Vans Warped Tour Tickets in Phoenix
Warped Tour is rolling around again. This tour has been a favorite for punk rockers since it first started in the 90’s. There are some of the big names this year. Here is some info from its wiki:
Warped Tour is a touring music and extreme sports festival. The tour is held in venues (generally parking lots or fields upon which the stages and other structures are erected) with capacities which range from 10,000 to 30,000. The skateboarding shoe manufacturer Vans has sponsored the tour every year since 1995 and it is often referred to as the Vans Warped Tour.
In recent years, the Warped Tour has featured as many as 100 bands per show. The bands play for up to 30 minutes over approximately 10 different stages, although the biggest bands generally play the two “Main” stages. A typical day would have bands starting at 11:00am and end at 9:00 p.m. with several bands playing at once. The individual band times and stages where each band play is marked on a large board usually centered in the middle of the venue. The full area is set up to prevent music from one stage disrupting other active stages. One band, by fan vote, is allowed to play ten extra minutes at each show. Every year there is a “BBQ Band,” which, in exchange for the privilege of playing on the tour, must prepare food for the bands and crew for the barbeque which is held most evenings.[1] The tour started as a skate punk, and third wave ska tour, but in recent years has featured mostly post-hardcore, pop punk, and metalcore acts.
