(L-R) Tyson Ritter, Justin Pierre, Pete Wentz, Gerard Way, Al Barr & Hayley Williams

This summer, the Vans Warped Tour — music’s last major traveling festival — is calling it quits , citing fatigue, disinterested teens, and a marketplace shift towards blowout weekends over season-long treks. But 13 years ago, Warped nearly collapsed beneath the weight of its own success.

The storm had been brewing for some time. Warped was 11 years old in 2005, and it’d played an integral role in bringing the likes of Green Day, Blink-182, No Doubt, Sublime, and even Eminem to suburban superstardom during the ’90s and early ’00s. An annual Warped trip had become a summertime staple for teens raised on bratty skate punk and ska, but by the middle of the aughts, it had morphed into something completely new. And bigger.

In 2005, a more sensitive, precocious, fashion-focused brand of punk exploded into popular culture. Its eventual poster kids spent the decade’s early years grinding it out in America’s VFW halls, the venerable ethos of Thursday, Saves the Day, and Jimmy Eat World their guiding light. Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance played Warped in ‘04 and after drawing fervent crowds, were signed on for the next year early; by the time June ‘05 rolled around, “Sugar, We’re Goin Down” and “Helena” were MTV staples, improbably climbing the Hot 100. 700,000 kids came out that summer, more than any Warped before or since (for context, last year pulled 300,000). Individual bands regularly sold over $30,000 of merch per day . Bodyguards were needed for the first time. At summer’s end, the tour’s profits hit seven figures. But Warped’s summer-long slog paid another price; across 48 shows in 59 days, musicians and personnel grappled with oversized egos, volatile — if not occasionally hostile — environments, and a sideshow’s worth of distractions far from home, with a massive mainstream audience suddenly watching.

Trending on Billboard

On the first day of Warped’s final trek, we present the firsthand story of its watershed year.

I. “This Was Like the Moon Landing For This Type of Music”

Tyson Ritter, All-American Rejects vocalist-bassist: 2005 Warped Tour was everything people think about when they want to make Warped something of folklore. It was the real thing.

Kevin Lyman, Warped Tour founder & producer: The Warped Tour’s only made money on tickets once, and 2005 was the year. If we turn a profit, it’s from sponsorships and merchandise.

Buddy Nielsen, Senses Fail vocalist: It had everything to do with the scene’s success. This was like the moon landing for this type of music.

Lyman: We’d done some early bookings. The year before, I had Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance on the smaller stage. The audiences weren’t huge at this point, but they were so engaged, so I said, “Gotta bring them on the main [stage].”

Pete Wentz, Fall Out Boy bassist: That was a surreal moment for us. That was when us and My Chemical Romance were both getting on TRL at the same time. It was wild because we’d never experienced that. (Note: all Fall Out Boy quotes in this piece come from a previous Billboard interview ).

Lyman: TRL was so popular… everyone was watching. They grabbed onto these bands, and radio was playing them.

Nielsen: Senses Fail did Warped the year before. My Chem wasn’t My Chem yet, as we know them. Senses Fail wasn’t Senses Fail yet. On Warped Tour 2005, everybody was everybody. Fall Out Boy was Fall Out Boy. You had the most bands that were not only successful but, like, pop music successful.

Matt Watts, The Starting Line guitarist: The whole scene started as a left-of-center, DIY thing. Lots of these bands started at VFW or Knights of Columbus Halls. It was such a personal connection with fans. In 2005, it hit a critical mass.

Nielsen: It was the first time bands had security guards. Pete Wentz and Gerard Way couldn’t get around without them.

Ritter: The difference between those bands and All-American Rejects? Fall Out Boy, three bodyguards. My Chem had a bodyguard.

Lyman: The audience coming to Warped Tour transformed from that hardcore person who was out skating or going to the beach to a crowd that was watching TV all summer. We managed to get them off their couches for one day! But they weren’t ready to be in the sun for nine hours. They would stand in front of the stages all day long waiting for those hit songs. It wasn’t like you could just come, watch those bands and leave; you were there the whole day. By the time the band went on stage, these people hadn’t eaten, hadn’t drank water, hadn’t put sunscreen on, so many of them just collapsed. Our medical tents were full.

Lisa Brownlee, Warped Tour tour manager: I often think of Kevin Lyman as a mad scientist, crossing boundaries that ought not to be crossed when putting together a lineup.

Al Barr, Dropkick Murphys vocalist: Fall Out Turds and My Chemical Shit Pants — that’s what we called them — were both blowing up, and I kept going around Warped Tour the whole day going, “Jesus Christ, this singer must be so tired because he sings for every band!” Because it all sounded the same to an old timer like me. But that’s when I realized I sound like my dad! Those bands? Not my cup of tea at all. But they were working their asses off, just like we did, and nothing was handed to them. They worked for everything they got.

Lyman: The core audience was pretty pissed. We talk about punk rock being all-accepting, but a lot of times, it’s still very niche and very “who’s in their club.” This was before Twitter, so they verbalized it to me on message boards. Well, the club got a lot bigger.

II. “They Were Connecting on a Much Deeper Level Than Most of the Other Bands”

Watts: In the VFW halls, Fall Out Boy put in their 10,000 hours and beyond.

Nielsen: From Under the Cork Tree had just come out. Fall Out Boy was huge.

Watts: They put out the right record at the right time.

Wentz: It was like, Warped Tour happening at the same time [and hearing], “You guys are super famous, but maybe just on Warped Tour!”

Watts: Pete Wentz is a captivating dude. Patrick Stump is a great writer.

