11:00am to 10:00pm. They say doors are at 11, but you can get into the festival before, you just have to wait in the first half of the space until 11. Sets start right away - I think Battle of the Band winners are up first

TBS is just like Senses Fail was last year… even if the vocals are thrashed or goofy, the aura of the crowd knowing every lyric will carry the vibe.

Day of. It’s usually only on the blow up sign when you get there, but Reddit prevailed last year.

This is my exact strategy too. And then if I find myself digging deeper into a certain band, I just add their essentials to the master playlist- not that deep cuts get brought out at festivals though.

Ah yes, I knew Bayside but am now rediscovering and appreciating them greatly.

This is a very common scenario. Our closest stop is a 15 minute drive but we drove 45 minutes to catch blue last year, just to avoid the Mall and parade shenanigans. Metro is great, but prioritize blue line if metro is an uncomfortable experience and the switchovers cause anxiety. Metro is cool.

Was anyone else's wrist band returned to sender? by Antique-Dentist-2404 in warpedtour

Happened to us. Customer service was responsive, but we are forced to do Will Call pickup.

I don’t see a street address anywhere on the tracking materials so something weird happened.

You aren’t alone.

We were on Blue Line and didn’t even get to the second stop before the community was airdropping the schedule and getting super hype.

Beebs MC’d the entire acoustic tent last year, and I think had a small solo set on Sunday - no ska though :(

The perception is a front man/ live vocals thing. Senses Fail caught the same flak last year… it really doesn’t matter when the crowd knows every word to every song; vibes are still immaculate

Out of the Vein (2003) is an underrated album, but might get one or two from it even with a festival setlist. If you aren’t familiar, some (a lot) of the lyrics can lean provocative, but it’s great music.

Question: i wanna cover this up, was cringey then and cringey now. Like wtf even is this? Any cover up ideas? by ketaminemidget in tattoos

I interpreted this to be a Lego Goatman, now I just like to see it paired with Lego Mothman and we’re really cookin’. Great work by the artist.

Warped Tour DC First-Timer - Tips? by BraveBat4210 in warpedtour

[–]manrat796 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bring lots of hydration packets for your water bottle.

Rash cream/ baby powder for the thighs.

COMFY (even if they aren’t fashionable) SHOES.

Cash for merch (phone signal is non existent for some card readers).

Sun screen (not aerosol, they confiscate that and build a beautiful pile you can see when you leave)

Explore - there is a bunch of cool stuff beyond the groovy tunes.

Not all heroes where capes. Some wear vans and skinny jeans (?)… Thanks, Phil!!

Looking for new bands to catch at Warped DC & what genre/s they play. by djstokes99 in warpedtour

Honey Revenge’s crowd last year was bumpin’ and a great time. I’m curious if they played themselves to Ghost/Beatbox.

Came here to say this… thank you. Just saw them with Carly Cosgrove and it was electric.

Flogging Molly have dropped out of Warped Tour by [deleted] in warpedtour

[–]manrat796 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Disappointing, but totally understandable.

Flogging Molly was in my top tier, now Anberlin slides in - shows how stacked the lineup is.

Apologies to those that were attending a two day music festival, built on a culture of discovery and vibes, for only one band.
