On this week’s episode of idobi Warped Radio, Royal & The Serpent joins Sasha to talk all things firsts—starting with the fact that her Warped Tour performance debut this summer will also mark her first time ever attending the iconic festival. She opens up about her initial hesitation to join the lineup, but ultimately found inspiration in pop legends like Katy Perry, who performed across the tour in 2008. With new music on the way, Royal teases that Warped Tour will be the first place fans get to hear it live—and she hopes they’re ready. She also hints at potential onstage collabs with her boyfriend’s band Beauty School Dropout, who will be joining the Warped lineup as part of the idobi Radio Summer School Tour. From dream lineups (My Chemical Romance + Katy!) to breaking the genre mold, this episode is all about embracing the moment and making history.
