Don't forget your shades! You can either bring your own or go find a sponsor tent that are giving away sunglasses for free! And for girls, I suggest bringing a tampon or two! I've been asked so many times if I had an tampon at concerts. even if it's not the time of the month for you, you could be a lifesaver for other girls. :)
DONT BRING SPRAY ON SUNSCREEN!!!! Most of the time they wont let you bring in the metal cans. they make you throw it away. Bring the lotion or a plastic spray kind so you dont have to throw yours out!
i did this the day before i saw fall out boy (for the third time, lmao) but low & behold, it started raining! my entire chest was a green/blue, and i had to throw a sweater over my outfit
It's my first time going and I'm 13 years old. I feel like I'm going to be really tiny and awkward because everyone's going to be older ?? Idk what I should think.
I went when I was 14. I was by myself and I honestly felt safe. These two girls seen that I was exhausted from being stuck in a group of older guys, they helped me get out to the outside and they made sure I was okay. I’ve never felt more safe at any other event tbh.
I'm not even going to warped this year. I wish I was, but I'm not. My mom said I can't go to any concerts until I'm 16. I'm just watching everything I can so I can be prepared ahead of time and be able to walk into my first concert and at least try look like I know what I'm doing :) So I guess I'll see you all next year!
I agree with Ci! Eat something before AND while you are there! I didn't eat anything at all but drank so much water and I passed out! Eating something is honestly a must!
One of the things Warped Tour has done this year is they put out a stage sheet about a week ago. It has the names of the stages (Shark Stage, Unicorn Stage, Journey's Right Foot Stage, etc.) then below the names of the stages they have all of the bands playing at each stage that way you can plan in advance. (You can find this on their website or on AltPress) So, hope that helped some of you out! You're welcome! 👍🏻😜
Maloney Bologna well, I guess that depends on where you live, considering I live in Colorado and it's legal and I haven't seen many people with it either they hide it really fucking well of it doesn't happen often.
I'm going to the one in Seattle (born and raised lol) and our weather is unpredictable, no matter what the weather forecast may say so if anyone is going to the Seattle or Portland one I suggest bringing a poncho and a jacket
This will be my third year going to warped in the heat of Dallas Texas. I always forget what I'm supposed to put in my backpack, thanks for this video. But I always bring a bandana so I can soak it in water and tie it in my hair , works great.
Hi, I wanted to say thank you because I'm going to Warped for the first time (in Auburn) and I wasn't sure on some stuff. You were very helpful, hope to see you there.
I've gone to Warped five years now and they are pretty good about allowing a small lunch in to Warped. (MN) One year my group of friends brought in boxes of fruit snacks and big bags of chips. Just be smart. Don't try and sneak a crap ton of food in it you aren't eating it! It's just a waste and it sucks carrying it around if no one wants to eat it.
I've never been to Warped Tour, but I always bring a charging stick, Tylenol/Advil, a sharpie and paper (for autographs incase I meet someone) and money to every show I go to. Me and you have the same mind. Also, the closest Warped is coming to me is Seattle, I really hope I can go! (I'm Canadian)
I'm going to the Cincinnati date! But one tip I came up with on my own is to use the notes on your phone, make a list of the bands you wanna see and the stages the play and the set times if you want, screenshot it and then make it your lockscreen. I can't tell ya how many times I've lost the little paper guide you can buy for like $2 there. this has saved my life before so :)
You can have aerosol sunscreen. I have used it the last two years I've gone. You can only have 1 unopened bottle of water with you (store bought). If you plan on standing in line for a long time bring one or two extra waters. They will NOT allow open containers in. A small bag, back back, purse, whatever is allowed. A purse isn't the best idea. Use a backpack with padded straps. Also, no chains or weapons of any sort. No wallet chains, no pocket knives, NOTHING.
Gates open at 11, so if I get there at 8 would that be a good decision? Or would it be okay to wait later like 9ish, or even earlier? Sorry, I just don't wanna be stuck outside in line still at 11:30 and end up missing one of my favorite bands :P
Every year that I go, I end up arriving around 9:30. If you head to the Feed Our Children Now tent that is outside the venue and you bring the amount that they say to donate (old phones, cans; I can't remember the exact numbers), you'll get a skip the line pass which puts you farther up towards where you will be. At the venue I go to, the blow-up schedule is at the other end of the venue compared to where the doors are. Some venues have it closer to doors than others, so that's dependant. Because of that, I don't get to the schedule until 11:10/11:15.
