Why Are Warped Festival's RDGLDGRN Red, Gold And Green?

Each adopting the name of the colour they wear constantly, RDGLDGRN makes for a striking looking trio on stage and off. Half ode to one of their heroes Bob Marley and half sesame street sketch. Frontman Green says the decision to each turn themselves into a colour has a lot less hidden meaning than most people think.

“I think it's been like eight-ten years of wearing the same colour every day. It's just what you know you like, and what you know you are. You ask a child at five years old what his favourite colour is and he won't hesitate. There is no metaphor or cool meaning to why exactly the colour is picked other than the fact that you know what the colour is.

"The focus is I knew what I liked, it's embedded in you. That's the idea we're going with, instead of like, green is the colour of earth or things people say like, 'When someone wears green it makes other people horny'. When you're a colour you hear so many things about your colour. But those other things don't define what your colour is.

"I actually define what the colour is but I'm the only person that is Green, the only living, breathing person that is Green.”
