Warped Tour Questions:
the-anti-gloaming:
What time should we get in line if the gates open at 11?
Do bands start playing when the gates open or is the first set after 11 or what?
Does the skip the line pass really do anything? I heard that it actually moves slower than the regular line.
Any other advice?
Get there EARLY… EARLY… EARLY. If the gates open at 11, get there at 8:30 and bring cans of food...

One of the interesting music options at the Vans Warped Tour this year is the Acoustic Basement tent. It’s a covered and therefore shaded spot usually right in the middle of the layout, where everyone from singer songwriters to heavier rockers perform acoustic sets with a light touch and a lot of…

Warped 2012 Is Amazing
I had such a great time at Warped in SF and Ventura the last two days. If anyone can afford it, I definitely recommend going for multiple days so you can see everything you want and also work in a few serendipitous experiences. There is a lot of great music beyond the headliners, and there are lots of styles of music to sample from. Besides seeing all my must-sees (TBS, ATL, WATIC, YMAS, Matt...

Inside Facebook Campus
Ever wonder what it’s like at Facebook? I mean, the buildings where they work?
I got to find out recently when some friends there invited me up to see their new campus. I was elated because I love Facebook… and actually, doubly elated, since I used to work on that very Facebook campus when it was inhabited by a different company. The previous occupant was Sun Microsystems, the...

Warped "Lite" For Parents →
parentsguidetoconcerts:
OK, you are going to Warped with your family, but you are not sure if you’re quite ready for non-stop Metalcore. Don’t worry! One of the quiet secrets of Warped is that there are always several talented lower key bands in the mix, chosen to balance out the day. Here are a few. Note that not all…

I have said it a thousands times to bands, managers, tour managers and crew guys. “Let your Merch dude design your Merch and your sales will increase” I say this because every tour I do or see, Merch guys/girls never get a chance to do the Merch. I mean who else knows what a bands fan base wants…
