Man Overboard is currently out on the Pop Punk’s Not Dead Tour with New Found Glory, Set Your Goals, The Wonder Years, and This Time Next Year. Wayne Wildrick from the band was kind enough to write up a Road Blog update for PropertyOfZack to keep fans updated on the tour. Check it out below!

From Wayne Wildrick:

So its been 1 full week of what feels like a month of the best tour we have ever been a part of. We started the tour by driving from New Jersey to Santa Cruz. We played 2 shows on the way out, one in Indianapolis and another in Lincoln. Our boy Denny and Niks brother Vinnie came out for the drive. Our friends back home are a huge part of our bands foudation so it was awesome to have them come out and ride with us across the country. We hit the Golden Gate bridge when we got to California and then stayed with our dude Jake in Berkely. The California shows were great, always a good time on the Left coast and got to see a ton of friends.

The next spot we hit was Arizona. Tempe had some crazy street festival going on and tons of kids were out. When we hit Texas thats when things started popping off. After the 24 hour journey to Dallas we played for the craziest crowd so far. No barricade and the stage dives were on point. Austin was just as good, and houston brought their A game as well. We had a day off in Mobile so we hit the movies with some of the New Found dudes then had a family dinner at some cajun joint with TTNY and NFG. We rolled into Atlanta and the masquerade was PACKED. Such a great time and all the bands had a great reaction.  We did an over night drive to Orlando and rolled into HOB in Disney. This show was insane, I feel like all the bands played their best set at this show. Everyone was hanging and the vibes were good. The next day was Ft. Lauderdale and it was New Founds hometown show. It was also the hottest day of the year but that didnt slow anything down. Great times and a lot of friends in the house. St. Petersburg was sort of an out door show and some of the nicest staff Ive come across. James also traded a few DPP tees to the pizza lady for a few free pies and that ruled. The last of the Florida shows was actually an off day in Jacksonville. Us SYG TWY and TTNY played a show at the pit and it was a great time. No barricade and way laid back. Awesome time and an awesome crowd. Were rolling into Charleston as im writing this and am excited to play these last few southern shows and roll into the northeast. We have all been having a ton of fun and the crowds have been amazing. Hope to see everyone on the 2nd quarter of the tour!
