It has been debatable whether the Warped Tour has been worth going to since the start of the tour. This year looks like I might finally bow out and not attend. I usually like going just for the hell of it and to take pictures. But why bother taking photos of 3 or 4 bands that I might like when the rest of the lineup stinks? Looks like Kevin Lyman and the Warped Tour are catering to the kiddies again and not offering any older, and might I add better bands to the lineup. Where’s the Fat Wreck style bands? Some ska bands but not a lot. No veteran Warped Tour acts really besides 1 or 2. Out of that line up, I like Reel Big Fish, Deal’s Gone Bad, Sum 41 (a stretch) and The Reverend Peytons Big Damn Band. Maybe throw in 1 or 2 more bands in there? I don’t want to attend this, even when the tickets are FREE! This isn’t worth taking off of work for that’s for damn sure. See the crappy lineup below:
