Lessons from a Warped Tour Warrior

Posted: July 17, 2015 | the scene | 0 Comments

Can you believe Warped Tour Toronto is on Friday? That’s so soon! Here at Uprise we are super excited to be attending this year. Some of our team are Warped Tour Veterans and we wanted to pass on a few lessons learned as Warped Tour Warriors!

• Stay hydrated. Drink lots and lots of water. We know Monster Energy Drinks will be tempting but remember that they actually dehydrate you! Cool down at a rest station if you are feeling ill.
• Prepare for the weather. Do you have a plan if it rains? Some of us at Uprise remember the great Warped Storm of 2012. Stages had to shut down and it can be quite scary. Making plans with your friends ahead of time is a good idea.
• Bring and wear sunscreen! Even if it’s cloudy the UV can be very high and you can still fry.
• Dress comfortably; don’t fuss over making too many fashion statements we won’t judge! If you want to rock with your hair up it’s probably a good plan!
• Look at the lineups before you leave. Talk with your peeps about your game plan and where you will be to make the most of your day!
• Arrive early to the great lineup. The worst feeling in the world is hearing your fave band playing while you’re stuck in line! Trust me it happens.
• Visit the Uprise tent! Swing by, say “Hi” and pick up some cool swag!

Got any other advice for us? Comment on Warriors.

See you Friday!
