This Warped lineup is probably fake, but it would be AMAZING

         There's been  a 'Warped lineup' that's been circulating the internet today, and a lot of speculation has gone down as to whether or not it's true:

         I'm personally in the 'fake' camp on this one: no way in hell would Hatebreed play Warped. They've got a new album out in January and, to be completely honest, are a wee bit too old to be playing a festival like Warped. Every Time I Die are young'uns compared to Hatebreed, and they're constantly called out as an "old" band by the Warped community.

        Secondly, while I'm sure Warped is a highly lucrative tour, I'm not sure they'd have enough money to book Chiodos, Hatebreed, August Burns Red, AND A Day to Remember. Those are some big, big names that can't be easy booking, and we can't forget this is the tour that charges $50 a ticket and $3 for water bottles.

         Thirdly, there's a bit TOO much variety. Warped generally revolves around a punk baseline - there's a bit of deviation here and there for hiphop or pop artists (Katy Perry played Warped once, before she kissed a girl and got famous), but you're going to see a lot of punk offshoots. While that's still the same here, would Hawthorne Heights, All American Rejects, Kreeayshawn, Lights, or Anamanaguchi play the same tour as La Dispute, Memphis May Fire, or Bring Me the Horizon? Unlikely.
        
        That being said, let's take a look at this lineup: A Day to Remember, August Burns Red, Bring Me the Horizon, Acacia Strain, Upon a Burning Body, Veil of Maya, We Came as Romans!? The mere thought of a tour like that gets my heart racing. That's saying nothing of Glass Cloud, Volumes, Silverstein, Letlive, As I Lay Dying, The Chariot, Hands Like Houses, and Enter Shikari.
