Warped Updates: Smartpunk stage bands announced / Saskatoon show added

Posted by adam on Monday, February 4, 2008 at 12:00 PM (EST)

The Warped Tour has announced the bands playing the Smartpunk side stage on the long running tour. Specific lineups will vary by city of course but over the summer the stage will host bands including Set Your Goals, the Higher, the Human Abstract, Alesana, A Day to Remember, August Burns Red, The Maine, Stick to Your guns, Forever the Sickest Kids, the Secret Handshake, Every Avenue, Madina Lake, Just Surrender, Cinematic Sunrise, Automatic Love Letter, Four Year Strong, Bring Me the Horizon, Confide, Sky Eats Airplane, Classic Crime, the Morning Light and Danger Radio.

Also, the tour has announced that they've added an August 5th date in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan at the Credit Union Centre. This is, in part, a replacement for the Vancouver show, which is missing from the routing as a venue could not be confirmed. The event announced it's routing last week.

if I liked the song "Mutiny!" and "Goonies Never Say Die," would I like the rest of SYG's catalog?

absolutely.

I'd say you'd like a chunk, not all, but a chunk.

Saskatoon a replacement for Vancouver? I really don't think anyone is going to drive 20 hours from Vancouver to go to fucking Saskatoon just to see the Warped tour. There are enough good shows in Vancouver already. Once again, the vastness of Canadian Geography is underestimated.

Jay3313 (February 4, 2008)

Saskatoon? They'll draw like half the amount that Vancouver does. Maybe less.

Every single one of those bands is terrible. They should stay in Saskatoon when the show's over.

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet, but on the Bamboozle page Face to Face is not listed anymore.
Is their something to that?

they are a fucking terrible band. i wouldn't ever have thought they'd play on warped, their style of music is welllllll different to others i would imagine.

RoyStorey (February 4, 2008)

Wonder how many girls they'll abuse on this tour.

JoeyMagnet (February 4, 2008)

gross.

brentmills (February 4, 2008)

saskatoon? strange. i guess that might attract some people from winnipeg and other surrounding areas.

although, shit tour, no care ever.

cpp_ (February 4, 2008)

wow all those bands suck.

DoubleA (February 4, 2008)

I think the intent was to add another Canadian date since they couldn't get a venue for the Vancouver show, not neccesarily as a "replacement" per se.

Although as someone noted - you won't draw all that many people in S'toon. There's a handful of bands I wouldn't mind catching that I never had the opportunity to see back in the day when I actually listened to them (Vandals, Pennywise, RBF) but not sure I'd want to pay and I haven't checked out the dates to see if they'll actually be there for the SK date. 6-7 years ago this news would've been awesome, but this is a pretty lackluster line-up.

"Forever the Sickest Kids" has to be the worst band name I've ever heard.

No, that designation still belongs to 3OH!3.

more like set your goals and then suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck.

and set your goals isn't even THAT good.

Holy_Balls (February 4, 2008)

Set Your Goals belongs in the suck section. Although I like Four Year Strong, who are similiar. STRANGE!

facetofacereunion08 (February 4, 2008)

only good one is set your goals. bands like forever the sickest kids and medina lake make me wanna croak. talk about cash grab trend bands...

Diver (February 4, 2008)

Not very exciting...except for SYG, kinda.

damnitsderek (February 4, 2008)

I enjoy Sky Eats Airplane from time to time.

I'm still trying to get into Set Your Goals, but I'm failing at it.

Everything else < poop.

Actually Saskatchewan is having a huge economic boom and Saskatoon and Regina are the largest growing cities in Canada

So why did it take 3 days for this to be reported on here anyway?

If you want actual updated news, Warped Tour just added HorrorPops to the lineup today.

No?

jibber (February 4, 2008)

They couldn't get a venue anywhere in the Vancouver area? I think there might be more at play than they are telling. Maybe the border at the peace arch is too hard to deal with, or the routing didn't allow time for it. It's not the first time they've skipped it. I'm sure UBC is going to be building condos on top of Thunderbird stadium any day now.

Vancouver warped tours have always sucked. A dry warped tour is a shitty warped tour.

thefluxisfluxing (February 4, 2008)

i wish there were more bands that are playing that are good.
id only like to see the souls and the street dogs as of now...

eighty (February 4, 2008)

saskatoon gets one shot at everything for some reason

Screamboat (February 6, 2008)

What about the band Touch Me Twice I Cry On Thursday? Oh wait I made that one up.
