2008 Vans Warped Tour – Dates and Venues
The Vans Warped Tour is a traveling music festival. The festival features many stages and many bands performing simultaneously. The venue is set up so that music from one stage does not disrupt music on another. The BMX/Skateboarding shoe company VANS has sponsored the tour since 1995, hence the name. The tour features various genres of music such as punk rock, ska, metalcore, emo and pop punk.

Wow ! There are so many dates and so many bands. That is a lot of traveling and I bet coordinating all of this is a nightmare. Kudos to all the people behind the scenes putting this one together. If this is your musical genre, be sure to get your tickets and support all these bands. They are definitely working hard this summer. We will not be able to attend this one, so if you do attend the festival, please post some comments and let us know how it was.