Justin Pierre, Motion City Soundtrack vocalist-guitarist: I thought Patrick Stump had an amazing voice. I was very upset at how effortless it seemed. I would have to work 10 times as hard just to pull it off. He was kind of a weirdo, kind of a nerd. I really liked that. There was an unspoken nerd quality we kind of shared. I [recently] found a picture online of us coming back from a Target run… I really dug Patrick a lot.

Watts: Once “Sugar, We’re Goin Down” caught on, it opened up the floodgates.

Andy Hurley, Fall Out Boy drummer: I remember going to a water park right after we’d gotten to number one on TRL that day. I was like, “Yeah, we’re number one!” going down the slides and no one in the park knew at all who we were.

Wentz: They were like, fucking losers!

Lyman: Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance, I put them on at three or four in the afternoon. All the kids would be in the venue by then, but I knew their fans couldn’t hold up til the end of the day.

Watts: My Chemical Romance was connecting on a much deeper level than most of the other bands.

Lyman: A lot of merchandise was being sold. This is where Kate Truscott — who [now] helps run my company — was recognized because she was the merchandise person for My Chemical Romance. They were selling half a semi-truck of merchandise a day at that point. It was crazy.

Kate Truscott, My Chemical Romance merch manager: I was out on the road with Chevelle, working for a company called BandMerch. I got a call that this new band needed somebody because they were suddenly doing way bigger numbers than anybody expected. They had some guy doing their merch and frankly, he was blowing it. Heather Hannoura [now Heather Gabel] did some shirts for us. Some of the stuff I was selling then is still for sale at Hot Topic. There were gloves with bones on them. They had fingers and no one bought them, so I would cut the fingertips off and then kids loved them!

Watts: There were tons of kids coming out dressed in My Chem-appropriate attire. I use the term “goth vibes” responsibly: dark hair, black or red t-shirt, eye makeup.

Truscott: One part of the summer, [guitarist] Frank Iero thought he was having some sort of brain bleed; He was blowing his nose and this red stuff was coming out. A doctor looked at it and was like, “Dude, that’s makeup.”

Lyman: Some days, I heard they were doing $30,000 to $50,000 in merchandise.

Truscott: Our highest day was $60,000, which to my knowledge, is a record that’s yet to be beaten by any band on Warped. It was in Detroit, a 30,000-person show at the Silverdome. Headed to banks on days off, our tour manager would be like, “What’s in your backpack? You can’t walk to the bank with $250,000 on you!”

Watts: When you see bands changing pop culture, you see fans embracing their style.

Truscott: The only band that had more items for sale than us was the Murphys. They used Warped as a warehouse sale every summer [ Laughs ].

Lyman: Dropkick Murphys were probably the highest paid band on that year’s tour. Them and the Offspring were probably both making $15,000 to $17,000 [per show]. I had to book Fall Out Boy, $1,500. Atreyu, $1,500. Story of the Year, probably $750. I was delivering this whole package of bands. I don’t have the exact price, but I could probably tell you it was about $125,000 a show, talent-wise. You had to try to be right on the edge.

Nielsen: Everybody was literally printing money. Everybody was stoked.

Lyman: Fall Out Boy tended to go out, hang around the parties a little more… My Chemical Romance, I don’t think anyone in the band was really a partier.

Truscott: There was nothing salacious. Frank is still married to the girl he was dating back then. [Guitarist] Ray [Toro] is still with the same girl. Gerard’s had a couple different girlfriends, but it was like, three in the 20 years I’ve known him, and now he’s married.

Lyman: They were always nice to the women on our tour, the girls working with these bands.

Truscott: I had a boxset of the Charmed DVDs. Gerard came by asking what they were about. I’m like, “It’s about witches that own a bar,” and he was like, “I can get behind that.”

Ritter: You’d stroll this alley of buses and see Gerard doing a sketch in front of the headlights on the ground in front of his bus. He was too shy to talk to the group, but he could still sit out in front of his bus drawing a piece of art, which I thought was so fun. He would get in front of the headlights and show off his talent.

Truscott: Gerard was always doing art. He hung out by himself a lot, drank coffee. A lot of coffee.

Pierre: I think someone was like, “Oh he’s sober, too! You should hang out!”

Truscott: We all lived on the same bus together. They turned the back lounge of our bus into a studio. My bunk was right up against it. I remember when they were writing “I Don’t Love You” [from 2006’s Welcome to the Black Parade ]. Bob [Bryar] put a drum kit in the back and Gerard was doing vocals. It was four in the morning and I remember hearing the lyrics and opening the door like, “That’s a fucking brutal song!”

III. “Rockstar Shit Was Going On”

Lyman: We were at the Pontiac Silverdome in Detroit and 30,000 people showed up. That might’ve been the second biggest Warped show of all time. We had this massive show at the sports arena at Long Beach State, outside of L.A.. That was probably the biggest show.

Truscott: I was selling merch out of a 10 foot by 10 foot tent. The crowd would push into it, start crushing into us. I had to get up on the table a couple times and say nobody was getting anything until everybody calmed down. There was a day in Camden, NJ — the site was too small for the crowd there — I had to stand on my table and wave down security because kids were moshing and throwing themselves inside our tent.

Watts: There’d be signings all day. There was no barrier between the artists and the fans.

Ritter: All-American Rejects, Fall Out Boy, and My Chem — we’d do signings all day, every day. You’d try to get through 400 people in two hours. It became a chore, literally sitting for 400 people that walked by you asking, “Hi, how are ya?”

Pierre: I always liked hanging out, signing things, meeting the people that liked our music. That was my favorite thing I did, next to performing.

Watts: I bought a Metro scooter — basically a fake Vespa — for like $500. I would cruise around after shows to find hotel swimming pools and go swimming a bunch. Because the shower situation at Warped is sometimes less than ideal.

