The nice folks behind The Bamboozle, as well as the other nice folks behind Warped Tour decided to start announcing their lineups in the last few weeks. I was holding out for a while, because bands get added almost continuously between now and then, but I think it is finally time to address the lineups.
The two-day festival in East Rutherford, NJ is being held on 5/2 and 5/3 this year and features some of the best bands around right now.
You can see the complete lineup as of now here, but a little sampling:
Fall Out Boy
No Doubt
A Rocket to the Moon
3OH!3
All Time Low
Boys Like Girls
Cobra Starship
Hey Monday
Forever the Sickest Kids
Forgive Durden
Metro Station
Taking Back Sunday
The Cab
The Used
We The Kings
I’m definitely going to try to fly out and see this, but I’ll keep you guys posted with the details.
Unfortunately, Warped Tour looks to be a little bleak this year, at least as of right now.
The whole list is available here, though which bands are playing which legs have yet to be announced, nor have venues. The tour dates, minus specific venues, can be found here.
Highlights of the lineup, which are few and far between, are:
3OH!3
Alexisonfire
Hit the Lights
Meg and Dia
Senses Fail
The Ataris
The Devil Wears Prada
The Maine
There For Tomorrow
I’ll be at the 7/24 show, despite the disappointing overall lineup. Maybe I’ll see some of you there?
