Gates opened at 11 am and I can tell you by 11:03 I was sweating bullets. One of the key points of having a successful Warped Tour is staying hydrated. I don’t know how many people I’ve seen in my life refuse to move from the front of a crowd and lose their spot to get water, it isn’t worth it guys, let me stress that, it isn’t worth it. Warped Tour does a great job at helping cut the cost of expensive waters and sports drinks the best they can. For starters, you can bring in one unopened water bottle, and then they have the Cool Gear water hydration spots. These spots have multiple bar hoses that are constantly filling up the empty bottles of festival goers – for free! (Tips are appreciated!) The spot was tucked into the back area of our show, but it is worth the trek back and forth, that water can be the biggest determiner of if you’re going to make it through the day.
