I’m Too Old For WARPED TOUR But Decided To Relive My Youth - Getting Wild With Pennywise / 30 Years
Warped Tour 2025 Orlando
Transcript
0:02
Welcome everyone. Adam the Woo here. As
0:02
the recording of this Saturday, November
0:04
15, 2025, I
0:07
am going to Warp Tour for the first time
0:10
since the late 90s. I went to the very
0:12
first Warp Tour in Orlando and then two
0:14
days later in Tampa in 1995 when it
0:17
first started, I went to the second Warp
0:19
Tour and I think I went to one around 98
0:22
99. But I don't believe since the turn
0:25
of the century I have been to one. And
0:28
today this old guy is going to a warp
0:32
tour. Warp tour is back. 30th
0:34
anniversary of warp tour. What the heck?
0:37
Where's the time go? I'll see how I do.
0:40
We'll see how I do in there. Join me.
0:43
Shall you? And honestly, I made this
0:44
decision about 15 minutes ago. I had a
0:46
few other things I was possibly going to
0:48
do later on this afternoon and tonight.
0:50
And I checked the lineup. Warp Tour is
0:53
two days. It's today and tomorrow. Today
0:54
is the only day I'm going to go. And
0:56
they just released the lineup and
0:58
there's a band I want to see. A couple
1:00
bands I want to see, but one's playing
1:02
at 6:00. It's 3:08 right now. 79
1:05
degrees, a little later. It's got to get
1:07
into the mid60s, so that's going to be
1:09
nice. So, it's a two-day warp tour. Back
1:11
in the day, it was just one day. It's a
1:13
two-day whole weekend thing, but today's
1:15
the only day I'm going. They never
1:16
released the lineup of what bands are
1:18
playing at one time till the day of, but
1:20
I saw this online and Pennywise, which
1:23
I've been following since the Unknown
1:26
Road and self-titled days way back in
1:30
the day. Saw them 30 plus years ago.
1:33
Gosh, more than 30 years ago now. First
1:35
time they're playing at 622 according to
1:38
this. I thought, you know, I can get
1:39
down there in time. And there's a lot of
1:41
other bands as well. While the other
1:43
band I would have liked to see, but I
1:44
don't think I'm going to make it in
1:45
time. I think they're playing really
1:47
early is Good Riddance. Really like Good
1:49
Riddance as well. So, I'll be there
1:51
pretty much for Pennywise and to just
1:52
document the experience of what a
1:56
51-year-old man will do at Warp Tour in
2:00
2025.
2:02
All right, made the half hour or so
2:04
commute, 45minute commute. There's a
2:05
little bit of traffic on I4 and then
2:07
other areas. Approaching Camping World
2:10
Stadium, which is where this event is
2:12
taking place. Big football field up
2:15
here.
2:17
I gota got to pay to park somewhere.
2:19
First step, accomplish parking, $40 to
2:22
park a couple blocks, three blocks, four
2:24
blocks
2:26
from the stadium. It's really busy out
2:29
here. I didn't think I was going to
2:30
actually go today. In fact, last night
2:31
at Bowling for Soup at Epcot, a couple
2:33
people said, "Oh, you're going to Warp
2:34
Tour tomorrow." I was like, "Now I'm not
2:36
not built anymore for all day
2:38
festivals." But I think because it's
2:41
happening in November and it's not too
2:42
incredibly hot and I'm getting here
2:45
later in the day. I think it started at
2:46
noon. I'm getting here like halfway
2:48
through the day. I think I'll be all
2:50
right. I think I'll be all right. The
2:51
sun will be setting in like 2 hours.
2:53
Maybe less than 2 hours to be honest.
2:56
Yeah, it's 4:00. So, the sun will be
2:58
setting in less than 2 hours. Not sure
3:00
what their bag policy is, but I'm
3:02
bringing this cross body bag I just
3:03
purchased. A week from today, give or
3:05
take a day, I'm going to be hitting a
3:08
plane flight to another international
3:10
destination. And, you know, I want to
3:13
get something that's a little more
3:14
secure for my wallet and extra batteries
3:17
and things. So, I'm going into the cross
3:20
body bag thing, but I'm not sure what
3:21
their policy is on bags. So, I might
3:24
have to walk back to the car, but taking
3:25
it in giving it a try. The ticket I
3:27
purchased just a few hours ago, it was
3:29
through a ticket link on the Warp Tour
3:31
30th anniversary website. And it said
3:33
that they would mail they would mail not
3:36
the ticket, but mail the wristband, the
3:37
2-day wristband. Obviously, mail's not
3:40
going to get there in time for me to get
3:41
here 2 hours before purchasing tickets.
