Thursday night brought us the moment many of us have been waiting for: the final lineup announcement of the Vans Warped Tour.
The 24th annual punk rock traveling festival will make its final cross country run later this summer. The tour starts June 21st in Pomona, Calif. and ends August 5th in West Palm Beach, Fla. Darien Lake’s date this year is near the end of this year’s tour, being Thursday, July 25th.
I was expecting some big names to appear since it is the final run of the tour and boy was I right. Bands who haven’t appeared in years will make their return on this year’s tour, including All Time Low, Sum 41, Underoath, Taking Back Sunday, and August Burns Red. But the only downside is that some of these big names will only play for a few dates this summer (for example: Sum 41 is only playing July 17th in Toronto.)
Some fresh new faces will also appear this year. British folk artist Frank Turner, pop-punkers Sleep On It, and Baltimorean hardcore act Sharptooth will appear along with veterans like horrorcore rap duo Twiztid, Texas based pop-punk band Bowling For Soup, and British band As It Is.
The official website says that additional acts will be added later. General tickets will go on sale March 8th.
