Wild Warped Tour Stories

[@SingingInferno]

Not wild, but definitely memorable. I caught the members of Linkin Park not too far from the show and got to spend an hour or so playing basketball with Chester and Mike. One of my favorite memories.

[@ReidGarwin]

Chester didnt hurt his ankle that day did he? Lol rest in peace

[@anathema7813]

[@andymiller5651]

A girl did sadly pass away in 2012 at warped tour, I believe it was because of Dehydration but I might be mistaken

[@TheFlameBladeWielder]

You're right, that why they have water and shit now

[@anthonyrivera45]

I’ve heard of this death before and it was dehydration but I didn’t know it was one of my favorite bands playing......

[@landrysaathoff2418]

That makes sense. In 2012 they didn’t have waters spouts and you had to buy bottled water. Then I went again in 2015 and there was a dedicated water refill station.

[@Dekead1930]

Sounds like the guy with the box of condoms was prepared to do that to whichever band came on

[@quinnplays9166]

I'm the dude in the 2nd story. I can confirm the guy who threw the condoms was pissed cause his band lost.

it wasn't infant. it was suicidal angels

[@lucasbrucas9632]

I was at the Columbus Ohio Summer Slaughter tour and this couple brought their toddler/young kid to the pit. The kid sat on his parents shoulders and even was moshing and hardcore dancing. His mom paid good attention to him so at the breakdowns she'd come scoop him up. The people in the pit even formed at protective circle around him so he'd be safe! When BTBAM finally came out he repeatedly crowd surfed up to the front where the security would escort him back to his parents so he could do it again.

[@DuanvantSlot]

That's why I love the scene man. Hardcore love

[@malachidaw9730]

Okay the protective circle for them was the only entertaining part of that

[@JamesSmith-gk8sz]

This is by far my favorite comment of 2020. I know you submitted it in 2018, but I didn't read it until just now, and it's too early to claim a favorite comment for 2021. So legendary I hope that kid got a video of it to play at his high school graduation when he wins the "Most Likely to be President Award".

[@garrett4299]

A few years ago, I was talking to some guy before Chelsea grin because we both had kublai khan hats on and we kinda bonded over them and then about 20 minutes later, he crowdkilled the shit outta me. God I love this scene 😂👌🏼

[@stephanieann6622]

I and my mom got caught in the bless the fall wall of death in 2012(It was my first mosh pit or wall of death ever) this 6ft3in dude came out to 13 yr old 4'5 me and punched me so hard it chipped my collar bone. So I reached up and broke his fucking nose. I went to the medic to get checked out becauze I couldnt breathe and While waiting to get passed the gate I accidentally stepped passed the stage line because I was pushed and the security gaurd hit me in the exact spot yet he was the one that was waiting to escort me. So the fuck knew what he was doing. It was a fun time but that was fucked up.

[@amazonfulfillment4282]

The BEST story was when Jordan Buckley of ETID wouldnt stop playing that riff from Map Chnage like 10 minutes after the set was supposed to be over because he didnt want it to end

[@kman080498]

Joey Richey 18 minuyes and it was glorious. Everyone was fucking crying and god it was crazy

[@dorberino]

i saw that video it’s so sad

[@eatsleepdie8808]

lol he did that at the Tinker Field show in Orlando and it was great lol such a good riff

[@MC-sx6ix]

ETID in general are epic. You ever want to chill with them, just go on up to the so-called "Twin Cities" outside of Buffalo and sit outside of a Tops supermarket with a 30 rock. Andy'll swing by, shoot the shit, and then drag you off to go party, because: "You had beer, and I am thirsty" (In his own words). Hell, they used to do Christmas shows up here when the local bowling alley was still open. It was the first time I ever saw a mosh pit set to Sexy Back and The Final Countdown. (With Andy dressed as Santa, and pelvic thrusting his guitar.) And Keith trying to kill himself by back-flipping off the stacks. (The ceilings were super low, and he grazed his head on it.) Or when he asked for christmas gifts and got a shoe, someone's ripped off dreadlock, and a pack of smokes. Then threw a fit cause he didn't have a lighter. (Until someone chucked on at his head) Or the greatest moment; They covered Ace Of Spades and the roof just exploded. There are two videos of them playing it here on youtube, but they're shit quality.