Brownlee: I couldn’t get from stage to stage fast enough to see the bands I wanted to see. The bill was so stacked.

Ritter: When you play Warped, you get thirty minutes. These were thirty-minute sets.

Watts: There are no “set” set times. It’s sort of drawn from a lottery in the morning.

Nielsen: How did our sets sound? Fucking terrible [ Laughs ]. Back then we were still figuring it out. Generally nobody really sounds that great at Warped Tour. It’s windy and hot.

Lyman: We had a massive storm July 15 at Race City Motorsport Park in Calgary, Alberta. We had a lot of storms through the years, but that one was crazy. It looked like just clouds coming, but it was actually clouds of dust and wind. It blew tents 25 feet in the air. When it hit, the Transplants were onstage. I’ll never forget them playing while I was trying to hold all the tents down.

Barr: Transplants were on that tour. I spent a ton of time with my friend [Transplants vocalist] Skinhead Rob [Aston].

Nielsen: You had [Transplants drummer] Travis Barker walking around with his television show Meet the Barkers .

Barr: One day I was going over to see Skinhead Rob, and this guy from MTV was getting thrown out of their bus because he had asked Travis and Rob if they got dressed up in monkey suits for fun. Rob just lost his shit on the guy.

Lyman: Billy Idol was trying to make a reconnection with fans, so they wanted him to play some Warped dates in between his own tour routing.

Nielsen: Billy Idol! Billy Idol was fucking hilarious. He did not know what Warped Tour was. You never wanted to be playing near him because you had to deal with him starting late and his set going over 10 minutes. He didn’t give a shit.

Lyman: You don’t start the stage next door until the other band is done. In Minnesota, it was a nightmare. My stage managers weren’t communicating and there was a meltdown onstage and they started both stages, so you had Billy Idol singing “Rebel Yell” and then Fall Out Boy singing something. It was merging into this mashup by my tour bus.

Nielsen: He’d come out of the bus shirtless talking to himself like, “WHITE WEDDING!”, practicing his vocals. Billy Idol was fucking wild, just on another planet.

Barr: I remember walking around thinking, who is this heavy, ferocious punk band playing? And I’m like, oh my god, it’s the Offspring. Now the Offspring are a great band but they’re not a ferocious punk band. But on the backdrop of all these pop-punk and emo bands…

Nielsen: [Frontman] Dexter [Holland] was flying in a plane from show to show. One time he took our tour manager: “Come fly to the next show!”

Lyman: He didn’t know these bands but he’d invite them to go to the next city with him. If you were sitting here in Cincinnati and he would say, “Hey Kevin, I want to take so-and-so to Chicago with me. Can you put them on by 6 so we can be at the airport by 8?” He would fly the band, pick up a couple hotel rooms for them, and go party in the city.

Nielsen: Rockstar shit was going on.

Lyman: Then you had Avenged Sevenfold. You knew they were gonna be big because they were the first band that ever showed up on Warped Tour with a smoke machine.

Nielsen: You’d look up in the sky and see a cloud of smoke and be like, “Avenged Sevenfold must be on!” Broad daylight, it looks like the stage is on fire.

Lyman: Avenged Sevenfold always liked to gamble — dice and poker. The Offspring, too, but not Dexter. Cee-lo, I’m sure the Murphys were in the middle of that.

Barr: I myself wasn’t, but our crew were big into poker. They’d play with Avenged Sevenfold almost every night.

Watts: The first night of tour, I remember our drummer, Tom Gryskewicz cleaning up against… I think it was one of the Transplants dudes. Tom came back to the bus with money and we were all like, “What did you do?” I think he probably ended up losing it back to those dudes at some point.

Spencer Chamberlain, Underoath vocalist: A band — who we won’t name — needed money. We let them borrow money and they all came back with new clothes and tattoos.

Aaron Gillespie, Underoath drummer-vocalist: Oh my god, that’s right! They were struggling on the tour…

Chamberlain: They were struggling with something else. But we can’t say, because people might know. They went to the Christian band, knowing we’d be giving.

Gillespie: Did we give them a bunch of money or a little bit?

Chamberlain: A bunch.

IV. “I’ve Got These Girl Bands, Can I Set Up?”

Lyman: Shira? My God. How do these people come into your life, you know?

Shira Yevin, Shiragirl vocalist; Shiragirl Stage founder and producer: I was on the tour in 2003, working for the Truth campaign as an emcee. I noticed there were very few, if any, females onstage. I didn’t understand why. I lived in Brooklyn at the time, and was friends with all sorts of all-girl punk and hardcore bands. My band approached Kevin in 2004.

Lyman: Shira just showed up with her stage. Just showed up. In Englishtown, NJ, with this pink truck: “I’ve got these girl bands, can I set up?”

Yevin: He said, “Okay, great idea, maybe next year. It’s the tour’s tenth anniversary, we got a lot going on.” I said, “Next year?!”

Lyman: She’s from New Jersey, so you know how progressive people from New Jersey won’t take no for an answer.

Yevin: We ended up crashing the tour. I drove in with my pink RV and just set up — super scrappy punk rock. Kevin walked by and loved it: “Shira, this is great. So are you on for the whole tour now?”

Lyman: Next thing you know, she’s hanging over by my bus, hitting me up about how she’s going to do the Shiragirl Stage in 2005.