3:43
So, I'm going to go to go to the ticket
3:45
booth and see if they have it there.
3:47
That would make more sense, right? The
3:48
2-day ticket, I think, was like 150 or
3:51
130. Prices have exponentially gone up
3:54
since 95, but that's to be expected. All
3:57
right, box office. That's the word I was
3:59
looking for. Box office.
4:02
Should be okay. This guy's got a
4:04
backpack. I should be good with my
4:06
little cross body bag.
4:14
And I can't tell if the stages are all
4:14
set up inside the stadium on the
4:16
outskirts of the stadium. Now, the first
4:18
tour back in '95, two stages. Two. Then
4:21
I think two years later in '97 there
4:23
were three stages. There was like a side
4:24
stage. Now there's like 10 stages.
4:28
But the original 95 at the Edge concert
4:30
field, well inside and outside of the
4:33
Edge, it's over on Livingston Orlando.
4:36
Only two stages. Like 15 bands. Less
4:39
than 15 bands total. 12 bands total.
4:42
Yeah. This is looking like eight stages.
4:45
There's now eight stages. started at 10
4:48
ended at 11:00 a.m. goes till like 10
4:50
p.m.
4:53
It's grown. Parking area I chose is on
4:56
the opposite side of the stadium where
4:57
the main entrance is. I think when it's
4:59
all said and done, I'm probably walking
5:01
3/4 of a mile to a mile to get around to
5:04
the front. I chose the wrong parking
5:06
lot. I thought about Ubering. Thought,
5:08
okay, it'd be all right to park, but
5:10
probably works out the same price-wise
5:11
paying the 40 to park where it was be
5:12
Uber here back. Maybe a little less to
5:15
park. All right. I think this is for
5:16
drinking, not
5:20
for admission.
5:23
Maybe.
5:27
>> Since I'm not drinking, I don't guess it
5:27
makes any difference
5:30
except for something to get hydrated.
5:32
Gatorade, waters, soda pop, etc.
5:43
Ah, okay. Here's the main entrance.
5:43
Obviously, not a lot of people are out
5:45
front because this event started 4 or 5
5:48
hours ago. Ticket help. That's what I
5:50
need. Ticket help.
5:53
I don't have a QR code or anything like
5:55
that. I just have the confirmation
5:56
number. All right, I'm good. I just
5:58
trade this in at the front entrance for
6:00
a wristband. My two-day ticket. Again,
6:02
I'm only going one day.
6:04
>> All right, no issue with the bag.
6:06
>> No issue with my camera. I'm in.
6:10
I'm in.
6:12
>> [music]
6:16
>> stages
6:16
everywhere. High heel wearing.
6:18
>> All right, whoever this is sounds like
6:20
old school Kesha.
6:22
>> Not Kesha though, but reminds me of it.
6:31
>> We're in Florida for God's sakes. I know
6:31
you [music] can dance. Come on. This is
6:33
the TWINKLE BAND. SHAKE THOSE ASSES.
6:38
Like some of the bands at their merch
6:39
booth are having little meetups and
6:41
photo ops. That's what's happening over
6:43
here. All right. I think that might be
6:44
Scene Queen, which means at the Geico
6:47
stage next might be Good Riddens. I may
6:49
have got here in time to see Good
6:51
Riddens. Oh, heck yeah. This might be
6:52
Good Riddens right here. Coming up next.
6:56
>> Perfect.
6:57
>> That'd be awesome if we get to see Good
6:58
Riddens and Pennywise.
7:02
>> I want to say probably the main stages
7:04
over there. the main two stages of the
7:07
eight stages. Plenty of portaotties out
7:09
here. That is a VIP entrance right there
7:13
for for very important pumps. Plenty of
7:16
recycling going on out here. Lots of
7:18
recycle cans.