[@moonkream]

I don't blame him, I would do the same

[@thepiedpider12]

My warped tour story is 2014 in Phoenix i went in only a speedo and absolutely slathered in suscreen and the vocalist of this australian band (forgot who they were exactly) said "this ones for the guy in the bungies in the back". I also found another guy doing the speedo thing but he one upped me by wearing a cape too

[@BadGuyTyler]

Normal people: "I punched a guy" Jared: "I fisted a guy in the face"

I guess that woman who brought her kid into the pit became an... Infant Annihilator

[@zerofox641]

Biggest regret is never seeing Paramore or A Day To Remember play Warped Tour. I’ve seen them at big concerts but I wish I could’ve seen them play Warped, the smaller setting and during their 2009 era. Brand New Eyes and Homesick are 2 of my favorite albums of all time. But in 2009 I was only 13 and my mom wouldn’t have let me go alone

[@SurShuru]

My favorite Warped Moment was when I saw Born of Osiris in Dayton, OH and when they played “Follow The Signs” there were random people in the pit that yelled and pointed “go to the *insert name here* sign!” And everyone ran over to that sign and they tried to go to run to as many signs as possible before the song ended. The lead vocalist looked so confused the whole time. It was amazing.

[@rynhawks]

My first warped tour I saw a guy covered heat to toe in blood, he was wearing just a naruto head band and boxers.

[@elluminates_edits]

Lmao I love hearing bands say that Americans can't clap in time 😂😂 idk why it always makes me laugh

[@Oatinator]

My friends were standing about 15 feet away from the girl who died during Chelsea Grin. I don't know if they ever actually confirmed what happened to her, but before Warped she had posted on twitter that she hadn't slept all night, and they believe she was severely dehydrated and possibly had a heart attack.

[@garrett4299]

I remember the Kellin Quinn food thing. Some guy chucked a pack of peanuts at his face , lmao

[@codyhatheway7980]

Garrett, Take A Chill Pill! Lol

[@Zedd.y]

Jared's story about the kid staying 10 feet away reminds me of when i wanted to ask a band for merch after their show but was to shy to aproach them, my step dad had to ask them for me, they were cool, i got all 3 of their albums for half the normal price

[@skeptical_princess0497]

This year was my first/last time at Warped Tour. I went for my 17th birthday and I live in Las Vegas so I was very close to passing out, but so many people sprayed me and the crowd with water. Lots of people were nice to me and I made a new friend who saved me from mosh pits.

[@IntuitionAscension]

During black veil brides “knives and pens”, this one extremely overweight kid kept crowd surfing. He even kicked me in the face once. I think there should be a weight limit on crowd surfing 😑

[@penelopegarcia6573]

Hell yeah! Some big dude fell on my head at an Incubus show.......almost couldn't drive home. 😞

[@slasher233]

[@maxscardanelli6185]

[@skinc4rver]

At Warped Milwaukee, they put Motionless and the smaller Monster stage, and so many people showed up that they had to ask people to leave. No one did, and there was two walls of death and a circle pit.

[@chickenpermission1656]

I got an issue of AP magazine with Silverstein on the cover and they signed it right in front of me. I put it in my pocket and and kept checking to make sure it was there through the whole day. At the august burns red show I crowd surfed and lost it. Soul crushing experience right there.

[@anthef2340]

PLEASE DO A PART 2 THIS WAS FANTASTIC

[@fatboyphl]

My cousin told me this one, she took my aunt to Warped and I forget what band she said was playing but there was a huge pit and my aunt was trying to leave and get water when she got pushed into the pit. Luckily she didn't get hit and eventually got out.

[@metaloutlawguts2853]

One time I was at a Metallica concert and they pointed out a 77 year old granny that had been at their first show!!

[@k01100]

Didn’t know this was an episode till now, definitely need a part 2!!!!!

[@taylorvolleberg]

I'm probably gonna get in trouble for posting this, but if you ever look back on these comments. My best Warped Tour story was going up to the 2018 Warped Tour, me and my best friend thought we could scalp tickets when we got there because it was a last minute decision and somebody has a ticket they're selling. we spent an hour asking anyone and everyone we could find to see if they had a ticket to sell. We passed by the band bus entrance several times and realized, no one is watching this. we walked in, looked at how we were dressed...passed between the Chelsea Grin bus and some other band, right up to the gates and they let us in. we saw the 2018 Warped Tour for free and found out why you shouldn't buy $12 beers at 11 am in the sun and think you can hang till 5. Thats my epic Warped Tour adventure.

During the last Warped Tour in Michigan. during the breakdown of Wage War this guy randomly did a hoedown dance.. I of course joined in. It was awesome!

