What they’re saying

“there were tents for all of the bands and labels, bands were doing their own meet & greets at their tents, everyone was dressed in all black, band tees, chains, eyeliner, converse and vans. Looking into the crowd, you see plenty of moshing, circle pits, and crowd surfing.”

— The In Crowd (The In Crowd)

“I would describe the overall energy of the crowd as a community...the energy was high, and the feeling of being surrounded by thousands of people who are part of the scene that Warped Tour emerged from and understand one another is unmatched. I do not know how to describe it, the feeling and aura of the weekend was not like that of other music festivals I have been to.”
