Warped Tour
So quite a few bands and performers.
I can’t think of a good tagline so this will have to do. Suggest a better one for me?

THE EXPLOITED
w/ D.I. and TOTAL CHAOS
@ THE NOVO by MICROSOFT
LOS ANGELES
ALL AGES
The concert that caused me to lose my voice.
I am a full time EXPLOITED supporter. My ride and die band w/ the most wonderful member of all, WATTIE! We adore each other.
It was so great to see him perform and catch up after.
I and many more punks got on stage to sing a long to SEX AND VIOLENCE
The atmosphere was one to remember.
Impatiently waiting to see them again but this time in LAS VEGAS.
Dead and Company, wasn't the same as the old days, but it was alright.
— WEDNESDAY 22 MAY 2019—
PITBULL:TIME OF OUR LIVES
@Zappos Theater
(Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino)
Las Vegas
I didn't know he was closing show the week I attended and for this being the first time watching him perform live--I had fun.
The opening act felt like a power point presentation. I prefer some of his grimier tracks but I did recognize I Know You Want Me
The ending of course concluded w/ confetti--oh, and the dancers were very energetic too.
It was a good show, like watching a band you like but not love type of show.
4/10 gold stars
Neil Diamond! I am crazy for him!
PUNK ROCK BOWLING 2019
25-27 MAY 2019
(Plus shows before festival taking place)
@DTLA
Las Vegas, Nevada
3Day VIP pass w/ a few shows too.
100+ bands and I only support 10 bands who were part of the festival.
Can we say Punk Elitist? Yes, I am and I'm only 26yrs young.
(But that's what the elder punks/gate keepers call me shrugs )
I didn't recognize many and to be frank some didn't even fall under the punk umbrella of music.
Watching KILLING JOKE perform was hands down the best performance to start off the week--well, besides THE EXPLOITED
I heard many say that it was the best but I don't think so. Sure, there was a second stage and many others bands whom I didn't know were performing on main stage? Ok. Oh, Rancid was there too not that I enjoy their noise.
The Elder Punks were definitely there for THE VANDALS, THE DICKIES, THE ADICTS, THE DAMNED, DESCENDENTS, and THE SPECIALS
MAD SIN was a no-go as they weren't allowed into the states, again. I forgot which band saved the day but I know they performed after 45 GRAVE
all in all it was a solid 4.5/10 gold stars.
Happy 21st Anniversary too. To the only punk festival I've attended since I was in my single digit yrs and I'll continue to attend as that's where my friends around the globe and I meet up annually.
Plus, it's family tradition/holiday.
Santana and the doobie brothers June 22nd then we have Paul McCartney on Wednessday and the Indigo Girls Friday followed by five days at the Winnipeg folk festival in mid July then we get really busy after that. It's a tough life but we do our best to struggle through it.
