Here’s how you can relive your Warped Tour days in ‘Animal Crossing’

Since its launch last month, Nintendo‘s Animal Crossing has been the main source of entertainment for many of those quarantining during the COVID-19 pandemic. With some extra time on their hands, players have started to get creative in the virtual universe.

From learning how to play Fall Out Boy‘s “Sugar, We’re Goin Down,” My Chemical Romance‘s “Welcome To The Black Parade” and many more, music fans are finding new ways to incorporate their real-life interests into the game. So much so that players are starting to create a new Animal Crossing: New Horizons trend that is taking us back to the nostalgic days of Warped Tour.

Animal Crossing players are taking to Reddit and Twitter to share their latest Warped Tour creations. From fully equipped merch tents and stages, fans are keeping the Warped Tour dream alive in the virtual game.

Twitter user Deirdre (@BEATSBYDEIRDRE) shared their virtual Warped Tour set up earlier last week. Designing merch tents for State Champs, the Maine, Trophy Eyes, Between You & Me, Doll Skin and more, Deidre explained that the decision to design their own Warped Tour on Animal Crossing came from missing the tour which had its final cross-country run in 2018.

“Perhaps I miss warped tour so I decided to make my own,” Deidre shares.

“BYAM @ WARPED. What a sight that is,” the band share.

Grayscale also got in on the fun after seeing the post on Twitter.
