Warped Tour 2018
Will and I took a road trip to Warped Tour at PNC Bank Arts Center in New Jersey - my third Warped, and his first.
We saw State Champs, Mayday Parade, Grayscale, As It Is, Real Friends, William Ryan Key of Yellowcard, Simple Plan, Assuming We Survive, Movements, and 3OH!3. And of course, one of the best things about Warped Tour is walking around and catching a bit of a band’s set you didn’t expect to see!
We were so excited to see Sleep On It and Capstan, but sadly got delayed in traffic and missed them (you never know if one of your favorite bands will play the first set at your show - if you’re traveling from Manhattan, I would recommend taking a train or the Warped bus to avoid being late due to traffic).
On our way to the parking lot at the end of the day, we met Derek Sanders of Mayday Parade (still fangirling!) who was just standing outside the fence! During the day, we also met Collin of Grayscale, Kevin of This Wild Life, and I met all of Assuming We Survive.
I was so upset thinking this would be the last Warped Tour experience of my life - each year has been so incredible, but thankfully it will be returning to a select few locations next year and you will absolutely catch me at at least one of the East Coast shows!
