is there anyone thats gone this year already that can give an inside on how good or bad its been this year?

IMHO, not a very exciting lineup.

Offspring and Matchbook Romance are horrible live.

I've gone to warped tour for pretty much the past 5 years. I'm not going this year. The line up is lame to me, not really any bands that I really want to see. From your list I've seen a few of those bands live but frankly none of them are good enough to go for.

Yea, it seems that the warped tour this year, really doesn't have a good line up. Theres only one band I would want to see out of all of them going and they're not even playing in Calgary, so theres no point in me going.

I'm going to the stop in Orlando in 3 weeks. I'm going for The Offspring, Fall Out Boy, The Transplants, Avenged Sevenfold, The Starting Line, Matchbook Romance, MxPx, and Reggie & The Full Effect.

Story Of The Year are allegedly going to be playing a string of dates including my show but there hasn't been any mention of this on the Warped Tour's official site so I'll just have to see when I get there.

I've gone every year since 2001 and so far there's been a surprise each year. Lucky Boys Confusion in 01, Against All Authority in 02, Lordz of Brooklyn in 03, no Guttermouth in 04 (ok so that was a bad surprise but oh well).

i saw jurassic 5 and green day one year. that was it for me, though.

the most recent leg of the tour is clone-tastic, a study in the cockeyed programming trends in rock radio. i can't speak for the smaller bands b/c i'm not especially drawn to punk (or in some cases, "punk").

i went last year, and it was ok, but this year i only really want to see the Unseen, warped tour has gone down hill for a long time, i want it to die already

Line up sucks. Last year was way better with Bad Religion and Anti-Flag and Atmosphere.

I think until they see the attendance decline, Vans will stick w/ the same formula, still making money, just not from me

I think the line up was weak this year, although I of course went for mxpx. Tsunami Bomb was good as well as the unseen (I touched his hand!). A lot of commercialism and tents, of course, but Ill probably go next year as well depending on the line up. The ernie ball stage was awesome, seeing some local bands from Albuquerque and what not.
