Trending on Billboard

3Oh!3’s Nathaniel Motte recently told Billboard.com that his group is “stoked” to be a main stage act for Warped’s full summer run this year. “It’s a rough tour as far as weather and stuff like that,” he says, “but it’s so much fun and there’s so much energy, pretty much like summer camp. We’re really excited about it.”

Motte said that during last year’s Vans Warped Tour 3Oh!3 became good friends with road mates Schwayze and Katy Perry, the latter of whom took 3Oh!3 to Europe as her opening act recently.

Last year’s Vans Warped tour grossed $13.2 million and drew more than 482,000 fans to 34 concerts, according to Billboard Boxscore. The trek featured performances by Paramore, Gym Class Heroes, Jack’s Mannequin, Against Me!, Pennywise, Reel Big Fish, Cobra Starship, Every Time I Die, Pennywise, Motion City Soundtrack, Angels and Airwaves, Aggrolites, As I Lay Dying and the Academy Is…, among many others.

June 30th, 2009- I woke up around 9:30. I had slept on an off throughout the night as the Del Taco from the previous night gave me a pretty wicked stomach ache. I started to gather my stuff as it was strewn about the room. I opened the shades and discovered that the day was bright and clear. I grabbed a quick shower and texted everyone that I was heading over to the venue. I cruised up to the lobby and met up with Brooks. We did some grocery shopping and headed over to Cricket Pavilion.

We pulled in and unloaded everything onto the bus. It was Cathy's birthday and she wanted Taco Bell as her birthday lunch. I took everyone's order on the bus and made my way over to the NOFX bus. I said hi to Smelly and Jay and took their orders as well. I grabbed our Taco Bell and headed back to eat.

Around now, things started to get hectic. I gave Brooks a ride to the hotel so that he could hang out. My friend Rob showed up so I was trying to coordinate with him. My phone was also blowing up with people asking me to get them on the list, get them backstage, get them on the bus, etc. I decided to hang on the bus for a while and catch up with my peeps. I milled around outside for a little while, chatting with Rugly and Limo. The day was quickly slipping away and I had more stuff to do.

I made a quick run and got Brooks. I brought him back and went out looking for Jeska and Gabby. After a while, I had to pick up Greg, so I made my way back to the bus lot and made another run. We got back just in time to drop off our stuff and head to the stage with NOFX.

NOFX is a fantastic band and I was happy to see them again. I talked to Melvin for a while about the brutal AZ heat. He, like everyone else, couldn't understand why I was wearing jeans. They took the stage and started tearing through their set. One third of the way through their set, Fat Mike told the audience how it was 107 outside and that they got a four thousand dollar bonus because of it. He explained that they did not want to play in any unbearably hot places and had brokered a deal with Kevin Lyman that they would get paid more if the temperature was over 100. They played a few more songs and then Kevin Lyman took the stage. He explained to the crowd that NOFX is a band of the people and that they wanted the crowd to have their bonus. At that point, members of BR and the NOFX crew took the four thousand dollar cash bonus and began throwing it into the crowd. The played a few more songs and then left the stage. It truly was a sight to see.

There was another band on between BR and NOFX, so I went back to the bus for a while. The Arizona heat is brutal and can really tear you up if you don't keep an eye on it. I chose to not get heat sick and played it safe all night. It was almost time for the BR set. I headed over to the stage and ran into Jeska, Gabby, and their two gorgeous friends. We climbed up on stage and took our spots behind Brooks. BR took the stage in the waning Arizona daylight.

The band was out to have a great time and it showed. They had a forty minute set mixed with a little of the old, a little of the new, and a little of the in between. Even in the heat, the band pushed and put on a highly energetic performance. Let The Eat War was on the list and I was able to do the rap part in it again. After the song was over, Greg thanked me for the performance and plugged WorldofEd.com. It was pretty hilarious. They continued through the set and then bidding the crowd farewell.

I took a quick walk back to the bus and got the food that the runner had delivered. We had cake for Cathy's birthday and spent a while more hanging out. It was very fun and relaxing just talking to the BR and NOFX guys on the bus, reflecting on the day and sharing stories.

