Just give the tour to Dave Grohl. He has enough bands to fill the tour.

Shut up. The original bands don't go on the tour as much anymore because the tour started years ago. Do you realize how much the music industry has changed since those days? It isn't the warped tour that is dead, it's punk that is dead. You're confused. Warped tour caters to bands that people enjoy hearing, and smaller bands that want to be seen by loads of people who normally wouldn't see live because they've never heard of them.

The line up this year is better than last year, except maybe the huge bands on the tour. This year's headlining set is kind of weak, but there's loads of great options. An example is a band called In Fear & Faith. They just dropped their second record, and they are shredding at warped right now.

That is so true. I think Kevin Lyman said in an interview a while ago that the reason there aren't any "punk" bands on the tour is because the bands that were on when the tour started is kind of old now and there hasn't really come up any new punk bands in the last 5 years.

Reading also takes on the most mainstream acts at the time. And you can't excepect to like all 90 bands on the tour. If were to see four of my favourite bands for whatever it costs in one day i'd be happy.

There are album reviews that agree with my opinion on IFAF. They are a great band.

The closest thing to "punk" that has happened in a while is Set Your Goals and Four Year Strong...
Warped isn't a punk tour. The reason it started out as a seemingly punk tour was because there were countless punk bands back then. The tour is just a tour for both big and small bands that want to play festival style atmospheres. Notice why the tour accepts artists like Mike Posner and The Millionaires. It's because the tour caters to everyone. It isn't just a punk tour. People need to start realizing that.
