I really enjoyed this concert! The meet and greet with All Time Low made it the BEST though. I didn't know this because it was my first time, but I was at the We The Kings and I'm a 14 year old girl, and these moshpits were getting horrible and unbearable. Me and my friends left crying, and the security seemed to do nothing about it except pull off crowd surfers. I think they should try to control it or help the people who look like they aren't in that good of shape or crying. But overall, that was the most amazing concert ever!

It was incredible. As expected, Angels and Airwaves were the most amazing thing ever. Some other bands were pretty good, but AVA owned it. And the ten minutes longer was heaven!

this was my first year at warped and everyone I saw brought it. I was not dissapointed with any band. The crowds were amazing to. Everyone wanted to have a great time and even though the pits were crazy it was all in good fun. My favorites really suprised me. We the Kings kwas amazing and the pit was insane. The suprising band I thought was my personal favorite The Audition. I think they were even suprised in the turn out. For then being on Ernie Ball Stage they killed it! Anyone who saw there performance would of been impressed. Five stars for Warped. It couldn't of been any better!

It was pretty bitchin.

WOW. This show was so amazing. All the bands were just great. My favorites were All Time Low, and Angels & Airwaves. All Time Low was awesome because I absolutely LOVE them and their music. I enjoyed Angels & Airwaves because the crowd wasn't too crazy where we were, but we could still see everything awesomely. I didnt know all the songs, but most of them. We the Kings was great too.umm. I dont know, they were all just awesome. Totally the experience of a lifetime, and definitly going next year!

The show was pretty lame actually. Against Me!'s set was solid even though they played too many of their new songs off of New Wave. The crowd went crazy though and it was a solid performance. The Briggs were amazing when they gave the finger to all the whiney emo bands and had the crowd circle into the other crowd waiting at the other stage. Add to that a set list which I got signed by all four guys. Great set as always. Street Dogs stole the whole show. Mike had the crowd circle around the sound tent and when they finished their amazing set which included favorites like Not Without a Purpose, Tobe's got a drinking problem, and in defense of dorchester, he jumped into the crowd and had us carry him to their tent for the band signing. These three bands made the show worth putting up with the whiney 14 year old girls and scene kids dying to see angels and airwaves and other lame bands like them.

I was pissed that I missed one of my favorite bands that went on first, while I was still stuck in the traffic jam trying to get into the place. I hate that they don't tell you the line up before you get there. That needs to change. Also, the web said gates open at 11:00am, shows start at noon. No, they started at 11:30. But, the fact that I was able to score backstage VIP passes kicked ass, and I met most every band I wanted to!! Got to hang out with some amazingly talented artist, and I feel inspired by the experience. I only gave the show 3 stars because it was overcrowded, disorganized, too expensive for simple things like water, or a map/schedule.

Overall i had an amazing time. The mosh pits were CRAZYYYYYYY! I saw so many people fall on their heads. but security can't do much about that. When We The Kings played, a circle of people [about 50 people] fell because of all the pushing. It was crazzzy. The layout made it hard to find the board where they list the times which bands are supposed to play. Even though it sucked that i missed a couple bands i wanted to see, its Warped Tour.. so that's just how it is.

The website said shows start at 12, but no, it started at 11:30.
And guess who just happens to be on at 11:30?
COBRA STARSHIP.
I think the info needs to be correct before going out to the public, and some things need to be less expensive.
SUCKS ass that Cobra Starship was like first, and missed half their set, but otherwise lineup was amazing this year.
All time low should've had a bigger stage, but that's okay.
They were still amazing live.
Warped tour is amazing, overall.
Best fucking day of my entire life so far. :D

Second time to Chicago was for Warped. Sooo many amazing bands on the bill this year, I just couldn't bear to only attend one date. The weather was gorgeous, so much better than KC. Got to see most of my favorites and a few new and surprising acts. Highlights were seeing TAI/the signing/the listening party. Those boys are love. Seeing Cobra, 3OH!3, The Audition, GCH, SOTY and Between the Trees. One of the best days! Hoping to head back to Chicago next summer for another glorious time.