A little past nine, I decided to head out. The buses were leaving at ten and I did not want to get stuck behind them all. I came home, unloaded everything onto the computer, unpacked, and then sat here. I was still too hyped from the day, so I met up with Jeska and Gabby for a while, finally calling it a day at 1:30.

The Bands Scheduled to Play the Full Vans Warped Tour

No matter which date you catch, you can catch these bands

• Alternative Music
• Classical Music
• Country Music
• Rap & Hip Hop
• Rhythm & Blues
• World Music
• Heavy Metal
• Latin Music

With so many bands assembled for this year’s Warped Tour, but not all of them scheduled to appear at every date, it gets tough to figure out who’s going to playing on your specific city.

The bands listed below are currently scheduled to appear on the entire 2010 Vans Warped Tour, so this is a good place to start figuring out exactly who to look forward to 

After Midnight Project (Los Angeles, CA) – Fronted by Jason Evigan, the son of actor Greg Evigan, this rock band has performing in its blood. As a result, they are known for their energetic live sets that connect with the crowd. (Official Site)

Alesana (Raleigh, NC) – This screamo band is no newcomer to the Warped Tour, so if you’ve attended before, you know what you’re in for. If you’ve not heard them before, expect metal riffs and vocals roughly harmonized with screaming. Lots of screaming. If screaming is your thing, these guys are on the top of their game. (MySpace Site)

Alkaline Trio (Chicago, IL) – A band known for smart songwriting and a great sound in their early days, before blatant pandering left them a shell of their former awesome selves. Their latest release on Epitaph Records, This Addiction shows a band beginning to reclaim their former glory. (Official Site)

AM Taxi (Chicago, IL) – If the Gaslight Anthem are punk rock's take on Springsteen, then Chicago’s AM Taxi are punk rock's take on Gaslight Anthem. Mixing great songwriting with elements of old-school punk with influences like Clash-fueled reggae, world beat and pure pop, this is a band poised to be one of the most exciting, innovative bands on the tour. (MySpace Site)

Anarbor (Phoenix, AZ) – This pop rock band has attained more success than many realize. Despite a relatively low profile, their music has appeared on multiple TV and movie scores, and is a regular part of ESPN’s Sports Center . They did a few dates on the Warped Tour last year, and a longer runs this year might symbolize that now that the band is successful, they’re pushing to be famous as well. (Official Site)

Andrew W.K. (New York, NY) – A classically trained musician, Andrew W.K. may not have invented the “party hard” punk rock sound but he certainly perfected it. Although recent years have seen him doing TV and producing records, I’m hoping his return to the stage of Warped will be similar to his last time on its mainstage, which was a supersoaker-fueled rager of positive energy. This guy comes to party, and doesn’t leave until everyone is partied out. (Official Site)

Artist Vs Poet – (Dallas, TX) This powerpop band has grabbed the attention of both Fearless Records and the Warped Tour based on their solid songwriting and DIY attitude. The product of the dissolution of a few other bands, Artist Vs Poet wield catchy beats and infectious melodies on their four-song EP, with a full-length due this spring. (MySpace Site)

Attack Attack (Columbus, OH) – One can’t help but be intrigues by this band from Ohio, which will deliver heavy metal riffs and grotesquely screamed vocals at one moment, and electronic danceability the second. Live, I’m thinking it will either be impressive, or impressively hilarious. (MySpace Site)

Automatic Loveletter (Tampa, FL) – Fronted by Juliet Sims (who has lent vocals to songs by Cartel, Secondhand Serenade and All Time Low), this heavily acoustic combo will bring a soothing influence to whatever stage they’re on. (MySpace Site)

Breathe Carolina (Denver, CO) – Another band playing the odd combo of screamo and electronic, these kids from Colorado mix layered dance music with the occasional power scream. The full package is pure electrofun, and upbeat even when the lyrics are about boys with broken hearts. (MySpace Site)