Shiragirl Talks Hitting the Road For Final Warped Tour, Shares Punk Pop Anthem 'Summers Comin'…

Yevin: 2005 was the year we made it legit. His team helped us get sponsorships for the stage. MySpace was our media partner. We hand-painted their logo on our truck. We did the whole application process for the Shiragirl Stage through MySpace. In the 2005 music scene, MySpace was a big platform for how new artists came up. The Dollyrots played that year and were amazing. L7’s bassist Jennifer Finch had this side project called The Shocker — it was really cool to have them on Shiragirl. They repped old-school Warped.

Truscott: We were a pretty strong bunch of babes, the other women on Warped Tour. We stuck together and the guys were really supportive of us. It was probably the opposite of what everybody would expect me to say — that it was really hard and that I had to really earn my stripes. But that wasn’t a big issue. They saw me work hard and we all respected each other. I remember there was a day some kid stole from me at My Chem’s merch table. A bunch of the other guys saw it and chased him down and brought him back to me.

Yevin: We were not taken seriously. At first, especially. We showed up in this beat-up truck and there were bets against how long we would last. By the end, they respected us a lot more.

V. “I Know a Lot of Real Hard Motherfuckers”

Watts: The cookouts were probably the highlight of Warped Tour. The sun goes down and it’s not 100 degrees anymore!

Pierre: Everybody had to come to lunch and dinner, if you wanted to eat. It made me kind of nervous, like high school in a way. If I’m by myself, shit, where do I sit? I kind of know these people, but I kind of don’t. I heard that people thought I was a huge asshole because I didn’t talk to anyone, but I was too nervous.

Watts: Justin was a little bit more introverted, but he was always incredibly welcoming to us. I remember Motion City Soundtrack hitting their stride that year. Commit This to Memory had just come out. They were one of the few indie-alternative, left-of-center-leaning bands. They came from a different world, but still hit all the boxes for a fan going to Warped Tour.

Pierre: I bonded with Gerard over Coke Zero, which had just come out. I was in their bus for some reason: “Oh my god, you got Coke Zero?” If I’m drinking Coke Zero in ’05, I think I was sober then, because that’s when I basically went from alcohol to caffeine. I would drink four or five Monster Energy Drinks a day. It was really bad. I’d reward myself after playing a show with two Monster Energy Drinks [ Laughs ].

Watts: This was before people were on their cell phones 24/7. So it was one of the last times in my life I remember just hanging out with a bunch of people and not having a phone, not being interrupted by anything like that. Just shared experiences, shared connections.

Senses Fail's Buddy Nielsen Fights to Survive a Chaotic Present & His Band's Toxic Past

Nielsen: There used to be huge parties afterwards, sort of a teen movie set thing.

Ritter: It was like Grease on the road. Everybody was looking for their Sandra Dee.

Nielsen: There’d be 20,000 people at each show and afterwards, two or three thousand would wind up getting backstage. It was a different time. You weren’t as worried about five thousand people partying at the end of the night — epic bonfire parties with every band and also people that found a way to stay. If you stayed long enough, security left, so…

Ritter: I was 20. I’m 34 now. So think I remember my M-O was, okay the show’s over, who’s gonna get me stoned?

? Lyman: Warped kind of self-regulates on drugs and alcohol because it’s such a hard-working tour and you don’t know when you’re gonna play. I was out every night; if someone goes a little hard at a party, what’s the best cure for that? Put them on 11:30 the next morning. Be the first band up. That’ll cure people.

Gillespie: We drank, but we weren’t like, partying hard.

Watts: There was definitely drinking, but there weren’t a lot of drugs. We were never a drug band, so if there was, it didn’t hit our orbit.

Nielsen: I was pretty much YOLO-ing every moment of every day. I was 21 running around smoking weed, drinking beer, hanging out.

Lyman: During this period, there were maybe some pills going around Warped, but I don’t know.

Ritter: It was all about the nomadic journey of the night. You’d bounce from bus to bus, picking up a beer, hitting on a girl, hitting on whoever you were hitting on.

Barr: I’ll omit their name, but there was a band that got drunk and decided to disrespect Steve O’Sullivan, who was head of Warped Tour’s security at the time. We were in Phoenix, his wife was pregnant with their first kid, and he was riding in the car with her and this band was drunk and standing in the way. They asked him to move and got in his face, in his wife’s face. The next day I assembled a group of characters you’d look at and say, “I don’t want to fight one of these guys, let alone have one of them come into my tent.” I know a lot of real hard motherfuckers. [We confronted the band and] said, “So you’re the band that decided to disrespect Steve O’Sullivan and his pregnant wife? Shut your little tent down, you’re gonna find Steve, and you’re gonna throw yourself down at his knees and apologize to him. If we don’t hear you’ve done this in the next twenty minutes, we’re gonna be back.” Five minutes later, Steve pulls up on his golf cart like, “What did you do? They were so apologetic and so polite!”

Nielsen: People would throw water. It was like, dude, it’s 90 degrees out — don’t throw it. Every day, you’re getting nailed with water being thrown from the crowd.

Lyman: Buddy from Senses Fail, to be honest, was a shithead mostly. He hadn’t grown up yet.

Nielsen: We were playing Phoenix and someone threw a fucking jug of water. I caught it by the handle and whipped it back into the crowd as hard as I could and literally watched it bee-line a hundred yards and slam this girl right in the face. This poor young girl, I think she was like 16 years old. I ended up knocking out one of her teeth, totally by accident. I wound up corresponding with her father and her afterwards. I remember we invited her to a show, gave her some merch and were really sorry.

Lyman: Buddy was one of those kids that we knew we had redeeming qualities. So we kept working with Buddy. You don’t want to write him off, you know? Another member of Senses Fail [now ex-member] got taken behind the bus, because he wore a shirt that had the C-word on it. I know the Dropkick Murphys and the Transplants were involved. He got taken behind the bus and they said, “Look, you’re going to either get rid of that shirt because you see all the women running this, or you’re going to eat the shirt. If you ever wear it again you’re going to lose option one.”