"they dont allow you to bring in a bunch of food" When i went to W'14, I was waiting for TDWP and this guy next to me pulled out a full freaking meal from Carls Jr out of his backpack. He was even still eating when the set was on.
Are they like totally against bringing in food?? Someone help me out lol?? I was just gonna bring like a ziplock of some fruit bc im vegan and at the ones ive been to before there isn't much to eat .
I'm pretty sure it's only one sealed water bottle. And you can carry a bag. I brought a backpack purse which I thought was really good because you can fit a folder in it and I carried in drawings I did of band members. (:
***** I thought the same thing about the water and I'll try to find a small backpack cause I don't wanna carry a big one around. That's cool about the drawings though.
band aids are a good thing to being cause i didnt think aboit it and i was in line once there and this girl came back from a mosh pit..and her leg was bleeding from it and i was like wtf and o asked if she was okay and she said yeah and she open a big ass box of bandaids
I'm going for the first time next week. Kind of nervous! Also: do I really need to bring sunscreen, or would I be fine if I just applied it before going?
ah dont be nervous its so fun! but yes 100% bring sunscreen. you will sweat it off. honestly after each set i would put it on because even if you arent exactly in the center of the crowd, there are people all around you and obviously the sun so you will sweat or it will rub off
update it was one of the BEST DAYS OF MY LIFE. I met one of my favorite bands and the drummer said I was pretty ^-^ and I really liked headbanging to the deathcore bands my neck still hurts lol
ariyana bennett The venue White River Amphitheatre is located in Auburn, but people call it "Seattle," because that's the closest major city. Our local Warped Tour is in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, but we call it "Cleveland" for the same reason. :] -Cassie
This isn't an item but PLAN AHEAD. PLEASE!!! Last year was my first warped tour and we already knew how to get to the venue and everything but we STILL got there late. The band I went to see most (Attila) was the first to play and we missed them :'( but seriously plan ahead and give yourself EXTRA TIME, especially if this is your first year going! And personally I have EXTREMELY sensitive ears so I bring ear plugs just in case, to most if not all concerts/shows. I know it's a drag but you never know. Not saying you have to use them, but just have them in case. Also, bring some clear sandwich baggies as well. If it rains you don't want things to get wet and if you're lazy like me you don't want to have to dig your phone out of your bag. And girls.....bring your female things. You never know, once again. I will most likely make a video like this one which will include these things and more if anyone wants to check it out, probably within the next few days :)
Ok, so last year i wasn't ready whatsoever it was my first time at warp tour and I forgot my ticket! Luckily I told the people my situation and they let me in. This time i'm ready, i printed my ticket like many of us do but this time i printed about 6 of them and pinned them to places that i go to i left some even in my mom taken bags its really gonna save me so i don't forget this time :P
+Lyly Jennings You can bring reusable water bottles just make sure they are empty, and I haven't heard if you can or cannot bring camel backs but it's a maybe. Some venues might like it or some may not.
You are allowed to bring your own lunch. But there could be a dick security guard who throws it away or something. This is my 3rd year going. Kevin Lyman (the owner of Warped tour) even encourages people to bring their own lunch. Btw at my date (Toronto) there is pizza pizza and 1 or 2 food trucks with hotdogs and burgers and fries
Adri Avalanche It usually depends on the venue, but most stops are based at amphitheaters, which will provide their usual concessions (things like pretzels, nachos and pizza.) It could be a good idea to call your venue ahead of time or to visit their website to see which foods are available. Sometimes local food trucks will come in and set up, as well. So, as suggested, bringing a lunch is a solid/safe idea if you have dietary restrictions. As Caity mentions, be sure you eat a balanced breakfast before you go! Have fun! -Cassie
definitely bring your phone. i wouldnt bring an extra ipod because it could get stolen/broken ect... you could do all of the actions +more with your phone.
If your 9 like me, can you get into the Venues where the bands are playing? Please respond because I've been trying to get my parents to get my tickets for 2016 warped tour. Thank you!~ Storm3dLps
Don't forget your shades! You can either bring your own or go find a sponsor tent that are giving away sunglasses for free! And for girls, I suggest bringing a tampon or two! I've been asked so many times if I had an tampon at concerts. even if it's not the time of the month for you, you could be a lifesaver for other girls. :)
Depends on the music you listen to at warped. I usually hear all the sunglasses under my feet when I'm watching a heavier band
Jennie Vu Pssst, we have sunglasses at the AP tent this summer! ;}
damn girl.. u can bring me some shades. smh
DONT BRING SPRAY ON SUNSCREEN!!!! Most of the time they wont let you bring in the metal cans. they make you throw it away. Bring the lotion or a plastic spray kind so you dont have to throw yours out!
"A ziplock Bay-gie". Haha she says "bag" like my grandma.
DON'T dye your hair the day before warped tour!
+Michaela Troxel why not?
+Priscilla Guzman it will be hot and sweaty and it will make the dye come out of your hair an onto clothes!
+Paige McDaniel and on other people
+Michaela Troxel This is such a helpful tip because most people do this and it worries me.
i did this the day before i saw fall out boy (for the third time, lmao) but low & behold, it started raining! my entire chest was a green/blue, and i had to throw a sweater over my outfit
WHO'S EXCITED FOR THIS YEAR'S WARPED TOUR?! ★
ME AF
SAME!!!!
meeeee
me
+Skelanimals DEFINITELY ME.
It's my first time going and I'm 13 years old. I feel like I'm going to be really tiny and awkward because everyone's going to be older ?? Idk what I should think.
Mørgan W. I went when I was 12 and honestly, I felt so at home. Everyone was so cool and I just loved every second of it.
I went when I was 14. I was by myself and I honestly felt safe. These two girls seen that I was exhausted from being stuck in a group of older guys, they helped me get out to the outside and they made sure I was okay. I’ve never felt more safe at any other event tbh.
When I go to warped, I carry one of those water bottles with a filter. I don't trust those refill stations.
I'm not even going to warped this year. I wish I was, but I'm not. My mom said I can't go to any concerts until I'm 16.
I'm just watching everything I can so I can be prepared ahead of time and be able to walk into my first concert and at least try look like I know what I'm doing :)
So I guess I'll see you all next year!
the way she says bag (^.^)
I agree with Ci! Eat something before AND while you are there! I didn't eat anything at all but drank so much water and I passed out! Eating something is honestly a must!
bay-ges
lol you want us to bring some water bay-ges? LMAO
I can't figure out where her accent is from..¿
+Anonymous Person if you listened she said shes canadian

@younger people who are worried they will look small there: I saw a ton of kids 13 and younger.
Why did she not mention advice to hiding your weed?
because not a lot of people bro g weed to warped
bring*
holly pp I disagree... Respectfully, of course.
Maloney Bologna well, I guess that depends on where you live, considering I live in Colorado and it's legal and I haven't seen many people with it either they hide it really fucking well of it doesn't happen often.
holly pp Oh I'm in NY... Different story apparently haha
This survival guide is good for anything xD concerts, going for walks, everything!
I'm going to the one in Seattle (born and raised lol) and our weather is unpredictable, no matter what the weather forecast may say so if anyone is going to the Seattle or Portland one I suggest bringing a poncho and a jacket
This will be my third year going to warped in the heat of Dallas Texas. I always forget what I'm supposed to put in my backpack, thanks for this video. But I always bring a bandana so I can soak it in water and tie it in my hair , works great.
it might rain
This guide really helped me the first time I went to warped tour!! Thanks
Hi, I wanted to say thank you because I'm going to Warped for the first time (in Auburn) and I wasn't sure on some stuff. You were very helpful, hope to see you there.
the way she talks reminds me of Shannon Taylor
ikr
I've gone to Warped five years now and they are pretty good about allowing a small lunch in to Warped. (MN) One year my group of friends brought in boxes of fruit snacks and big bags of chips. Just be smart. Don't try and sneak a crap ton of food in it you aren't eating it! It's just a waste and it sucks carrying it around if no one wants to eat it.
I always bring extra bathroom tissue and hand sanitizer to any festival.
she looks like a pretty chill friend
"water and sunscreen" sounds like band camp....
Kimberly Ellsworth Oof just had flashbacks
Its my first time...I took notes xD
love your hair & this was an awesome video! ^.^
I can't wait! I'm a little nervous but really excited, I'm going to the one at Darien lake
Going to Warped Tour today in Portland. First time and excited 😝😜
im gonna see you at the portland date
your forearm tat looks soooo good!
I'm going to the Portland one and this helped me so much!
