AP 349 offers the ultimate guide to Vans Warped Tour!
The 22nd year of punk rock’s most enduring tour is about to kick off, and we’ve got the essential guide for any Vans Warped Tour warrior. This year, we’re looking backward and forward: We caught up with the frontmen of Attila, Creeper, Dance Gavin Dance, I Prevail, Knocked Loose, Movements and Too Close To Touch to find out their plans for superior rock domination this summer.
Plus, bands who have been a part of Vans Warped Tour’s history share their stories of that one time at punk-rock summer camp. From horses defecating in the pit (no, really) to setting actual world records, these are VWT’s best insider stories. Members of Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, Underoath, All Time Low and Good Charlotte, among many others, share their stories! Spoiler alert: A lot of people were eager to reminisce on Katy Perry’s involvement in 2008. And, we brought back our special Vans Warped Tour coloring pages. Bundles include exclusive merch item from each band, a hand-signed poster from each cover star and both covers. You can pick up the new issue at altpress.com/newissue.