Breathe Electric (Lake County, IL) – This electropop outfit is just Grant Harris in the studio, but expands to a three-piece when he takes it on the road. Drawing influence from pop, electronica, hip hop, and indie rock, Breathe Electric is often compared to bands like Hellogoodbye and PlayRadioPlay. (MySpace Site)

Bring Me The Horizon (Sheffield, England) – This British band fuses death metal and hardcore into a conglomeration that’s been referred to as deathcore. Whatever you want to call it, it’s intense and heavy, grabbing this band accolades and nominations as both the best and worst band in the UK. (MySpace Site)

The Cab (Las Vegas, NV) – Made up of four kids barely out of high school, this powerpop group that boasts an impressive list of associated acts. They’ve toured with bands like Panic! at the Disco, Cobra Starship and Forever the Sickest Kids and recorded with members of Panic! and Fall Out Boy - odds are, you’re in for a slick set from a band poised to blow up. (Official Site)

The Casualties (New York City, NY) – A solid presence on the punk scene for over a decade and an unapologetic adherence to the principles of old school street punk makes the Casualties one of the best – and the punkest – picks for this years Warped Tour. Their set will be fast, loud and memorable. (MySpace Site)

Closure in Moscow (Melbourne, Australia) – A prog/psychedelic group from Down Under, Closure in Moscow has been heavily compared to other posthardcore prog bands like Coheed & Cambria and Saosin. Allusions to forefathers like King Crimson are not off base, either, as they pick up the old sounds and make them their own - without screaming, a plus in my book. (MySpace Site)

Confide (Los Angeles, California) – This Christian post-hardcore band started as a deathcore band in 2004, but multiple lineup changes have left the band with only one original member and a slant that’s decidedly more screamo. If you catch their set, listen for their cover of the Postal’ Service’s "Such Great Heights,” which while much heavier than the original obviously, begs the question of whether it really needed to be done. (MySpace Site)

The Dillinger Escape Plan (Morris Plains, NJ) – A “mathcore” band out of New Jersey, Dillinger Escape Plan combines complex riffs and growled vocals into an aggressive wall of sound. What’s more impressive than their music, though, is their live show. Expect… well expect anything, and be prepared for some furious energy and quite possibly frontman Greg Puciato flying over – or stepping on – your head. (MySpace Site)

Emarosa (Lexington, KY) – With the addition of frontman Jonny Craig (of Dance Gavin Dance) in 2007, this band moved away from screamo and more toward the melodic post-hardcore they’re best known for. Fresh out of the studio for the Warped Tour, expect new material and booming riffs. ( MySpace Site )

Emmure (New Fairfield, CT) – If you want some metal at the Warped Tour this year, you’re not going to find one more metal than these guys. Emmure will be bringing its combination of heavy issues and heavier music, and even if you don’t know what they’re talking about, you’ll fit right in as long as you can bang your head. ( MySpace Site )

Eyes Set To Kill (Phoenix, AZ) – This female-fronted post-hardcore band features the melodic vocals of guitarist Alexia Rodriguez, and her sister Anissa on bass. Whether it’s the female influence or simple musical talent, the band employs harmonies much more hypnotic and complex than a lot of the standard fare. ( MySpace Site )

Face To Face (Victorville, CA) – These skate-punk playing Fat Wreck Chords veterans were a staple in every proper punk’s record collection, and their breakup in 2003 was a sad day indeed. A few years later, 2008 saw the joyful reunion of these heavyhitters, and the entire Warped Tour this year will be privy to a set from a band that has attained legendary status. ( Official Site )

Fake Problems (Naples, Florida) – Mixing mandolin, violin, steel guitar and horns into the standard punk sound, Fake Problems drops more than a little folksiness and country twang into their sound, along with smart songwriting. ( Official Site )

Far From Finished (Boston, MA) - If you’re lamenting the lack of the Street Dogs on this year’s Warped Tour, check out Far From Finished. These guys carry the Boston streetpunk banner just as high and as proudly as their more well known peers. ( Myspace Site )

