van warp tour

[demonoid369]

so looking on their site im trying to see who is playing on august 5th. they show bands but which ones are playing on that specific date? because there are a lot of bands and i cant imagine all of them playing in one day or is that truly possible?

you are correct sir, they usually have multiple stages and the bands short sets. I used to go every year but then I got sick of the short sets, crowds and shitty bands not to mention the cost. I'd rather just wait for a band I actually want to see and go to a small venue.

Ya I want to see rise against the most, don't have a clue who else that is more known that's playing lol

Anti-Flag is about the only band on that tour that is worth a flip.....and even they suck these days.

That show began to suck donkey balls when Bad Religion stopped playing it.

Every Time I Die is about the only one I'd go see from that list.

This use to be a great way to see a bunch of bands, but just like all the other festivals it has become a a giant cluster fawk of consumerism. Rise against and anti-flag almost always have a tour of their own after the warped tour, and in my opinion that is a better (and cheaper) way to see them.

Agreed. When I was younger, I used to love going to a few long music festivals in Austin (SXSW and ACL), but those have become nothing but huge record signing deals and a way to make money. I havent been to either in at least 10 years...
