Every trip we take turns into a bit of a walking disaster, and Warped Tour this year was exactly that in the best possible way.
We landed in Florida, grabbed our rental car, and the first thing we did was stop at a gas station to buy nostalgic gas station snacks we used to eat years ago. With the car full of chips, candy, and way too many sodas, we drove straight to Orlando listening to loud punk-rock playlists and the AC fighting for its life.
As soon as we reached the festival, we headed straight to the massive inflatable board where they show the lineup for the day. If you’ve been to Warped Tour, you know it’s huge and everyone crowds around it to see who plays when. We checked the bands we wanted to watch and then walked to the first stages.
We met up with our videomaker there and got ready to start one of our favorite things to do at festivals: give away socks. No plan, no script, just surprising people and seeing their reactions. People at Warped Tour never disappoint. One girl literally ran up to us asking where she could get the socks, completely out of breath. When we handed her a pair, she just stood there in shock. That moment alone made the whole trip worth it.
We didn’t stop with fans, we gave socks to bands too. Musicians, crew members, merch teams… everyone needs fresh socks when on tour, right?. Some put them on right away, some laughed, and others asked us where they could grab more. It felt good to spread that energy around and connecting with bands like 408, A Day to Remember, Less Than Jake, As It Is and Comeback Kid.
We also visited our friends at Keep A Breast Foundation. We filmed a small video with them for a special collaboration we’re doing together: a solidarity sock to support breast cancer awareness. It’s a project that means a lot to us, which we'll shortly announce on all our social media so you can become a part of the "I <3 boobies" team.
Later, we went around the vendor area which was crowded with vendors and met our friend Vinnie from Borndead Clothing. It had been a long time since we’d seen them, and catching up was amazing, like no time had passed. They’re still one of the realest and coolest brands out there. Go check them out and support what they are doing! 😎
What we realized is that ones lead others follow. We have been connected to the music scene for more than 12 years, building friendships, going to music festivals and we've always been the first sock brand to do that. Others may try to copycat, jump on the wave or recreate the vibe, but everyone will know who was really there from the start
Can't wait for Warped Tour 2026 😎