7:21
Right. There's the lineup board over
7:23
there.
7:25
There's a guy on stilts.
7:34
I definitely going to need a law and
7:34
just green tea. lap. All right, there's
7:36
the two. Pennywise over there at 8:22
7:40
and then Good Riddens at 4:30 right
7:42
there. Good start.
7:45
>> These are all the These are all the
7:46
bands. Lot of bands. Guar's playing at
7:49
9:50. Love some great stage show. Great
7:52
stage show. Amberllin's good. Hawthorne
7:54
Heights.
7:54
>> Yeah,
7:55
>> MGK. I didn't realize Machine Gun Kelly
7:57
will be here. Not too interested in
7:59
that. Story of the year already play.
8:00
Pretty good. lot not really a lot of
8:03
what I would classify as straight up
8:04
type of punk bands. A lot of more like
8:08
indie emo metal core, but there's some
8:11
there's some good punk bands in here
8:12
too, though. Yeah, that's where Penny
8:14
Wise is going to be playing. That circle
8:16
is going to be one for the ages. I might
8:19
break an ankle.
8:34
Nothing says punk rock like pink
8:34
lemonade. $19 pink lemonade and no crowd
8:38
surfing or moshing or slam dancing.
8:41
>> It's going to be interesting to see.
8:42
>> Made me very popular.
8:44
>> I see how that rule stands up.
8:45
>> Very un
8:46
>> All right. That group was called Steam
8:48
Queen and it wasn't super
8:52
good.
8:54
All good. [music]
8:56
Old school record.
9:26
>> I got an angel on my back. I'm one of
9:29
the righteous
9:32
and I'm never going [music] back. No,
9:35
no, no. I'm never going back. [music]
9:52
>> That brought back some serious memories
9:54
of 21-year-old me. Take a look at the
9:56
Liquid Death Country Club over here. You
9:58
got to sell your soul to join.
10:02
All right, that answers my question.
10:04
It's located outside of Camping World
10:06
Stadium. It's like all the merch is over
10:09
here. All the merch is in there. Oh, no.
10:11
Actually, it's just the festival merch,
10:13
not band merch. Just merch for the 30th
10:15
anniversary award right here. Look at
10:16
this line. Found two. Found two Waldo.
10:19
The line starts there. Festival of
10:21
merch. Very popular for their 30th
10:23
anniversary.
10:26
Oh, instead of going in the line, I can
10:27
just look at it right here on the side.
10:29
I do like the Orlando Magic spoof right
10:31
there. Their Magic Magic jersey spoof 30
10:33
over there. They have free water refill
10:35
stations. That's kind of nice.
10:39
This is crazy how many people are out
10:42
>> Get over here with us. people in front
10:45
of the main stage
10:48
>> here
10:53
this morning.
10:53
>> Oh, and that's not just it. Look at
10:55
this. There's a whole other area
10:59
way back there.
11:03
Wow. Okay.
11:06
This is like overwhelming. It's like
11:07
sensory overload out here. People are
11:09
elbow to elbow beehive of activity, if
11:11
you will. I am so grateful that this is
11:13
in November and I got here after the sun
11:16
was starting to dissipate because in the
11:19
summer getting out at noon in the
11:21
Florida heat would be brutal. There's
11:23
hopeless records. And this is all the
11:24
merchandise over here. All the different
11:26
labels and t-shirt companies, etc. Oh,
11:29
there's Derek from some 41
11:31
right there.
11:39
Got a little bit of a line. I didn't
11:39
realize. Well, some 41 broke up. I don't
11:41
think they're still a band anymore, but
11:43
yeah, I'm pretty sure that's him. Pretty
11:46
pretty sure that's him.
11:48
Over here, there is a bridge leading to
11:50
more stages, more things over on this
11:53
side.
11:56
Yeah, this is very expansive, very all
11:58
around stadium. There's Penny Wise's
12:01
merch, fame on fire, Ashes to new, home
12:05
team, etc., etc.
