The Vans crew have been hanging out at Warped Tour 2012, checking out some killer sets from Anti-Flag, Mike Herrera (MxPx/Tumbledown), Taking Back Sunday, and so SO many more.
The lineup is fantastic, and the new Acoustic Basement is the perfect place to get out of the sun and enjoy some music from all sorts of favorites. You never know who might pop in for a special performance, like Joey Briggs, Tess Dunn, or Chris #2 and Justin Sane from Anti-Flag.

Do you have to be of a certin age to go to the Warped Tour?from Anonymous
Nope! Warped is an all-ages festival, and everyone is welcome. You can even drop your parents off at the Reverse Daycare Tent, if they need a break while you’re watching all of your favorite bands!

We’ve learned to mark the seasons by tours, rather than solstices and equinoxes and all the normal stuff. That being said, summer officially begins with the kick off of the Vans Warped Tour in Salt Lake City tomorrow!
Amanda will be bringing video updates and a ton of fun photos from the road, so be sure to keep an eye on the Vans Girls page. And don’t forget to stop by the Vans booth if your shoes go missing in the crowd, or you need a snazzy new t-shirt once yours becomes a sweaty mess. Get a sneak peek of this year’s merch right here.

Lostprophets, Bring Me The Horizon, New Found Glory, Less Than Jake, Bowling For Soup, A Loss For Words, plus so many more - - and even more to be confirmed. The lineup for the Vans Warped Tour UK has just been announced, and I think it may just be time to start packing my bags again.
On November 10th, the tour is finally returning to the UK with a special show at London’s Alexandra Palace. With four stages, over 20 bands, UK vert skateboarding championships, nonprofits, and vendors, it’s all the fun of the US Vans Warped Tour jam-packed into a long overdue return to the other side of the pond.
Tickets are available now right here.
The countdown is on! The Vans Warped Tour UK has been confirmed for the 10th of November at Alexandra Palace in Northern London. There’s a beautiful view of the city, and we welcome you to get your Warped on with a lineup that’s sure to be a massively good time. Seriously though, I may just have to book myself a plane ticket back to London for this one.
The launch party for the Vans Warped Tour UK is set for Tuesday May 8th in central London at Prince Charles Cinema off Leicester Square. Warped will be taking over this rad little cinema for the night with a special screening of the documentary No Room For Rockstars, followed by an official lineup announcement for the fall.
Rocksound.tv is giving away 10 pairs of tickets to the event, along with 20 Vans goody bags, and you can enter to win right here! Must be 16 or over to enter, and able to get to Prince Charles Cinema by 6pm on May 8th. The No Room For Rockstars screening starts at 6:30pm.
We’re big ol’ suckers for some acoustic sing-a-longs. Special guests Yellowcard stopped by Club Nokia for the Vans Warped Tour Kick-Off Party and treated the crowd to a couple of acoustic tracks. Watch the video here and hit up your local date of Warped Tour to catch the full band this summer.
It’s been ten long years since The Used first hit the main stage at Warped Tour, but they kicked it all the way back to the early 2000s with their surprise appearance at the Warped Tour Kick-Off Party last week. You can catch them back on the road this summer. In the meantime, if you missed the webcast, or you just want to rage through it all again, you can check it out right here.
We hung out with Matt Toka at the Vans Warped Tour Kickoff Party last week where he was performing. You can catch him all summer on the Warped Tour & check out his brand new music video that he told us about above, right here:
