All good things must come to an end, so they say. Maybe the folks who coined the phrase are right. Heck, the Vans Warped Tour is making its final cross-country round, and, make no mistake, we are sad to see it go. However, not without a final towering hurrah. So, with that bittersweet sense in your head, get ready. The Vans Warped Tour is right around the corner.
Yes, the 2017 version of the Vans Warped Tour is still fresh in our memories. We recall bands like Silverstein, Anti-Flag, Memphis May Fire, Beartooth, Neck Deep, and GWAR blow our collective fucking minds, but how are the event organizers going to outdo themselves? Especially, with so much on the line. After all, this is the finale.
Alas, This year’s line-up packs a serious punch, Kick-ass bands of the past and present have joined forces to create a rock oasis that any devoted fan must bear witness to. Among those contributing to the festivities are juggernauts like Sum 41, Frank Turner, Falling In Reverse, Black Veil Brides, August Burns Red, Motionless in White, Taking Back Sunday, and Every Time I Die.
