The final Warped Tour lineup for 2018 has just been announced. This is the last year that Warped Tour is ever going to be happening so I expect this to be one of the best years yet. This year is being marked as, “the final, full cross-country run.” That’s so depressing.
The lineup does not have My Chemical Romance, which is probably upsetting to the fans because My Chemical Romance really was a huge band that made their festival noteworthy. Warped Tour has gotten sick over the years of their fans requesting for old bands that have broken up to be on the line up because it is just not possible.
Warped Tour had a slight mental breakdown the other day because of this reason:
how? We’ve had to watch for YEARS of fans saying we suck, we can’t book a lineup, we’re idiots. We stayed silent let people trash us but squashing rumors about bands no playing the tour is unprofessional?

So to stop everyone bitching at them for having “horrible lineups” they decided to put an end to the tour. I think it is the right time to end it while it still has a good amount of hype.
And the lineup is pretty good this year.
The headliners are:
Sum 41, Taking Back Sunday, the Used, Simple Plan, Silverstein, Underoath &All Time Low

I am really excited to see the old yet still big bands playing like Sum 41, Taking Back Sunday and The Used. They are definitionally going to be the highlight of a lot of people’s nights. The rest of the lineup is scattered with other respectable bands that have been big in the scene for quite some time now. I am happy to say that I knew almost every band on the lineup. I am going to buy the ticket right away, and I might go to more than one show just to relive the happiness of being an emo girl in the midst of Warped Tour.
So long and goodnight Warped Tour