VI. “This Was Paramore ’s First Tour”

Lyman: We had [the traveling punk and hardcore tour] Taste of Chaos [in early 2005] and Livia Tortella [of Atlantic Records] goes, “Hey, Kevin you’ve got to check out this girl Hayley Williams and Paramore.”

Gillespie: We were friends with Paramore. We met Hayley when she was 16 and [drummer] Zac [Farro] was 14. Hayley opened up acoustic for us on Taste of Chaos.

Lyman: I put her on right before Killswitch Engage. She held her own. I was like, “Okay, we have to figure this out for Warped.” But I didn’t have anywhere to put them because I already booked the tour… So I turned Shira on to her and she figured it out for the Shiragirl Stage.

Yevin: The label flew me down to see the band in Orlando, and once I saw it, I got it. They were amazing — 16 years old! Hayley’s dad was the tour manager.

Lyman: I remember the station wagon… Dad was still driving them around at that point.

Yevin: This was Paramore’s first tour.

Chamberlain: Paramore were like our little brothers. We hung out with them. They had similar viewpoints on life and we just got along with those kids. I think we all knew they were gonna be big.

Yevin: They were actually signed to Atlantic, but their music was put out by Fueled By Ramen. So they had label support, but they were a new band. They were doing a lot of the Christian rock festivals. They came out on Warped right when their first album was coming out. The kids just loved it. The early crowds were huge.

Chamberlain: Zac was like a little mini-Aaron. He would hit [the drums] so hard that the drum riser broke once.

Yevin: Hayley was just one of the guys. That was sort of her thing. She wore the same t-shirt every day, the red and blue striped shirt she wears in the “All We Know” video . She was very sweet, polite, very reserved. No makeup. Just came on, did her set, went back in the van, read her book. It was a little bit of a culture shock for us. We were these radical feminist punk rock riot grrrls. They were a very reserved band. They prayed before they went onstage. They kinda kept to themselves, but they killed it onstage.

Gillespie: Hayley’s the real fucking deal. Deserves everything she’s got.

VII. “Sonny Moore’s Halo Name Was Skrillex”

Chamberlain: ’05 was the first Warped Tour with [Tampa/L.A.-based post-hardcore band] From First to Last. We’d taken them on their first tour with [vocalist] Sonny Moore, so we were already buddies.

Nielsen: This was when Wes Borland was in From First to Last. That blew my mind. Why the hell is a guy from Limp Bizkit here? I remember hanging out with Sonny and giving him a hard time, as a joke. And then he fucking turns into Skrillex [ Laughs ]. Ridiculous.

Chamberlain: They used to come to our tour bus to play Halo . Sonny Moore’s Halo name was Skrillex.

Gillespie: He was having trouble with his voice back then.

Chamberlain: He was such a sweetheart, and he had a lil’ personality on him, too. He would ask me, “How do you guys sing every night?”

Lyman: The following year, he kind of changed to a kid named Skrillex. He came to Pomona, Cali. and played one of his first shows… Then I tried to book him that following summer and I think I could have got him for $1,500. I said, “He’s just sitting playing music on a computer, who the hell’s gonna care about this?” But I liked him a lot. Then by that next year, he was making $100,000 a gig or something.

VIII. “Equal Parts Relief and Sadness”

Ritter: I think we played 19, 20 days in a row. By the end of it I wasn’t even talking. I was just giving sign language to people, clicks and whistles!

Truscott: It ended in Boston: pouring rain, muddy, muggy New England summer day. Everybody was just done.

Pierre: When it ended? Equal parts relief and sadness.

Yevin: We were just grateful to have survived on our end. And we knew we were gonna do it the next year. There were bets against us saying we weren’t gonna make it. But we did. We got an MTV Warpie Award — “most punk rock way to win a place in the family.”

Lyman: What were our profits that year? That year was seven figures.

Warped Tour 2018 Lineup: All Time Low, Simple Plan & 3OH!3 Return for Final Run

Watts: The Starting Line toured with Fall Out Boy again in the fall, on the Nintendo Fusion Tour alongside Motion City Soundtrack, Boys Night Out, and Panic! At the Disco. I wonder what venues that tour would get if it happened in 2018; Panic! is bigger than they ever were. Same thing with Fall Out Boy. We’d be happy to be along for the ride. We’d play outdoors if we had to!

Chamberlain: I think a lot of the younger bands now are kind of why Warped Tour’s ending. Warped Tour was a place where kids went to see bands they loved and discover new bands. Somehow over the last couple years it changed to bands on their first record with two busses, bodyguards, personal assistants. I think kids weren’t feeling as connected.

Gillespie: It was so about discovery.

Chamberlain: It got to be about how big of a rockstar you are.

Gillespie: And that’s not why Kevin started it.

Lyman: Relationships in this business were a lot different then. You could talk to someone and plan on working with them for a few years, you know? And they would understand that the first couple years, they weren’t helping you sell tickets. But hopefully that third year, they were actually helping to pull other bands like them along. A Day To Remember played one show in 2005, on the Ernie Ball battle of the Bands Stage. And then they fell into that same cycle, playing four more years… Now, that doesn’t exist in this world. Bands say, “Oh, we need Warped Tour to get to an audience” and then they decide to change their direction as a band.

Brownlee: If you have been on Warped Tour as long as I have (and you’re as old as I am), it’s very difficult to have recall memory on specifics, including years. I wish I had the foresight to keep a journal for times like these… Our memories are a series of embellished half-truths. But in terms of the Vans Warped Tour, truth has always been stranger than fiction.

Vans Warped Tour Moves A Date To Give Fans The Chance To Attend Both Panic! At The Disco And Warped Tour

Concert Review: Panic! at the Disco Brings Theatrical Flair to Forum

By Alex Stedman

Alex Stedman

News Editor, Variety.com

At one particularly crowd-pleasing point during Panic! at the Disco ‘s show Friday at the Forum, Brendon Urie played the group’s cover of one of the “Greatest Showman” songs, from the recent tribute album devoted to that film, and it’s not hard to see why he would gravitate to the musical.

Urie’s so much of a showman in every sense of the word that sometimes this Los Angeles arena stop on the band’s “Pray for the Wicked” tour felt like a circus, too. But through psychedelic light shows and major stage theatrics, Urie remained an ever-capable ringmaster, showing off and showing why he’s got the charisma, musical talent and stamina to be one of music’s longest-lasting leading men.

Urie started the show by jumping out from the floor, kicking off a fast-moving show with “(F— a) Silver Lining.” From there, he played nearly all of the group’s latest album, while sprinkling in surprising deep cuts like “Ready to Go” and “Casual Affair.” He barely addressed the audience in the concert’s first act, but that didn’t make it impersonal. He let loose on songs like “Hey Look Ma, I Made It” and “Dancing’s Not a Crime,” and even when he’s slightly uncoordinated, his joy is infectious — look no further than the ever-fluid crowd for proof.

He did get more personal, though, after the concert’s first hour — and, somehow, more theatrical. For “Death of a Bachelor,” he got down in the crowd to walk through and personally shake hands while accepting some Valentine’s Day roses. It was a charming moment as, during the song’s percussion break, he took time to thank individuals for coming out. From there, he transitioned to perhaps the most memorable part of the show.

Popular on Variety

Taking to a white piano near the back of the Forum, he shared an anecdote about having an aversion to learning how to play the instrument as a child, but knowing he’d be more receptive to playing songs that he actually liked. He then launched into a rendition of Bonnie Raitt’s “I Can’t Make You Love Me” as the platform he and the piano were on lifted up toward the ceiling, floating across the auditorium as he transitioned into his own “Dying in L.A.” It was perhaps the highlight, and certainly the most personal moment, of the show, offering a breathtaking display as Urie’s small floating stage was brightened by the lights of hundreds of cell phones.

This was stunning #PrayforTheWickedTour pic.twitter.com/v563pKJeCJ — Alex Stedman (@a_sted) February 16, 2019

Audience participation played a strong role in another one of the show’s standout moments. Upon finding their seats, ticket-buyers could find a heart-shaped message instructing them to shine their phone’s flashlight during “Girls/Girls/Boys,” which has taken on a life of its own as a celebration of bisexuality, as part of #PATDhearts , a fan-created movement aimed at promoting unity and acceptance. When Urie played the song shortly after getting back to the stage, fans followed the instructions, lighting up the stadium with lights of all colors as Urie donned a rainbow cape and diverse faces and the word “Love” flashed on the screen behind him. It was a powerful moment, and Urie took the time after to acknowledge those who might be bullied or marginalized. “You do belong,” he told the crowd.

Later, he played Queen’s classic “Bohemian Rhapsody,” which isn’t a new stunt, as he acknowledged. The band has been playing the song live ever since recording a cover for the “Suicide Squad” soundtrack. But since the Queen biopic named after the operatic hit found major success at the box office and awards circuit, it had a new resonance — or at least the younger set of fans might have been better able to sing along. And there’s no doubt that Urie has the vocal chops that would likely impress Freddie Mercury himself. Throughout the entire concert, he experimented with everything from astonishing falsettos to guttural growls, showing off a incredibly wide vocal range and a practiced control over it.

Urie, whether he was strutting or pausing to let loose on the drums, could easily anchor the concert without all the smoke and mirrors. But that doesn’t mean the stage set-up wasn’t gorgeous. The stage, in the shape of his “Pray for the Wicked” triangle, came to life often, allowing Urie to lift up from and descend down into for easy transitions. It was a sensory overload, and there was always something to look at. That includes his band: bassist Nicole Row and guitarist Mike Naran ooze cool and played off each other and the crowd, often leading the stage while Urie was gone between songs. Even the percussion sections had simple choreographed moves at certain points.

It’s worth noting that Urie largely stayed away from his earliest music — except, of course, “I Write Sins Not Tragedies,” the song that catapulted Panic! into Warped Tour superstardom. If Urie’s tired of playing the hit , it’d be understandable. But he turned it into a moment of gratitude, reflecting on pretending to be a rock star in front of the mirror as a child to the tune of Blink 182’s “All the Small Things.”

“To be here now, you know, as like a rock star, you’re not supposed to get all sentimental and tear up a little bit — but I get a little bit choked, and it’s very cool, and it’s all because you guys let me live the dream,” he said, launching into “I Write Sins” as the song “that got it all started for Panic!”

It was the penultimate song, as Urie ended with “Victorious,” which was quite fitting. The show, as Urie played his new songs and seemed to have a ball, came across as a victory lap for the musician. And after Friday night’s show, it’s easy to say that victory lap was well deserved.

The RIAA platinum selling release was the highest selling rock album and fourth-highest selling album released in 2016, according to Nielsen Soundscan. “DOAB” has also spawned RIAA certified gold singles “Hallelujah,” “LA Devotee,” Don’t Threaten Me With A Good Time,” and platinum singles “Death Of A Bachelor,” “Emperor’s New Clothes,” and “Victorious.” The band’s song “House of Memories” off of DOAB is currently having a TikTok moment with over 2.1 billion views.