12:09
Oh, they even have the Vegas Punk Rock
12:10
Museum has a booth out here. I've been
12:12
there a couple times. Got to be honest,
12:14
I'm kind of out of the loop on newer
12:15
bands. Like, I know some, but I don't
12:18
know all of them.
12:26
It's like Jeffree Star has own cosmetics
12:26
brand right here.
12:35
Oh, there's a little meet and greet over
12:35
here also.
12:40
That's Jeffree Star right in there.
12:40
Right.
12:43
>> The red hair, pink hair.
12:50
>> Everybody's out here.
12:50
There's just lines for There's lines for
12:52
stuff everywhere that leads to different
12:54
booths.
12:56
>> Oh, here is We the Kings. I believe
12:59
Charles Trippy used to be or maybe still
13:01
lives in that band. Charles Trippy, one
13:03
of the original early YouTube original
13:07
daily vloggers. I think he's still doing
13:09
it, too. Charles Trippy, CTFX, I think,
13:11
was his channel. You can support your
13:14
local mosh pedus.
13:27
Nobody [\h__\h] see.
13:27
>> I guess I got to get down on one knee.
13:32
No one is too cool.
13:36
>> I don't know what man this is.
13:39
That guy's too
14:02
>> We got the pit patrol in here.
14:14
Pit Patrol.
14:36
Heat.
15:07
Nitro Circus is about to do a
15:07
performance right over here momentarily
15:10
in about
15:27
Are you with me? Why are you against me?
15:27
>> All right, I'm going to start slowly
15:28
making my way over to the main stage.
15:30
Get lined up for Pennywise. I was
15:33
probably seen Penny Wise 15 times in my
15:35
life. Love them. Go over and check their
15:37
merch. Last time I saw Penny Wise at the
15:40
Hollywood Palladium back when I lived in
15:41
LA to play with Unwritten Law and Strung
15:45
Monkey, both San Diego bands,
15:48
but that was probably gosh 7 years ago.
15:51
Not sure what's on that stick. It's a
15:53
candy cane on a big stick she's
15:55
carrying. Soothing sounds of punk rock
15:58
and heavy heavy music and metal. That's
16:00
some mad dust.
16:24
All right. This is awesome. A smart punk
16:24
stage. Just a band just sets up right on
16:26
the ground. This is what I'm talking
16:27
about right here. There you go. Who is
16:30
this? [music] Let's see your horse. This
16:32
lesson, Jake.
16:34
Yeah, [music]
16:42
>> it looks like Penny Wise has their own
16:42
bands now.
16:44
Of course, the classic PW logo owning
16:48
that a few times in my life. First time
16:50
I saw Penny Wise was in 94 with
16:53
Offspring and then I saw him again in
16:54
'95.
16:57
>> And then I heard you for some reason
16:59
>> and many many many many times since.
17:03
I remember even the Zullie album that
17:05
Zullie from Ignite did with Zullie
17:10
actually that album is really really
17:12
good but then Jim Lber Jim Lindberg
17:14
joined the band back again. Now it's
17:16
back to the original lineup. I even s
17:19
got to see them a few times with their
17:20
original bass player Jason Matthew Thurk
17:23
who they now dedicate Brom to. Roheim
17:26
was written originally before Jason
17:29
passed away
17:32
and then they had another bass player
17:34
after him and they now changed the
17:37
lyrics to say Jason Matthew thirst in
17:40
brom. They always end with brom. It's
17:43
like their it's their closer.
17:48
You probably heard it at hockey games if
17:48
you're not familiar with the band. A lot
17:50
of sports sports teams will use brom as
17:52
like a kind of a motivation song.
17:55
All right. All right, I'm heading into
17:56
the thick of it. Into the belly of the
17:58
beast.
18:00
>> In the belly of the circle pit beast.
18:13
is called
18:13
>> waiting in front of Penny Wise.
18:15
[cheering] This band is finishing up.
18:27
Fireworks going off across the top of
18:27
the stadium.
18:38
Grand finale.
18:38
All right.
18:44
All right. This place is about to wake
18:45
up.
18:58
>> [screaming and music]
18:58
>> There's pleasure
19:00
guitar player from
19:10
the winner
19:11
to be California. Are you ready?
