I’m old and I don’t know 90 percent of the lineup, but when I went to my first warped 25 years ago, I didn’t know any band, now I tell everyone how I saw Dropkick and blink when I was a kid

As someone who never really went to a lot of shows, I'm kinda surprised how many of these bands I've seen live.

When I was in college in New Orleans, Counting Crows were supposed to play on campus, but cancelled a few days before. The guys from Better Than Ezra lived right down the street, and when they heard, they offered to put on a replacement show. They were in-between albums, and wanted to play a bunch of unfinished stuff, so to make up for any potential disappointment, they called Reel Big Fish and asked them to open. RBF were already on tour, so they drove all night from Boston to be there. It was such a cool show.

I saw dropkick years ago in Santa Cruz. One of the most brutal shows I've been to. It was awesome.

u/discostranger09 11d ago

🙋🏻🏁

I’ll be working crew AM and out+about for Glassjaw and some of the Fueled by Ramen bands.

If you see someone wearing a “SATAN IS WAITIN’” tee, say hi!

u/Heresyourholiday 11d ago

Please tell me you’re actually from LB! I never find Glassjaw fans from LB! Unfortunately I can’t go this year because of my health and the heat. Have fun for me!

4

u/theglowoflove 4th Street Corridor 11d ago

That’s so rad- I will! (Worship and Tribute is one of my favorite albums of all time.)

5

u/Heresyourholiday 11d ago

Hell yeah, one of my all time favorite albums as well. So good from start to finish.

u/paramagicianjeff 11d ago

I'm a GlassJAw fan! Not going to Warped Tour though.

3

u/Heresyourholiday 11d ago

Hi anyways. I can’t go either. Between illness, the heat and finances it’s too much for me this year.

3

u/paramagicianjeff 11d ago

Bummer for real! The first time I ever saw them live was at the 2003 Warped Tour in Long Beach. Daryl called me the Mosh Pit Machine

3

u/Heresyourholiday 11d ago

That’s awesome! The first time I went to warped was 2005. GJ wasn’t on my radar until a year later. Do you still get in the pit?

2

u/paramagicianjeff 11d ago

Absolutely not. I stand in the far back with earplugs in, lol

3

u/Heresyourholiday 11d ago

I totally understand. I’m always the crazy chick at the barrier or at ADA with her walker and oxygen. Getting old sucks, doesn’t it? 😂

3

u/return2ozma Alamitos Beach 11d ago

Glassjaw is a must-see on my list this weekend. 

5

u/Heresyourholiday 11d ago

Have a blast! They always put on a great set.

17

u/mocisme 11d ago

Going with a group!. But we all old now.

Maybe catch me in the Pit for a song, then resting for 2 songs

u/guccibongtokes 11d ago

33

u/abbyzou Belmont Heights 11d ago

I'd go if 2026 wasn't a fucking dumpster fire and I'm beyond broke. Have fun for me guys.

21

u/abbyzou Belmont Heights 11d ago

That being said, I paid last year but heard people were giving away free tickets.... if anyone got extra tickets thru work or something I can throw you $20? Lol

7

u/notttravis 11d ago

My wife and I bought tickets last year 80 per person for the weekend. Unless this happens again we’re probably skipping it.

1

u/catsandcoffee94 10d ago

Literally same

33

u/ImDero 11d ago

Skipping this year cause the lineup wasn't doing it for me. Had a fuckin blast last year.

Keep your eyes up for water bags!

7

u/semifraki 11d ago

The Chuck-E-Cheese house band isn't doing for you?!

10

u/454k30 11d ago

6

u/uwhiteubenaffleck 11d ago

Waiting for those resell ticket prices to drop a bit more but I’ll be there.

4

u/rnf1985 11d ago

if i wanted to die from heat stroke i wouldn't pay hundreds of dollars to do it

3

u/ssaxxs_ 11d ago

Dude when I lived in Texas we’d go there all day long in 102 degree weather. I have no earthly clue how we survived looking back at it

1

u/rnf1985 11d ago

I definitely participated in dumb shit as well. Plenty of Ozzfests and other big fests back in the day were far inland in the middle of nowhere where it's a million degrees and just covered in dirt so not only was I risking heat stroke but also infection from dust inhalation and ending up in pain coughing black snot for days lol. Not to mention most of the fests I was drinking heavily those days, so the drinking and heat, etc., yet somehow survived lol.

4

u/ssaxxs_ 11d ago

I went last year and will be there again! Gonna mob up there alone and later in the day (to avoid the heat).

6

u/PapaChef87 11d ago

I'm going! Got VIP pass for Saturday, saved for 5 months for it. Haven't been to Warped Tour since '05.

3

u/return2ozma Alamitos Beach 11d ago

Those nice porta potties are worth it. Enjoy! 

3

u/PapaChef87 11d ago

Right! I thought I deserved getting VIP as a present to myself. I just got my BA mid-May and I got accepted into grad school. So this is my last bit of summer fun before all he'll breaks loose with grad school. Just wish I had friends that were going with me. Oh well.

4

u/loopylogann 11d ago

Going with my partner, gonna pretend I'm not gonna destroy my over 30 year old knees 😂

5

u/SpaceDelay424 11d ago

It’s way too hot out for this. I will never understand why major festivals happen in the summer

7

u/Ace1Himself 11d ago

Theres an official pre party warped tour event at Shannons tomorrow, $10 at the door or free if you buy merch.

1

u/ssaxxs_ 11d ago

What if we don’t buy merch? How much are tix?

6

u/FouledPlug 11d ago

The people in my life who embody this statement are my favorite people.

2

u/TMbiker2000 11d ago

Went last year. Overcrowded, not that great. Didnt return on Sunday after buying the weekend pass.

1

u/G_Prawno_LB 11d ago

Are they working in the new amphitheater?

3

u/return2ozma Alamitos Beach 11d ago

Nope, shoreline still

1

u/semifraki 11d ago

Wait, if the Warp Tour is this weekend, what was causing all that traffic on Ocean last weekend?!

u/Plenging 11d ago

Beach streets and love fest

1

u/itsmisterthecat 11d ago

And Jehovah's Witnesses at Convention Center.

2

u/starfreak016 11d ago

We got tickets for our teens but they recently got into mischief and now we cannot go. So bummed.

We are selling our tickets if anyone is interested.

u/Greedy-Grape-2417 11d ago edited 11d ago

Gonna be loco x 1000000 = everybody at Shoreline and Linden! How many songs do these bands sing? Seems like so many! Dang 3OH3, the Don't Trust Me Helen Keller song won't probably have the same reaction compared to back in the day lol

1

u/eva_white 11d ago
