Out of all the music festivals this year, which were the coolest? Did you travel to attend any of them?
Maybe the just concluded Van Warped Tour,
now in its 13th year. The festival is regarded as the annual punkrock
summer-camp, and this year's edition took place in 45 days between July to August, touring more than
20 cities from Philadelphia to California.
Bands on the bill this year include Bad Religion, Alkaline
Trio, Big D and The Kids Table, MXPX, Pennywise, The Vandals, Tiger Army, Buck-O-Nine, The
Used, Fishbone, Mustard Plug, Gallows, Killswitch Engage etc.
a typical day of the tour sees almost 50 bands play for up to 30 minutes over approximately 6 different
stages, although the biggest bands generally play the two 'main' stages.
