Recently, the 2016 line up for The Vans Warped Tour was released. The punk rock festival is gearing up for its 22nd season, where it will tour across the United States. Vans Warped Tour is an all-day outdoor concert festival where bands can showcase their new music and gain more fans. While the Warped Tour is a place for new bands to bloom, it also showcases some big names; each band gets a set time of 30 minutes so audience members can get their fill of as much music as possible. Bands also have signings and will meet their fans, and fans can take advantage of all the free giveaways and merchandise.
This year the tour will have a grand total of 82 bands playing and some say it is one of the best line ups in a long time for the famed festival. The music genres range from, Pop, to Punk Pop, to Punk Rock, to Rock, to Heavy Metal, and to Screamo; so the warped tour offers a little something for everyone. Notable names this year include: Bullet for my Valentine, Crown the Empire, Falling in Reverse, Good Charlotte, Knuckle Puck, Mayday Parade, Motionless in White, New Found Glory, Set it Off, Sleeping with Sirens, Sum 41, The Maine, We the Kings, and Yellowcard.
