The Sad Story Behind Warped Tours Death

if warped tour comes back I feel as though the ticket prices should also make a comeback. The main reason why people love and miss warped is because how affordable it was to see as many bands as possible, with festivals like when we were young or sad summer you're paying large amounts of money to not see as many bands. I get with inflation a $50 ticket may not be as feasible but I do think there are ways to make a warped tour come back accessible and affordable for everyone

Guitar Hero: Warped Tour Would've been so cool if it happened.

Went to Warped every year from ‘97 to ‘03. In ‘99, I was just barely through the gates when I was checking the band schedule board and this GORGEOUS girl was standing there next to me mapping out who to see and when. A lot of my favored bands were on her list and I told her she had good taste and that I was on my way to see the first band on her list. She smiled and said her cousins were there but wanted to see another band first, and asked if she could tag along w me. I ofc said yes and we clicked within minutes. Spent all day together and were very much bf/gf for the day. Met up with her cousins later and towards the end of the night, one of them told me she was just visiting and didn’t even live in the state. I was crushed. They told be that she was from Minnesota and I lived in Kansas. As the night drew to a close, we said our goodbyes and I told her I knew I could not feasibly pursue anything with her. She kissed me and said I was her favorite part about the day. It was bittersweet, but we walked into the parking lot and quite literally went our separate ways. 5 years later I had risen up a couple ranks in my job and had to take a business trip to St. Paul, MN. Stopped by a local cafe for a quick breakfast one morning and guess who the waitress was? We both looked quite different but we both recognized the other instantly. We talked for a while but still ultimately decided not to do anything as it was still quite challenging to pursue anything. Keep in mind at the time, texting/long distance still was being charged for by the minute/message and social media was still in its infancy so it left us with little option. I got up and we hugged and I told her I still thought about that day. She told me she still tells her friends about the perfect guy she met on a whim for 1 day. She remains my favorite warped tour memory. ☺️

It’d be cool to bring back warped tour without the drama and the pedos

As a kid growing up 10.000 miles away from a typical Warped Tour dates, the lineups was a great way for me to expand my musical horizon

My first Warped experience was 05 ,and it is still one of the best events I ever went to. I remember seeing Strike Anywhere, The Unseen, Underoath, My Chem, Fall Out Boy, The Transplants, Atreyu, Avenged Sevenfold, Thrice, shit even Billy Idol there. What a year, great memories. I still have some of tickets for warped tour, we would go to the local safeway cigarette counter and get them lol 05 my ticket was $32.50.

I started going to Warped Tour in 2003. I was 14 and I went every single summer until 2008. I went again several times in my 20s but it just wasn’t the same. I did get to stand on stage while TBS played, which made my inner 14 year old emo kid melt to pieces. I’m still emo. Covered in tattoos and 35. This video was super nostalgic so thank you! I subbed!

The metalcore scene was the best years.

Warped tour was at its best before everyone had cell phones. Seriously, it was such a chill vibe but hot AF most days.

I remember watching the warped tour documentary on fuse and being bummed I couldn't go that year. but it was cool seeing my friends from school in the crowd.

Take me back to how it used to be, I’d never close my eyes again.

I like how there was 2 stages back to back cuz there was less time in between bands on those stages cuz the other band can be set up already or finish setting up while the other band is finishing! So many times I got lucky and like 3 bands were back to back on those and didn't have to sprint anywhere and it was so nice! The sprinting across the whole place sucked I had to do that a bunch of times...good times though! I miss warped tour...

I only ever went to the last one in 2018😢 guess I should’ve stopped bein busy being 9 back when it was in its prime

I played warped tour in 2016 on the full sail stage with my band The New Low. It was a dream come true and one of the best summers of my life. Kevin was a fantastic guy, very involved and appreciated the community and helping each other more than anything. We often volunteered and helped give our effort to the tour and respect to the other bands and crew. We got bumped to main stage on a few dates and it really felt like Kevin cared about the people putting in the hard work and appreciated being there. Sad it went away but hopefully we can learn to love each other again and bring warped tour back 🤘🏻💯

I wish I could have experienced warped tour now I have to pay 400$ for when we were young and sick new world

Lol the nascar aloe cameo went hard

RIP Warped Tour. I went every year from 1999-2005 and then again in 2016. Man, I discovered SO many new bands every year. And my favorite bands I went to see never disappointed. I loved how Fat Mike was there damn near every year, either with NoFx or Me First and the Gimmie Gimmies. I also saw bands, or performers, go from relatively unknowns to huge acts. Like in 99 when the Blackeyed Peas(before Fergie) played before Blink 182. Or in 2002 when I sat down next to a stage to get out of the sun that barely had 10 people watching the performance. When the band’s set was over, they said “Thank you. We’re ‘Flogging Molly’ and we’ll see you next time.” Forever Warped, baby.

Bro I saw Joan Jett and the Blackhearts and the buzzcocks in the same day when I went to my first warped tour.

I Miss Warped tour , Who didn't love moshing in 90 Degree weather on a blacktop from a large parking lot of The Pepsi Center. Full of Monster, a black eye , sunburnt top to bottom, wearing new sweaty merch and it was just another summers day. I never imagined warped tour would end, still blows my mind. It was the most anticipated event of every summer.
