Kevin Lyman added [transcribed by The PRP]:
“Wow, I never thought I’d have to deal with a complete shutdown of airports. In my entire life, for 47 years in the music business, and 32 years bringing you the Warped Tour: never happened. So what’s going on is we will have a few bands canceling, and we will be updating you on that. Not as many as we thought, because the bands are working hard to change their flights. Some bands have jumped in vans and driving from as far away as Chicago and Houston.
We’re going to push some bands that we’re playing today, will [now] be playing on Sunday. We’ve extended the sets out and giving bands more time to play. Bear with us. We’re all working hard, just like yourselves. We really appreciate you, and I hope many of you had a great time down on Wall Street last night, and we’re going to bring you a great weekend. Thanks for bearing with us.”
Despite this, the ground stop did result in a number of unique performances. Hoobastank, Simple Plan, The Used, and LØLØ have all gone viral for recent plane sets. Fan-filmed footage is available below:
