2016 Vans Warped Tour
The line-up for the 21st annual Vans Warped Tour has been announced. The tour features both well established and up-and-coming punk rock bands.
The Vans Warped Tour shows are different from you usual concert experience. It’s more like a traveling music festival, with multiple stages of music. The shows last most of the day, usually starting at 11:00 a.m. and wrapping up at 9:00 p.m.
An interesting aspect of this tour is that minors under the age of 18 can bring one parent to the show for free. There’s a special “reverse day care” center where parents can hang out while their kids are at the show.
Bands for the 2016 tour include New Found Glory, Sum 41, Good Charlotte, Tonight Alive, Less Than Jake, Wage War, Real Friends, Dash Ten, We The Kings, Yellowcard, Sleeping With Sirens, Falling in Reverse, Four Year Strong, Reel Big Fish, Pepper, Atreyu, Every Time I Die, Motionless in White, State Champs, Set It Off, Like Pacific, In Hearts Wake, Capsize, From Ashes to New, Chelsea Grin, Mayday Parade, Issues, the Maine, the Story So Far, and Crown the Empire. The selection of bands playing on the tour will vary by date.