Panic! At The Disco Concert Review: The Good, The Bad, and The Great… In That Order

Cheers rang through TD Garden as an ominous hourglass appeared on screen along with a 10-minute countdown timer slowly ticking away as fans eagerly awaited the start of Panic! At The Disco’s Boston show on Sept. 28. As the seconds ticked to zero, the lights dimmed and smoke began to billow out from the stage as a nervous buzz crept over the crowd. The tension broke as the band’s iconic logo flashed on stage while a camera followed frontman Brendon Urie backstage through the opening bars of “Say Amen (Saturday Night),” before emerging, clad in all black, to the roar of fans screaming along as he sang out “Oh, It’s Saturday Night.”

Despite the Wednesday night time slot, the crowd brought the energy of a weekend performance cheering and singing along through some of Panic! At The Disco’s greatest hits over the first six tracks on the setlist. The opening song was followed up by high energy crowd-pleasers “Hey Look Ma, I Made It” and “Don't Threaten Me With a Good Time.” But even these high-energy tracks couldn’t top the sheer cacophony of 19,000 people unapologetically screaming along as Urie belted out the cathartic “if you love me let me go” while singing his 2013 hit “This is Gospel.” The band closed out Act I of the concert with “Emperor's New Clothes,” leaving fans in darkness as Urie disappeared from the stage.

Almost everything about Panic! At The Disco has changed since the release of the band’s debut album “A Fever You Can't Sweat Out” back in 2005. Three of the band’s four original members left the project, and after years of shuffling, the Panic! moniker has come to describe Urie as well as a changing cast of “touring members.”

On the “Viva Las Vengeance Tour,” Panic! At The Disco takes a big risk, playing the entirety of their newest album of the same name from front to back in order. No pauses. No breaks. No interjections.

It’s a risk that not only leaves the show with an hour-long stretch without any of the band’s greatest hits, but also leads to a natural comparison between the band’s older, darker sound and their new brighter image. Something Urie leans into, swapping out his black rhinestone jacket for a brightly colored suit jacket when remerging for Act II.

The decision garnered mixed audience reactions. Particularly, given that “Viva Las Vengeance” was not a well received album (though it’s not nearly as bad as former emo kids on TikTok would lead you to believe). For casual listeners, or even just hardcore core fans who prefer Panic!’s older sound, the contrast between the earlier crowd-pleasers and “Viva Las Vengeance” was stark. As one concert-goer poignantly put it, “I’ll pee during Viva Las Vengeance.”

But more than anything, the setlist was indicative of where Panic! At The Disco’s priorities lie. With 17 years in the music industry and dozens of hits, Panic! At The Disco has reached the point where not everything the audience wants can make it into the show. And while playing the band’s newest album in its entirety may not be a popular decision among casual concert-goers and older fans, it demonstrates an admirable commitment to Panic! fans who have remained dedicated through the band's evolution.

One thing that was constant across the three acts was the incredible production and stage design. Lighting played a key role in facilitating the transitions between acts, offering gorgeous visual cues onstage to complement both the moodier tone of Acts I and III as well as the blinding brightness of Act II.

And while the setlist is unconventional, not even the hit-or-miss tracks on “Viva Las Vengeance” can fetter Urie’s pure vocal talent. His ability to ascend through an ever-rising vocal range continues to impress, even as the constant high-pitch notes border on grating.

To the relief of many, Urie again disappeared from the stage as the final notes of “Do It to Death” rang through the venue, marking the end of Act II and promising a return to Panic! At The Disco’s greatest hits. When Urie returned to the stage, now wearing a white jacket, it was to sing “Girls / Girls / Boys,” in a celebration of bisexuality as rainbows bathed the stage, and audience members used their flashlights and colored pieces of paper to create a rainbow sea.

Through the end of the concert, it was a non-stop string of Panic!’s best tracks including “House of Memories,” “Nine in the Afternoon,” and “Death of a Bachelor.” No one in the audience missed a single word while singing along to “I Write Sins Not Tragedies” — the uncontested highlight of the night. Finally the show ended with performances of “Victorious” and the ever optimistic “High Hopes.”

It’s said that the only things people remember are first and last impressions. With a strong start and triumphant finish, that was certainly the case with the “Viva Las Vengeance Tour” as audience members filed out of TD Garden smiling from ear to ear.

As we say goodbye to Warped Tour as we know it Setlist has been busy revisiting some of the amazing past line-ups. We’ve seen bands like Blink-182, Fall Out Boy, No Doubt, My Chemical Romance and Paramore join the cross country punk rock summer camp. But then there’s bands we never saw, some of which may surprise you. So here’s a list of nine bands you might not realize never played on Warped Tour:

Tegan and Sara - The sister songwriters were actually offered a spot on Warped Tour years ago, but turned it down. The reason, according to Tegan, was “At that point we weren’t into festivals. Especially in those years, we were a much more organic band, so we had like 10 guitars on stage.”

Smash Mouth - If all you know is “All Star,” you might be confused by this one. But Smash Mouth’s first album Fush Yu Mang was a mix of pop, punk and ska that is exactly the sort of thing you’d expect on Warped. They never gave up trying, though.

Queens of the Stone Age - Despite their resonance with the Warped Tour fanbase and their alt-metal sound, QotSA never appeared on a Warped Tour stage. Possibly one of the most “wished-for” bands on a Warped line-up.

Avril Lavigne - Before you scream and throw things, remember that Katy Perry was on Warped Tour in 2008. So Avril appearing on the tour wouldn’t have been totally out of left field and actually might have been a better fit given her punk influenced sound and look. So while you probably saw a lot of girls who looked like her at certain venues, that was never the actual Avril Lavigne. Sorry.

