends who were somewhere else in the crowd, but as soon as we got out of the crowd we found Michael and Tyler ex Woe, is Me members. We explored for awhile and then came back and watched Of Mice & Men, who were awesome, Austin made us take a knee in honor of the girl who got hurt last week, saying that "We were all an OM&M family." We then went to the New Found Glory signing and met them, really cool guys. Headed back to the Soul stage again to see We The Kings, ended up 3rd row, and it was a really fun set. Then we went and got in line for Taking Back Sunday's signing; really cool guys. We walked around some more, heard some of Four Year Strong from a distance, and some of I Call Fives I think, both sounded pretty good. Got back in line for the All time Low signing and listened to The Silver Comet in line, and after they got off you could hear New Found Glory from a distance, and then we watched Twin Atlantic too. By this point everyone in my group were so tired of the heat we decided just to go chill in the monster lounge while waiting for Falling in Reverse, saw a few songs by them and Ronnie sounded spot on live. We then met Twin Atlantic, who were all very nice. Then, I went alone to Taking Back Sunday and got around the 5th row or so, they were one of the biggest reasons for me going to warped, and they did not disappoint, Adam was amazing live, and it was so good seeing the original line up back together. I ended up getting up to the barrier at the end of the set and asked the security guy for a setlist, and ended up getting Eddie's setlist. Then I headed to the amphitheater to see Pierce the Veil, this was the 2nd time I had seen them and they were just as good, if not better, than they were the first time I saw them. Closed out the night with All Time Low, it was a fun and awesome set, where we were everyone was singing the lyrics and dancing. I had been waiting 3 years to see them, and they did not disappoint. I had an awesome day, but as stated before my feet are killing me from walking on rocks and gravel all day. I did miss alot of bands I wanted to see including Mayday Parade, Sleeping With Sirens, Memphis May Fire, Man Overboard, and We Are The In Crowd but overall I still had an awesome day.

Went to the Atlanta date today. My wife, for the 2nd time going in a row, got sick from the heat and we had to leave early. REALLY irritating. I love her with everything I have, but dang it woman; TWICE!

I was able to catch Yellowcard(played first), Of Mice & Men, The Ghost Inside, Blessthefall(didn't really want to but they played in the shade), some of Lostprophets, 1 song of Four Year Strong, and Every Time I Die(was not leaving without seeing them).

We ended up missing Fireworks, Senses Fail, New Found Glory, TBS, ATL, plus whatever else we could.


They changed up the layout of the stages and where everthing was. It was TERRIBLE. In past years all the stages have been in the paved parking lots of the venue. This year, they put them all on the shitty, nasty, half-assed gravel/dirt parking lot on the other side. All the stages(except for Kia Rio which was in the amphitheater) and the merch tents were all crammed into this small area. It was a terrible layout and dust was flying around everywhere that there was a crowd moving. Crowd control was terrible as well. Trying to move from one area to the next you had to basically go through the crowds at a couple of the stages to get somewhere.

Can i just chime in and say the setup was awful, but the worst part about it was the dust. I've never gotten sick at warped tour, and I've been to hotter warped tours than this year but inhaling all that dust made me feel horrible.

Got to see a ton of bands I wanted to and there weren't many complete conflicts, a few sets I wanted to see ran over by 10 minutes, but nothing too much more than that.
Saw: Yellowcard, Fur Elise (local band on Ernie Ball), Mayday Parade, Vanna, The Ghost Inside, A Loss For Words, Title Fight, Transit, Breathe Carolina (not by choice, but because I was dying and they happened to be playing the amphitheater), Man Overboard, Taking Back Sunday, and Make Do and Mend
And got to catch 2 or 3 songs from: All Time Low, Pierce the Veil, Twin Atlantic, and For Today
Overall, got to see pretty much everyone I came to see. Only bands that I was really bummed I missed out on were Four Year Strong (same time as Title Fight) and New Found Glory.