[@girlsweatshirttt]

[@ptroughneck77]

Best warped tour story was at the Pontiac silverdome not sure the year, but the transplants played and so did dropkick murphys, i was on stage for DKM. & was back in the tour lot after the show partying with the bands, hung with Matt Kelly, & Ken Casey, say Tim Arnstrong walking around with young ladies under his arms almost proving him up. & playing 4,5,6. With some of the bands. Even better was warmup was getting drunk with the koffin kats on Stroh's before they went on. Love those guys!

[@zacharywatson5608]

2018 Nashville I was watching Knocked Loose and as soon as they started their set a kid in the back dropped and started wildly seizing, took the band like a minute and a half to stop and the crowd had no idea. Got help and he turned out okay but it was wild that only me and two other people saw it.

I went to the first warped tour in '96 or so. It was part of Bumbershoot at the Seattle Center. I saw Sublime and Deftones when they were completely unheard of. Deftones completely dominated. L7 was there too. Good times.

[@DarkestFearsGuitar]

My favorite Warped story was there was this one dude in Detroit that had an inflatable dolphin and was crowd-surfing while riding it.

[@ezekielgehr6930]

My best warped tour story: I was eight years old. I was at the gorge. My dad set me down in front of him while we were watching the Adolescents play(A fucking awesome old school punk band) and some dud came barrelling out of the circle pit, into my dad, into me, into the fence. I had a giant goose egg the size of a golf ball. It sure looked it too because of the fence pattern. It was pretty rad. It didn't feel like it at the time but now it sure does.

At this year's Warped Tour a girl I know got a crowd surfer dropped on her head and she was unconscious for 6 hours lol. Woke up in the hospital with no recollection.

[@wildcamlmusic]

Tinkey Park, Illinois 2016. This girl we were with (who was also our ride) went to Chelsea Grin’s set. At the end of the day we were waiting for her for like half an hour until she finally showed up with an enormous shiner. She got decked in the eye and passed out in the crowd, and woke up in the band’s trailer. She said she didn’t remember much but she didn’t fuck any of them and they were super cool about all of it.

[@juanandonlyweabo6813]

the girls name was Taylor Nesseth , just googled this litterally while watching. cause of death was unknown but r.i.p ..her last tweet was talking about goin to the concert :( and being excited

[@xHuGGYXBeARDx]

Even though it's too late, my craziest Warped Tour story would be Atlanta 2004, I found a bag one of the band's roadies or something left begind. Had a book of cds, a Sony walkman cd player, a bunch of condoms, etc and the cash box from that days merch sales which was a little more than 3 grand. I've always wished I could find out who the band was.

Also, warped 2012 in Buffalo I was waiting for For Today's set and Falling in Reverse was playing a stage over so I walked over to check it out [idk why]. Someone threw a phone case and a water bottle at Ronnie Radke and dude freaked out and started saying "fuck Buffalo, fuck NY, we'll never come back here to play, and warped tour will never come here again" and then they stopped playing. For Today was dope tho

[@drewlusc9773]

I had an experience where a guy from the Nashville Tennessee Warped Tour of 2018 when people were having heat illnesses one dude had collapsed in front of me and nearly tripped over him walking over to Mutant Red Dawn Stage for The Amity Affliction.

[@pim7149]

I went to Warped Tour in KC when I was in high school. While I was watching a band I started getting very bad tunnel vision. I told my friend I needed to leave, so we walked out of the crowd to the merch area. I was delirious and stumbling and tripping on vendor tables. Eventually my vision went black and when I came to, I was rushing towards a trash can and puking my guts out. Some shirtless dude with a bow tie carried me to a med tent where myself and 2 other girls shared a puke bucket lol. I had severe heat stroke, among other embarrassing things, and a very intense sunburn that left me blistered and lobster red for days. I still had fun though 😂😂

[@akarbit3r111]

[@startboybebop7837]

Rip Warped Tour. I remember in 2015 Warped in Hartford CT, a girl had to be ambulanced out because she fainted after Vic from Pierce The Veil touched her hand during their set. Recently at this years Warped in Jones Beach during Real Friends' set I saw a crowd surfer got dropped on top of the barricade and when he fell he was convulsing and foaming at the mouth. Everyone around him thought he snapped his neck because of the angle it was in, the band even stopped playing

So yeah, your manager Brian Marquis was struck by lightning during their stop in West Palm Beach back in 2013... for those of you looking for confirmation of that story here in the comments. Confirmed As for the story of the dead girl? That also happened, in 2012 during Chelsea Grin’s set in Toronto. No more information is given, other that was she was a girl (unknown age) found unresponsive on the grass towards the back of the audience. she possibly died of a medical condition - also confirmed.
