Theres loads of tours I'd love to go to this year.

Warped for:
Billy Talent
From First To Last,
Armor for sleep,
every time i die,
Hellogoodbye,
motion city soundtrack
paramore
Reggie and the full effect
saosin
The living end

ozzfest for:
SOAD
Dragonforce (\m/)
Atreyu

taste of chaos however is the only one hitting ireland this year.
Taking Back Sunday
Anti-Flag
Underoath
Saosin
Senses Fail
Parkway Drive

But theres rumours that saosin will be replaced by alexisonfire for the irish date. which means the only band there I'd LIKE to see are TBS.

i hate this country

From First to Last dropped off of the warped tour due to a node in the singer's throat.

In my opinion Wapred needs more ska bands....waaaay more ska bands.

Word to that. Ska is the best.

They need less Aiden and more people who don't suck.

Posted: 29.6.2006 15:29

Heh. Actually the line-up for it this year is quite good. They also add all the old punk bands like Joan Jett and the Buzzcocks. That's about the coolest thing.

I agree with you They need a whole lot more Ska

In my opinion warped should avoid ska as its too risky for sales

What?

Ska is risky for sales?

Care to elaborate there, Andy?

the bands that are on warped are the bands that are hot. ska is still popular amongst the cultures that it started and influenced, but it has no mainstream appeal. if warped booked a load of ska bands they couldnt guarantee a good turn out. im not saying they wouldnt get one, they very possibly could, but there'd be no guarantees.

wheras millions will flock to see from first to last, fall out boy, underoath etc. coz thats whats hot right now.

if ska makes this huge mainstream attack next year you'll see choking victim headlining.

Yeah, but they know there's lots of Ska kids.

I know I like ska more than I like punk.

They could at least put more than ONE ska band on the tour.

Plus the only one on it is Less than Jake and apparently they only play one ska song per set.

So going to warped and hearing ONE ska song all day sucks.

I'm sure if they put like 3 or 4 ska bands on there would be even a little more turnout.