San Diego CA WARPED TOUR 2016 who else is going ?!!!
+Guadalupe Carrizalez Nick Major is!
meeeeee
ayy nice to see some fairly local people going
me!!?
Just an FYI. Power banks are 5 bucks at five below in a million different colors and on a keychain
"Enjoy fucking Warped Tour"
How does one fuck a music festival?
Your comment is bæ...
You probally can't............
I mean you gotta romance it first. Buy it some flowers. Take it to a nice dinner. Remember foreplay is important.
I laughed way to hard sorry xD
Easy fuck the bands
Hope to see you in Seattle! :D
Who else is going to San Diegoooo???!!
i can NOT wait for next year!
I've never been to Warped Tour, but I always bring a charging stick, Tylenol/Advil, a sharpie and paper (for autographs incase I meet someone) and money to every show I go to. Me and you have the same mind.
Also, the closest Warped is coming to me is Seattle, I really hope I can go! (I'm Canadian)
Having some serious PCD right now :( re-watching these to hopefully brighten my spirit.
I'm going to the Cincinnati date!
But one tip I came up with on my own is to use the notes on your phone, make a list of the bands you wanna see and the stages the play and the set times if you want, screenshot it and then make it your lockscreen.
I can't tell ya how many times I've lost the little paper guide you can buy for like $2 there. this has saved my life before so :)
I'm gonna go to next warped tour in Cincinnati
Super helpful! Thank you!
I will be at the Portland date
I'm so ready I'm going this month!!!
I'm going to the Portland date!!!
She's so pretty! great advice

Las Vegas - August 9th! Let's go! 👊🏻🎧🎤
Bring a poncho in the event of rain or storms (Like Nashville this year), bring food (I made a few sandwiches to bring).
Anyone know how strict they are about bringing food in? (I've got food allergies and usually can't just buy food to eat)
Wait, I'm Canadian, can we bring our Canadian money to warped (in the states) or do we have to switch it out to states money
I'd exchange it. You don't want to chance it if they only accept US currency and be stuck with no merch and, even worse, no food.
Gates open at 11, so if I get there at 8 would that be a good decision? Or would it be okay to wait later like 9ish, or even earlier? Sorry, I just don't wanna be stuck outside in line still at 11:30 and end up missing one of my favorite bands :P

Ashley Lawson idk what I should do it's my first year, do I just pass people when I get the pass or is there a certain line? i'm so confused
Hey It's Lissa the people at the tent will direct you. Last year they had signs before the early entrance gate.
im going !!! and its my first time!!! im excited:)
if your going to warped tour 2018 check the website to see what you can and cant bring, at my venue your are "prohibited" from using areosol sunscreen
"they dont allow you to bring in a bunch of food"
When i went to W'14, I was waiting for TDWP and this guy next to me pulled out a full freaking meal from Carls Jr out of his backpack. He was even still eating when the set was on.
You're not supposed to, but it's really easy to sneak things in.
Do you think a nose ring would be okay to wear or am I just better of with a stud? I don't go into the crowds during shows so I don't know, Thank You!
I wish Good Charlotte was coming to Portland, Oregon
I thought they were going! That sucks, I was really hoping to see them!
+EmslyMarie Harger they are not :/ no sum41 either
I have a battery case... I'd recommend those more then the sticks
I have a question who have gotten Warped Bundles. Do you get your tickets in the mail or do you pick them up at the gate?
Are they like totally against bringing in food?? Someone help me out lol?? I was just gonna bring like a ziplock of some fruit bc im vegan and at the ones ive been to before there isn't much to eat .
This video is great! But I couldn't go to warped tour at last minute 😭😢
Are you going this year again in Washington and Oregon?!?
i've never had an issue bringing in snacks. i guess it varies depending on the venue, though
Can you take the aerosol sunscreen or does it have to be the lotion kind?
Anyone going to Mountain View , Ca?
do they stop warped if its isolated thunderstorms?
You know how there are regular sized water bottles ? Do you think they'll let me bring one of those large water bottles ?
I usually just buy my ticket there tbh. Purposely so I don't forget it or misplace it.
Where can I get a portable phone charger?
I have a question for those who have gotten Warped Bundles; Do you get your tickets in the mail or do you pick them up at the gate?
I thought warped only let you bring 1 closed water bottle and do they let you bring a small bag or for the girls a purse?