19:16
Here
19:25
it goes. Here it goes. All right. Here
19:28
we go. Peaceful [music] day
19:31
off of a mountain.
19:41
The next generation
19:41
[music] looking backward.
19:48
>> How can I go on?
20:00
Now, but somehow still [music]
20:00
will I make it.
20:03
How will I make it?
20:06
Tell me. HOW WILL I MAKE IT?
20:24
>> Are you guys ready to have a good time
20:24
tonight? [cheering]
20:41
>> want a pickle.
21:18
>> over here. Make some goddamn noise for
21:18
this.
21:20
Steve
21:32
got another guy.
21:32
Hey.
21:32
>> Hey. The the Warm Tour is 30 years old.
21:35
Do you guys want the Warm Tour to come
21:37
back next year?
21:40
>> Hell yes.
21:43
>> This next song's going up
21:56
and living every moment like it's their
21:56
last. This song straight ahead. Straight
21:58
ahead.
22:04
Circle. [music]
22:04
>> Jim Lindberg is calling a circle man.
22:06
It's going to get dangerous.
22:08
Go time. It's go time. [music]
22:51
>> [cheering]
22:52
>> Tell the people what a typical day on
22:55
the warm tour 30 years ago in 1995 was
22:58
like
23:01
>> alive 1995 out there. I was alive 21
23:05
years old.
23:23
>> They got a pit crew in the middle. If
23:23
anyone gets injured or needs anything,
23:25
it's like a little section right in the
23:27
middle of the circle pit. That's what
23:28
these flags are for, I think.
23:32
Super heat.
23:45
Sure,
23:53
girl.
23:53
[music] Who else here from our day? Back
23:55
in the day, day.
24:41
That guy's got a record in his hand.
24:41
lot of vinyl on his hand right there in
24:42
the middle. [music]
24:51
>> Nobody knows.
24:51
>> There's a lot of great bands that have
24:53
played this warp tour over the years.
24:55
Does everyone agree with me?
24:59
>> Uh, one of the greatest bands ever that
25:03
played the first Warp Tour was a band

Got a true identity.
25:31
62 whole air pushing boots and the girls
25:34
who ride the scooter [music] to take him
25:36
out of town.
25:46
>> Thanks so much for no effects.
25:46
>> They played like half the song.
25:48
>> Another song.
25:48
>> They play like a third of that song.
25:51
>> I just want to do [laughter] two of
25:52
them. Come on. Don't get mad. Pleasure
25:54
is really mad because I I'm trying to
25:58
songs. But this song is so fitting
26:00
today. It's a great one. This time kill
26:03
all the way. Oh, [music]
26:06
>> off the longest line. EP1.
26:32
I have some bruises in the morning.
26:39
All part of the experience.
27:01
You got to open your eyes.
27:07
generation
27:07
to a new generation. [music]
27:09
You're dying.
27:12
Stop trying.
27:14
STOP TRYING.
27:19
Stop [music] trying.
27:32
>> Here we go. Here we go.
27:47
>> for a long time. There's a gummy bear in
27:47
a falling circular ball right now.
27:51
The sun's about to get up. Standing up.
28:22
>> Clap the pain away. Orlando,
28:22
doesn't it feel good to him? Clap the
28:23
pain away.
28:26
Woo!
28:28
So good.
28:31
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a great
28:33
opportunity to have a mass competition
28:38
of who is more awesome in this entire
28:41
area.
28:54
>> I want to hear all of you scream. 1 2 1
28:54
2 3 go.
29:47
Hey, hey, hey.
30:03
[music] There it is. There it is. There
30:03
it is.
30:11
I'm going in. I'm going in. Woo.
30:16
When you were here, the fun was never
30:16
ending. Laughing man was only beginning.
30:20
>> Matthew for you.
30:33
Everyone
30:41
is yours. You got you till the end.
30:47
There was no hesitation. [music] Heat.
31:22
where [screaming] am I?
31:22
Oh,
31:49
Go.
32:51
>> Oh,
32:53
I need a massage. I'm hurting.
32:57
I'm old and out of shape. That was a
32:59
good time.