Fight Fair (San Diego, CA) – Adding to the pop punk roster this year is this group. Their debut full-length is due in 2010, but based on their previous EPs, we’re in for plenty of upbeat pop punk beats in the same vein of bands like Bowling For Soup. ( MySpace Site )

Gardening, Not Architecture (Los Angeles, CA) A collaboration between singer/songwriter Sarah Saturday and producer Beau Sorenson, Gardening, Not Architure is a fuzzy ethereal dreampop band. Originally intended as a studio-only project, the duo put together a live show due to public demand. Fans of old dreampop bands like Cure are really in for a treat when this band brings a sound to the stage that has been woefully neglected in recent years.

Hey Monday (West Palm Beach, FL) – Fresh-faced musicians, female vocals and a wholesome sound make these kids more power pop than pop punk. Could this be the next Paramore? If so, do we need another Paramore? (Official Site)

I Can Make A Mess Like Nobody’s Business (Hammonton, NJ) – The side project of former Early November frontman Ace Enders, I Can Make A Mess Like Nobody’s Business is a blend of mellow, artfully crafted folk and ambient sounds. (MySpace Site)

In Fear and Faith (Sand Diego, CA) – Yet another band with regular and screamed vocals, In Fear and Faith sets itself apart from the other bands by playing music heavy enough that the singing parts are the ones more out of place. ( MySpace Site )

Left Alone (Wilmington, CA) – Another one of the “true” punk bands on this year’s roster, Left Alone is a band that got their start as the Warped Tour BBQ Band in 2004 and 2005. This time the band that plays a mix of three-chord punk, ska and a hint of twang will be doing Warped without having to cook their way through. MySpace Site

Mayday Parade (Tallahassee, FL) – A recent addition to Atlantic Records, this is their third year with Warped. They boast an emo-pop sound that is slick, polished and emotional, if not overly deep. (Official Site)

NeverShoutNever! (Joplin, MO) - The alias of acoustic/pop artist Christofer Drew, NeverShoutNever! will be bringing syrupy sweet acoustic pop love songs to the Warped stages again this summer. He’s up for a challenge - can his sound can cut through the cynicism and louder preferences of the typical Warped tour attendee? (MySpace Site)

Of Mice and Men (Costa Mesa, CA) – Founded by original Attack Attack frontman Austin Carlile, Of Mice and Men already have a buzz surrounding them. They play the tight, fast post-hardcore that has become a Warped standard. (MySpace Site)

Parkway Drive (Byron Bay, Australia) – Adding to this year’s international contingent is this metal outfit with solid hardcore roots. Blistering guitars and guttural vocals have captured this band a solid following Down Under, and their sound should fare as well in the States. (MySpace Site)

Pierce The Veil (San Diego, CA) – A prog/post-hardcore band formed by brothers Vic and Mike Fuentes (who are also members of the supergroup Isles & Glaciers with Craig Owens of Chiodos and Jonny Craig of Emarosa), Pierce The Veil are Warped and Taste of Chaos veterans. Their sound is complex and convoluted, an all-over-the-place amalgam that’s hard not to find good – and bad – elements in. (MySpace Site)

Mike Posner (Southfield, MI) – He’s a singer/songwriter/producer who’s collaborated with Big Sean and 3OH!3, and at the risk of sounding elitist, I think I may have him pegged as the one musician who doesn’t fit into the scope of the Warped Tour at all. (MySpace Site)

The Pretty Reckless (New York, NY) – If you’re looking for a celebrity on the Warped Tour stage, The Pretty Reckless set will be the one to catch. The band is fronted by one Taylor Momsen, better know for playing Jenny Humphrey on the CW televeision series Gossip Girl . It’s more than gimmick, though, as The Pretty Reckless plays raw, dirty rock that picks up where the grunge bands of the ‘90s left off. (MySpace Site)

The Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band (Indianapolis, IN) – They only have three members, but the misnomer is easy to overlook once you hear their music, a frantic version of Delta Blues (complete with washboard) that has landed the band slots touring with Flogging Molly, a slot on Springer and now a run on Warped. (MySpace Site)

