Warped Tour unveils full lineup, new venue details

March 25, 2008 04:03 AM
Angels and Airwaves , Against Me! and Paramore lead the full roster of acts for this year's edition of the punk-themed Vans Warped Tour.

Along with unveiling the complete lineup for the first time, promoters of the traveling festival have filled in most of the remaining gaps on the tour's itinerary. The 46-date outing kicks off June 20 in Pomona, CA, and runs through late August.

The full schedule, along with the complete lineup, is included below.

The festival, now in its 14th year, boasts an impressively large roster. Along with the above names, other acts slated to appear for at least part of the tour include Every Time I Die, The Academy Is..., Say Anything, Rise Against, Relient K, Pennywise, As I Lay Dying, Cobra Starship, and Jack's Mannequin, among many others. The event's website includes details on which bands are booked for specific dates.

Last year's edition of what organizers claim is America's longest-running touring festival, featuring more than 12 stages, hit 50 cities around the country with a lineup that included Coheed and Cambria, Sum 41, Hawthorne Heights and more than 100 other acts.

Event promoter and Lollapalooza veteran Kevin Lyman, who had previously worked on several earlier shows that combined skateboarding and music, created the tour in 1994.