Dashboard Confessional - Somehow the band who’s name is synonymous with “emo” was never part of a Warped Tour line-up. They did, however, take part in Taste of Chaos and were one of the early bands to take part in the Honda Civic Tour.

The Promise Ring - Looking at the list of bands who played during the early years of Warped, it’s kind of weird not to see The Promise Ring listed. While they’ve always been more of a cult band, their influence on bands that have since taken the stage at Warped is undeniable.

At The Drive In - For all the splits and reunions we’ve seen from this band, not one of them has involved Warped Tour. Not only that, but Mars Volta, founded by ATDI members Cedric Bixler-Zavala and Omar Rodríguez-López, never played a Warped Tour either.

Fugazi - While acts like Goldfinger, Bad Religion, Adolescents, NOFX and even Joan Jett appear on the list of Warped Tour alums, Fugazi is conspicuously missing. Classic punk has always had a place on Warped, but one of the most formative bands in modern punk rock never set foot on a Warped Tour stage.

Panic! at the Disco - Probably the most surprising entry on this list, if only because of how Warped Tour was once ruled by bands from Fueled by Ramen/Decaydance. But Panic’s success happened so quickly that they were headlining a solo tour within a year of their first album’s release. Brendon Urie did perform at the Warped 15th Anniversary party, but he was billed as part of “The Decaydance All Stars.”

This LA and OC concert series is pulling strings for music fans: Meet the Emo Orchestra

D uring an especially rough patch in husband and wife Ben and Kristen Mench-Thurlow’s lives, the two were reminded of the cathartic powers of emo music. A longtime love for the genre, paired with Ben’s background as a booking agent in the contemporary and performing arts industry sparked a unique idea for a show: a fusion of the raw passion of emo music with the grandeur of orchestral arrangements.

“We wanted to work on a show that would blend both worlds and bring new fans into a traditional setting in front of a band they love, with music they grew up with and a whole new element of an orchestra,” Ben Mench-Thurlow said during a recent phone call.

The co-production by the Mench-Thurlows became Emo Orchestra, a pairing of a rock band’s live performance with an orchestra. The 15-piece group of instrumentalists, led by conductor Evan Rogers, first went on tour in the fall of 2023 with Hawthorne Heights, performing just under 30 shows in the U.S. Each of the events features original songs from a rock band, along with emo anthem covers from other acts including My Chemical Romance , New Found Glory, Panic! At The Disco, Blink-182 and more.

The production’s second iteration will spotlight an orchestral collaboration with Escape the Fate and hit tour stops at the Garden Amp in Garden Grove on Friday, May 17 and the Orpheum Theatre on Saturday, May 18.

Escape the Fate’s performance includes their catalog of hits and new songs from “Out of the Shadows 2.0,” the group’s latest album released in April. For lead vocalist Craig Mabbitt, there was always hope he’d hear the band’s music with an orchestra.

“It’s been amazing on a personal artistic level to hear these songs with the orchestral arrangements, and just the whole vibe of the tour is amazing,” Mabbitt said. “It’s in beautiful theaters that you wouldn’t necessarily see these types of bands play normally without the live orchestra. It’s also a celebration of the music and nostalgia of the good (and) bad memories that you might have.”

A subgenre of hardcore punk, emo, is short for emotional and is characterized by raw, pained and vulnerable lyrics. For the emo-naive, a sample serving of the music might include Rites of Spring’s “All There Is” to My Chemical Romance’s “I’m Not Okay” and Dashboard Confessional’s “Screaming Infidelities.” Today the subgenre has been adopted across music fueled by angsty teens from pop star Olivia Rodrigo’s “pretty isn’t pretty” to the late rapper Lil Peep’s “Better Off (Dying).”

“Teenagers are going through the same, if not worse, things that we went through when we were teenagers, and this music really helped a lot of us growing up,” Mench-Thurlow said.

Emo music was the soundtrack of Mench-Thurlow’s adolescence, so becoming a booking agent for some of the genre’s most prominent names was a natural progression. Today, he is a music touring agent at Reliant Talent Agency. As an emo at heart, he understood that the genre has a history of incorporating instrumentals, and what better way to pull on the broody heartstrings of fans than using the actual strings of an orchestra?

“Bands in the scene from The Used, Story of the Year and Underoath used string sections in those early and mid-2000s records,” he said. “It just pairs so well with this music and bands that helped shape this genre of emo and alternative rock. There’s something emotional and special about stringed instruments and hearing a cello or bass play that low. You can’t get that timber out of any other guitar, bass, keyboard or synth. It’s got to be live.”

Each Emo Orchestra show is meticulously curated to create a gothic and high-culture setting, the stage is lit with candles, and a ‘busking corner’ in the lobby provides a unique pre-show experience where performers play for attendees as they make their way to their seats.

“We sort of think of these shows as an apology letter to everybody that attended Warped Tour for 20 years, making everybody stand on blacktop and wait for 11 hours to see their favorite band for 30 minutes,” Mench-Thurlow jested.

The shows are geared to be for all ages where perhaps emo parents can bring their kids, or parents who are orchestra fans can find common ground with their emo-inclined children. The Mench-Thurlows’ production also aims to expose kids to music and instruments they may not otherwise encounter.

“While arts in schools are consistently at risk, we hope that our fans are bringing their families to inspire that next generation of [artists]” Mench-Thurlow said. “We hope that kids see violin, upright bass, cello, flute or clarinet players and see that no matter what instrument they play, they can be in a rock band, a hip-hop group or a country band. I hope they see that the instrument they decide to play is not defined by a genre.”
