I’m very sad to see the end coming to Warped Tour’s 24-year run. Of this list, Movements is one of the bands I haven’t seen live before, but definitely hope to see again.

Movements was one of the very first sets to perform on Thursday and even though they were performing at one of the hottest times of the day and before the rain clouds started to block the sun, they still brought it. I also want to mention that frontman Dan Lambton comes into close second for best hair on Warped Tour. It’s always a treasure to see them perform. This band is so fun-loving on stage, in contrast to a lot of their music. Did I mention that Skyler’s hair is still the best hair on Warped Tour? Because it is.Īlthough their set was cut short because of the rain, Real Friends is one of those bands that’s newer to the scene but still killing it. The beginning of 2018 started out on a rough note for the Atlanta, GA based band due to their separation from long-time co-vocalist Michael Bohn, but their performance this past week highlighted their passion to keep making the music that they want to make. Issues is one of those bands that never seems to stop touring, and I mean that as a good thing. Highlights include: Pierre bringing out a giant water gun to cool off the crowd and jumping off stage to get right up against the barricade and really sing to his fans. One of the defining artists for the brand of emo punk music that continues to unite multiple generations of festival-goers, Simple Plan’s set was fantastic. Mayday Parade is one of the bands, along with Falling In Reverse, that performed at the very first Warped Tour that I went to when I was 13, so there couldn’t have been a better way to end a festival so close to my heart. But Mayday Parade brought the same enthusiasm this year as they have been for so many. It goes without saying that I am biased, as Mayday Parade is one of my favorite bands of all time. As usual, Warped Tour had a very diverse lineup with something for everyone to enjoy. The bands that filled out the lineup were a consistent mix of newer bands that have been defining the Warped Tour style for the past few years, like Real Friends and State Champs the bands that define many of our nostalgic emo middle school experiences, such as Mayday Parade and Falling in Reverse and classic groups that defined the Warped Tour sound from the beginning, like Simple Plan and Less Than Jake. With a total of 7 stages and a few musical artists that came as a surprise, it goes without question that the Final Warped Tour left us on a high note.

Much like every other outdoor concert I’ve ever been to in Florida weather, it rained quite a bit at Warped Tour in Jacksonville, but luckily not until it was more than halfway through the day. R.I.P our tent we had some good times huh Final Cross Country Vans Warped Tour has come to an eventful close. There was a casualty in the Don Broco camp: We’re hiding out in the back of a semi truck with 60mph winds coming. For example Grayscale may never return to Florida ever again: We only played two songs!!! :((((( BUT now we’re eating a lot of cheesy bread from Dominos so it was still a great day.īut not everyone embraced the storm in quite the same way. Today’s warped tour was cancelled because of bad weather. Real Friends had to stop their set after two songs, but choose to see the positive side: Take for example State Champs who ordered $180 worth of pizza to their bus, and hosted a pizza party (check it out on their insta story). In the morning, come to the yellow Guest List tent at the main gates for a tix exchange.īut as with everything, the storm is what you make of it. You can bring your ticket stub or e-ticket to any other FL show. The show will NOT be resuming due to inclement weather. But all is not lost! Any attendees of the Jacksonville Warped date have been offered access to of the three remaining Warped Dates: Please make your way to your cars, the overpass in E lot, or building in backstage areaĪfter two hours of the show being on hold, the decision was made to pull the show, as the weather showed no signs of improvement. We are going on a temporary hold due to weather. Initially it looked like the show would only be on a temporary hold while the storm passed, with Warped Tour organisers posting to twitter asking the crowd to seek cover their cars, the overpass or a building in the backstage area. Yesterday's Warped Tour date in Jacksonville, Florida had to be cancelled due to some sudden and extreme weather. Drama has hit the final days of Vans Warped Tour
