The Warped Tour

The Warped Tour is another musical tour where there are multiple stage setups and a ton of bands that play and people can walk around from one stage to another. This tour is mostly from the alternative genre and bands like Never, Our Last Night, and Family Force 5 that typically play however there are a small variety of other genres that play like hardcore metal music, as well as some pop, and some indie.

The Warped Tour is very similar to Coachella, except with different genres. People who go to this typically wear either muscle tanks, graphic tees with either skinny jeans or high waisted shorts that usually matched their vans or converse shoes. Not all the bands listed on the Vans Warped Tour website (x) will play at all the dates listed, a small selection of bands will have breaks throughout the duration of the tour.

A recommendation I'd suggest would be to look at the list of bands that are playing, each year the selection varies, and see what bands you'd like to see and where the majority of them will play in a city near you. Unless you want to go to the Warped Tour for the fun of it. I've been to a couple music festivals through my youth group and I each time I loved everything about it. And the summer of 2013 I actually went to a music festival called 'Sunshine' and I actually watched Family Force 5, and that's when I first heard of them. Their music is very energetic and catchy. I remembered my youth group leaders telling me how good this band is and to be honest, I was very skeptical and was scared it was going to be a waste of my time. However after they performed me and my sisters each got a CD of theirs (all different of course) and I will still play the CDs from time to time and still have the same love for it as I did when I made the purchase.

Honestly for multiple years now I've been wanting to go to the warped tour, two summers ago I was going through a Sleeping With Sirens and Pierce the Veil phase and all I did was listen to all their music and nothing else. I remembered vividly looking up when they both were going to play in a city either close to me or close to Cleveland, Oklahoma where my best friend had, at the time, just moved down to. I remembered trying to get tickets for the Oklahoma City date but unfortunately at the time didn't have enough money for both the drive down to Oklahoma as well as the tickets for the event.
