They will soon also be officialy anouncing a Saskatoon show, to "replace" the Vancouver show. Apparently, they couldn't book Vancouver a date when they needed too... so Saskatoon is a reasonable replacement? Huh.

Oh well, with the line up this year, it may be no big loss...

First Official 2008 Band Anouncements (this came about a month or so ago...)

We will continue to announce bands over the next few months. Gym Class Heroes The Briggs The Academy Is... The Bronx Reliant K Every Time I Die From First to Last The Street Dogs Reel Big Fish Norma Jean We the Kings Devil Wears Prada Pierce the Veil The Color Fred 3Oh!3 The Lordz Katy Perry Shwayze

Also, it appears Kevin Lyman is very aware about people complaining about the lack of "punk" on this years warped tour. So he posted this the other day...

Happy Monday all,

I of course have been reading your comments and am always amused when people say "Warped tour is not punk anymore!" and, "Where are all the punk bands?" Well before you get all wound up on the next band I'm announcing I want you to go to your ipods or if you are real punk your 7-inch collection and grab these bands: The Briggs, Street Dogs, Bouncing Souls, The Bronx, Against Me, and St. Alvias Cartel. Play them all in a row and see if you are tried of running in circles. Then throw in some Pennywise, GBH, The Vandals since they will also be playing on many shows this summer and see if you have collapsed in a little sweaty heap in your moms living room. There will be more, but that's just a taste of some of the "punk," bands you will be seeing this summer.

Im betting all of those bands listed above will only be playing the Cali shows anyways though. Fuck Warped Tour. I am not driving 5 hours down to Gorge just to Reel Big Fish and The Briggs. In order to pull me down there this year, they are gonna need some acts like Rancid, The Aggrolites, Nekromantix or perhaps get The Vandals, GBH and The Bouncing Souls to play the Gorge show too.

Just thought I would pass along the information.

LOL Warped Tour... LOL

[canexplain]

yea, i dont think i have gone for the last two maybe three years ... with that lineup, guess it might be 4 years .. i do have a funny pic of me in a tiedye walking around the venue with all the warp type people everywhere ... ah just a day in the life of cr****

[rage patton]

That is awesome Ron! If you can find that pic, you have to post it here!

[betao]

reading that lineup made my eyes hurt.

[flickfan82x]

bahahaha yeah, it seems like they're hitting the east cost earlier than ever! :-/ a lot of days off too...

[suprefan]

LOL Warped Tour... LOL

I hope Dredg plays so then you cant see them on their own in San Diego this summer if they tour. You'll be crying that you dont wanna spend $30 to see them play for 20 minutes.

Warped tour is Warped as it always is. It shoudl be fun and hopefully they get some other names on this thing that will make it worth the time. You wonder why I dont start these threads when this stuff has been posted for a while right? This will be my 9th year in a row going. Its something to do in the summer and you just get to see what kids are digging and all that. Plus a bunch of free stuf never hurts.

[PassiveTheory]

I'll be back in SD for the summer... And barring any ridiculous conflicts, I will be seeing them in Coachella. I figure seeing them twice since September is enough, lol.

Otherwise, there's no one else I want to see.

[xxxxxxxxxx]

i hope san francisco shows are back at the pier again and not at shithole shoreline.

[rage patton]

Seriously, why does San Fran need TWO dates?

[xxxxxxxxxx]

warped has done 2 san francisco shows in the past...in 2004 i think it was i got to see bad religion/flogging molly/mighty mighty bosstones on back to back days.it was sweet.

[GnarVee]

wow WARPED sucks this year. last year was awesome....CIRCA SURVIVE/PEPPER/KILLSWITCH/PENNYWISE/BAD RELIGION


NO COACHELLA.......but I had fun!

[smoke]

gah...i despise bad religion.

i only went to one warped tour, and that was in 1997 i think...here in LA at the olympic veledrome. descendants, pennywise, vandals, blink, social d, lagwagon, strung out, and more i can't remember.....oh and mighty mighty bosstones...lol.

[idrive1life]

rage's Lighthouse Fest > Vans Warped Tour heh heh

[rage patton]

rage's Lighthouse Fest > Vans Warped Tour heh heh

Wait... does everyone think Lighthouse is MY festival? Hahaha.

Seriously, people are gonna be surprised when they find out which festival is actually mine.

[betao]

rage I think i know which one is yours. Well, i have 2 guesses.

[idrive1life]

OMGLOL I really thought it is yours. I have no idea now (which one is yours) but I'm pretty sure who own / made the last 8 (unless I'm mistaken with one of them heh heh).

[Memorial_07]

I want to go this year just to go.
I'm not a huge fan of this tour, I just want to see Every Time I Die mainly because they are so entertaining live.

[sbessiso]

ive been to one and only one warped tour, the summer before seventh grade, (like 5 years ago?) and it was a blast

what happened? myspace bands? emo crap? *sigh*

[paulb]

Warped has become horrible... I went in 04 and 05 and those were awesome with Bad Religion, Offspring, Transplants, Dropkick Murphies, Flogging Molly...

[rage patton]

Weird... Warped Tour this year has an electronic muisc tent sponsored by Skull Candy. I... I just don't even know what to think about that.

[paulb]

Why is it skipping Vancouver, why dont they play Tbird stadium after the last LA date... the stadium is up and running again...

[Sushov23]

who is playing the tent?

[PassiveTheory]

Weird... Warped Tour this year has an electronic muisc tent sponsored by Skull Candy. I... I just don't even know what to think about that.

"electronic music".

Basically, all the shit hardcore bands that decided "hey... this keyboard does something! Why don't I bang on it while crying through my eyeliner!"

And that's how Enter Shikari was born.

[PrettyRagdoll]

Weird... Warped Tour this year has an electronic muisc tent sponsored by Skull Candy. I... I just don't even know what to think about that.

Even more weird is how Skull Candy as a brand is so... I don't know widespread. Just a couple years ago they like three items for sale on their website. OH well..

I'm getting Flogging Molly and Gogol B. at Coachella... So I'd go to Warped for Pennywise and the Vandals

[BlackSwan]

When they initially put out listings on Live Nation for the Warped Tour The fucking Pinker Tones were on the bill... what the hell is with that?

[SFChrissy]

i hope san francisco shows are back at the pier again and not at shithole shoreline.

The june show is at the pier and the august show is at shoreline...

I've never gone but this year my boy is doing skate demo's so yeahhh I'm going!!!

[Memorial_07]

Warped has hip-hop this year.
Murs.

[JClemy]

Warped used to have hip hop. I saw Kool Keith and J5 at warped. Then they put them on a tiny stage that sucked so I stopped going. They also started bringing a lot of bands like simple plan so that helped.
