1. State Champs (Playing 6/24-8/13)
The most high-energy, adrenaline inducing band I’ve ever seen perform live. These New York natives always keep the crowd jumping and singing from beginning to end.
2. With Confidence (Playing 6/24-8/13)
This Australian foursome is about to take over the music scene with the release of their debut album “Better Weather” on June 17th. Support them on their first ever US tour by checking out their set at your Warped date!
3. Set It Off (Playing 6/24-8/13)
The first time I saw this band live, I had never listened to them before. By the time their set was over, they had gained a new fan. Yep, they're that good.
4. Roam (Playing 6/24-8/13)
UK pop-punker's that have gone through some rough times this year while touring, but never fail to get on stage with smiles and energy every single night.
5. Reel Big Fish (Playing 6/24-8/13)
Ska band that is fun to check out for some trumpet solos and energetic circle pits.
6. The Summer Set (7/30-8/13)
Only playing the last 11 dates, the Arizona pop-rock band is always a pleasure to see light up the stage with their upbeat music that just makes you want to dance.
7. Knuckle Puck (Playing 6/24-8/13)
Pop-punk music that will make you leave wanting more. Never a dull moment with these guys on stage.
8. The Maine (Playing 6/24-8/13)
With a musical sound evolving with every album they put out, it only makes sense that their live performance evolves and gets better with every show they play. You're definitely in for a treat watching these guys perform.
9. Against The Current (Playing 6/24-8/13)
A female fronted band with some seriously edgy tunes. Who doesn’t love girl power with a sick guitar riff?
10. Tonight Alive (Playing 6/24-8/13)
Another band filled with female vocals and tons of energy. Expect to leave their set sweaty and smiling from songs off of their new album "Limitless."
No matter who you decide to jam out to at this years Vans Warped Tour, remember to wear sunscreen, drink water, and check out a band you've never heard of before! You just might find your new favorite band.