I'm pretty sure it's only one sealed water bottle. And you can carry a bag. I brought a backpack purse which I thought was really good because you can fit a folder in it and I carried in drawings I did of band members. (:
***** I thought the same thing about the water and I'll try to find a small backpack cause I don't wanna carry a big one around. That's cool about the drawings though.

Same!

I don't know why I'm watching this... I'm not even going to the Warped Tour any time soon, my parents are too busy
They have Medical tents too
Going to the Portland date :)
I am too!
FunnyMaritza Me too!

When you said you got your portable charger for 15 dollars, I was really surprised, Bedard I got mine for 150 dollars
Can they scan the ticket off your phone?
Warped Tour 2016!
Holmdel July 19 anyone?
Meee
Me😁
I can never find the water stations.
Is it Seattle or auburn Washington? Becaues on the warped tour dates it only says auburn Washington.
ariyana bennett The venue White River Amphitheatre is located in Auburn, but people call it "Seattle," because that's the closest major city. Our local Warped Tour is in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, but we call it "Cleveland" for the same reason. :]
-Cassie
ok thanks :) i was confused by that.
+ariyana bennett are u going to warped this year? :)
Khiley thats the plan :)
whos going to Atlanta warped tour on Thursday???
Where to get portable charger???
do you meet the bands for free?
Anyone going to the 2016 North Carolina warped tour

Meeeee
Meeee!
I might being going to the one in Charlotte
+Bring Zoie the Horizon I am!
I went yesterday it was awesome
I'm going to the one in auburn.
where can you get a geek stick???
This isn't an item but PLAN AHEAD. PLEASE!!! Last year was my first warped tour and we already knew how to get to the venue and everything but we STILL got there late. The band I went to see most (Attila) was the first to play and we missed them :'( but seriously plan ahead and give yourself EXTRA TIME, especially if this is your first year going! And personally I have EXTREMELY sensitive ears so I bring ear plugs just in case, to most if not all concerts/shows. I know it's a drag but you never know. Not saying you have to use them, but just have them in case. Also, bring some clear sandwich baggies as well. If it rains you don't want things to get wet and if you're lazy like me you don't want to have to dig your phone out of your bag. And girls.....bring your female things. You never know, once again. I will most likely make a video like this one which will include these things and more if anyone wants to check it out, probably within the next few days :)

I wish I saw when I went to warped tour for the first time, I was practically a walking, hungry, sweaty, sunburned, corps with no phone battery😧 smh.
Can you bring reusable water bottles like camel backs and such?
+Lyly Jennings You can bring reusable water bottles just make sure they are empty, and I haven't heard if you can or cannot bring camel backs but it's a maybe. Some venues might like it or some may not.
I got a portable charger for 5 bucks at 5 below but I don't know if 5 below is just a store in Illinois
Melissa Manzur They have Five Belows almost everywhere, I believe XD
Oh my goodness I remember when I forgot to put on sunscreen... worst mistake ever.
What food do they have at warped tour? I can only eat certain things so I was wondering would I be allowed to bring lunch and dinner?
You are allowed to bring your own lunch. But there could be a dick security guard who throws it away or something. This is my 3rd year going. Kevin Lyman (the owner of Warped tour) even encourages people to bring their own lunch. Btw at my date (Toronto) there is pizza pizza and 1 or 2 food trucks with hotdogs and burgers and fries
Adri Avalanche It usually depends on the venue, but most stops are based at amphitheaters, which will provide their usual concessions (things like pretzels, nachos and pizza.) It could be a good idea to call your venue ahead of time or to visit their website to see which foods are available. Sometimes local food trucks will come in and set up, as well. So, as suggested, bringing a lunch is a solid/safe idea if you have dietary restrictions. As Caity mentions, be sure you eat a balanced breakfast before you go! Have fun! -Cassie
im so unprepared, I don't have sunscreen or a water bottle or a string bag and it's in 2 days...
Is it risky to bring an iphone/ipod? I really want to film maybe just one song from each band I like. Just for memories.
definitely bring your phone. i wouldnt bring an extra ipod because it could get stolen/broken ect... you could do all of the actions +more with your phone.
If your 9 like me, can you get into the Venues where the bands are playing? Please respond because I've been trying to get my parents to get my tickets for 2016 warped tour. Thank you!~ Storm3dLps
ok thank you! I will be sure to bring my mom and dad.
THANK YOU SO MUCH I CANT WAIT
