Warped Roadies

In episode 1 we converge upon Salt Lake City, Utah where the massive music festival, the Vans Warped Tour is about to kick off it's first show of the summer.

The roadies set their sights on San Francisco, and today is a special one because if the roadies can make it through the day they know that the 2012 Warped Prom awaits them.

When you wake up in Phoenix, AZ and the morning temperature is already in triple digits you know that it's not going to be an easy day. Mix with that massive delays in the morning set up and you have one of the toughest days these roadies will see all summer.

We are gearing up for the Canadian leg of the tour, and getting 1000+ bands and crew to cross the border is no easy task. Key members of the Set Up Crew find out that they can't go to Canada, thus leaving their team to trudge on without them.

With one Canada show down and one more to go, the crew rolls on to Toronto. The day starts like any other; well, actually unlike any other if you consider how smooth set up went. But the easy going day quickly comes to a halt when a major storm sweeps into Montreal and an emergency scenario starts to unfold quickly.

Reunited and it feels so good...or does it? After Danny and the boys return to the tour after being away from the rest of the crew, the happy reunion turns sour as he finds out there was some trash-talking while he was galavanting in New York City.

An after show party in Colorado goes late into the night, perhaps not the best move when working in the sun for 12 hours the following day. These road warriors work hard together and they play hard together.

We're in Florida and have rounded the corner nearing the final weeks of this crazy adventure. What should be a joyous time is now tainted as a member of the Set Up Crew has missed load in for the day, causing Danny to have to choose between being a friend, and being a boss. Later, the boys must say goodbye to a key member of the crew as he is leaving the tour early.

The tour is coming to an end and the wear and tear of the road is setting in.

It's the last day of punk rock summer camp, and sadly it's time to put a wrap on Warped Tour 2012. Unfortunately for the Warped roadies, the last day is turning out to be the worst and hardest day they will have all summer.
