How does Warped Tour work?

[Lilian]

So this is going to be my first year going to Warped Tour and I am not sure how it works. How do you know what bands are playing at which stage and when? Because I don't want to miss my favorite bands that are going to be playing, I am also paranoid that they are going to be playing at the same time.
Hey, the meat train empire: the return of meat sticks. So I don't care what you say, all you're doing is hiding behind a key board. I love the music that is going and I am excited that I am going. Almost all of my favorite bands are going, so unless you actually want to answer my question don't answer my question. Stick to what ever pop, indie, country music you listen to and just leave my favorite kind of music alone. Thank you, that's all I ask.
Oh and one more thing... their hits aren't knock off of real artists with artistic integrity, how often do you see their songs in the top 20? Most of these bands aren't known and make better music than what you probably listen to because they are humble and are grateful for every fan they are given. I am sure most artists are, but they truly appreciate their success because they (and their fans) are considered "out casts." Like I said, just leave it alone. Please

The most important thing you need to bring is water! You are allowed to bring one bottle in but not more than one. They have fill up stations and they also sell water but its expensive! So bring a bottle and keep hydrated! You will hopefully be having so much fun that you might forget to stay hydrated! Also bring a small backpack to put your things in! All you really need is money, a water bottle, your ticket, sunglasses, sunscreen, and a phone. Keep your eyes peeled at the venue because the bands are always walking around and it's a great chance to meet them! Don't attack them and be an over excited fan girl because they don't like that! When you get there there will be a schedule posted. Write down the times stages of the bands you want to see so you know when and where to see them play. It's going to be very very hot! Don't try to look all cutesy and dolled up because you will feel horrible and gross all day. Wear something you are comfortable in. I suggest shorts and a band tee or a tank top. For shoes wear vans if you have them. NEVER wear sandals or flip flops because you will get speed on so much if you do. If you want to be in front of the stage for a certain band get there early. When the band before them is playing get there and when the band before needs their set and people start to scramble away you can creep your way up front. There will be mosh pits at certain sets. If you want to mosh go right ahead. If you don't, stay away from the pit and keep you guard up. If you get stuck In a pit and want to get out put you elbows up and push your way out. Don't let anyone push you around in the pit. One big thing to watch out for is crowd surfers. They come out if nowhere and if one hits you behind your head its will hurt and you might get a minor concussion if they hit you hard. After your bands set is over they might do a signing. Go to their merch booth and check for meet and greet times. Warped tour is an overall fun thing and I have never had any bad experiences but I've seen **** happen and if you take my advice you will be fine and have fun!