33:01
Not staying till the end. Then I thought
33:03
about sticking around till almost 10:00
33:04
to watch Guir. They're always an
33:06
entertaining show. Usually up up near
33:09
the front you get dowsted with, you
33:11
know, fake blood and
33:14
other other fluids.
33:19
Stayed around and watched a little bit
33:20
of yellow card after. Got a little bite
33:22
to eat. Had some had a noodle dish and I
33:24
got a liquid death water. Now I'm
33:27
heading out. And it goes without saying
33:34
I have not been in a circle pit like
33:34
that in a long time. Been a while. I got
33:38
bumped and bruised and bounced around.
33:41
It felt pretty good. Made me relive my
33:43
youth in a while. Looking forward to
33:44
getting home, getting these clothes off,
33:46
getting a nice hot shower, getting some
33:49
clean clothes on. Definitely a lot of
33:51
contact with a lot of sweaty people.
33:54
Man, I felt like it was 1995 all over
33:57
again. I really did. Really kind of got
34:00
a little emotional after their set. I
34:02
was like, man, that really made me go
34:04
back in time 30 years. All right,
34:06
heading out now.
34:09
I don't know if I'll ever go to another
34:10
warp tour, but I went to this one. Happy
34:13
30 years warp tour.
34:16
I had fun. I had fun. And before heading
34:18
home about a mile or two from where I
34:20
just was on the corner of Garland,
34:22
Livingston is the old Edge, which was a
34:25
nightclub here.
34:27
Saw many concerts here. Now it's a
34:29
public parking space. And I guess they
34:31
don't have it open tonight. They have it
34:32
all kind of stansioned off. But right
34:34
here in this parking lot was the first
34:35
Warp Tour 30 years ago. Again, there was
34:39
only two stages, handful of bands. One
34:42
of the bands was a band that I
34:44
eventually joined years later, a band by
34:45
the name of Guttermouth.
34:48
There was a stage out here. No, I stand
34:50
corrected. There was the skate demo was
34:53
outside here. There was some free
34:55
giveaways. Yohoo was giving away some
34:57
chocolate uh whatever that chocolate
34:59
drink that they have. and some other
35:01
sponsors and things were out here. And
35:03
then there was a place called the Edge
35:04
Shed
35:06
right over here. They had a stage in
35:08
there. One of the bands played in there.
35:12
One of the stages was there. And then
35:13
they also had a stage inside that
35:16
building right there, which was the Edge
35:19
Venue. Saw a lot of concerts in there as
35:21
well. But this is where the first Warp
35:23
Tour was, the very first one. I showed
35:25
that poster a little earlier.
35:31
Things have changed since then,
35:31
including myself.
35:37
Gotten older. Warp tour's gotten older.
35:37
I've got definitely gotten older.
35:46
Something just came over me. I figured
35:46
jump in there, mix it up a little bit.
35:48
Standing on the edge of the pit for a
35:50
while and getting really bumped around,
35:51
slammed around, falling over a couple
35:53
times. People pushed into me, people
35:55
crowd surfing, got some kicks to the
35:56
face, things like that. Then bro him
35:59
came in. and I thought I'm going to get
36:00
in there to embro him and kind of relive
36:03
my youth a little bit. So, thank you to
36:04
Penny Wise for making me feel making me
36:07
feel like it was 1995 all over again.
36:09
Fun fact, I saw Penny Wise twice in the
36:12
edge shed, which used to be right there
36:14
where that little slab of concrete and
36:16
the lights are. It was very, very tiny.
36:18
It was the footprint of that slab of
36:20
concrete that almost looks like a tennis
36:21
court. I saw Penny Wise there twice
36:24
between 94 and 96.
36:32
not associated with Warp Tour at that
36:32
time. I think the first time they played
36:33
Warp Tour was 97. They invited Blink to
36:36
come along. Blink2 to come along. I
36:39
could be getting my ears mixed up by a
36:40
year or two, but you get the idea. Well,
36:43
that's going to do it for today. Happy
36:45
30 years, Warp Tour.
36:47
Happy night to me for not breaking an
36:49
ankle,
36:55
puncturing a spleen,
36:55
cracking my neck.
36:57
losing an eye.
37:00