Riverboat Gamblers (Denton, TX) – One of the most energetic live shows I’ve ever seen, Riverboat Gamblers frontman Mike Wiebe is known for spending as much time in the crowd and climbing the walls as he does onstage. This tour should include a fully-recovered Ian MacDougall, the guitarist hit by a car in 2009. (Official Site)

The Rocket Summer (Dallas/Fort Worth, TX) – This indiepop outfit is the brainchild of Stephen Bryce Avary, a guy who writes, plays and produces every note on his albums. On the road he has a band, but his vision of upbeat, melodic, indie rhythms should carry through just fine. (Official Site)

Set Your Goals (Orinda, CA) – Meshing pop punk with melodic hardcore, Set Your Goals is a band that fits well on the Epitaph label. Their positive hardcore sounds conjure up elements of Lifetime and Save The Day, but their delivery is very fresh. (MySpace Site)

The Sparring (Orange County, CA) – Fronted by former Tiger Army drummer Joel Bourne, the Sparring are a band that delivers a reeling mass of street punk straight from the speakers to your head, not apologizing if it knocks you down. (MySpace Site)

Suicide Silence (Riverside, CA) - Suicide Silence is metal. When I say they’re metal, I mean they’re metal in that style of psychotically heavy guitars and incoherently gutturally growled vocals that makes you say “whoah, that’s metal.” (Official Site)

Sum 41 (Ajax, ON) – Since 2001's “Fat Lip,” these guys have managed to become a pretty familiar name on the scene. This is the band’s 4th time on Warped, and they always deliver a high-intensity set. (Official Site)

The Summer Set (Scottsdale, AZ) – More of the powerpop sound that's heavy on the Warped Tour, the Summer Set plays upbeat love songs heavily loaded with pop hooks and messy haircuts. (MySpace Site)

VersaEmerge (Port St. Lucie, Florida) - Fronted by Sierra Kusterbeck, this experimental pop-rock band often gets lumped in with Paramore. This does a disservice to the band’s thick rhythm sections topped by massive guitar hooks, and eventually everyone is going to realize this is the more complex of the two. (MySpace Site)

We Are The In Crowd (Poughkeepsie, NY) – This will most likely be one of those flash-in-the-pan pop outfits, even with a contract and a song on The Hills . Musically, they play upbeat pop, light on substance. (MySpace Site)

We The Kings (Bradenton, FL) – The most awesome part of this band is the fact that they share a record label from Tom Jones. Aside from the sheer awesomeness of that, they play upbeat pop punk that isn’t too terrible, but skews to a younger demo. (MySpace Site)

Whitechapel (Knoxville, TN) – Named for the location of the Jack the Ripper murders, this very easily could have been the music that Jack would have listened to, had he had an iPod. Whitechapel’s proficiency with brutal death metal has landed them tours with bands ranging from Parkway Drive to Cannibal Corpse – and I think I have pretty good guess which one they got along better with. (MySpace Site)

You Me At Six (Weybridge, England) – A fan favorite in the UK, You Me At Six have a perfect grasp of a sound that blends pop punk hooks with a bit of new wave energy. The kids like them on their side of the pond, and they’ll probably fare well stateside as well. (MySpace Site)

VIDEO+REVIEW: Warped Tour 2009 in Boston

Posted at 05:08 by Michelle Abbasciano

If punk fans leap at any excuse to be pissed off, then the Boston stop on the 15th annual Warped Tour was a total godsend. The multitudes of Warpedgoers converging on the Comcast Center last Tuesday start the morning off by sitting in two-hour traffic jams on 495, only to spend the rest of the day wading through muddy lawns and getting their mascara hosed off by torrential downpours -- and they've each paid $35 for the privilege.

Still, while the rain was relentless, so were the fans; they weren't sitting this sold-out show out, no matter how bitchy Mother Nature got. The tangle of soaking-wet black-and-neon-clad teens, tweens, and twenty-somethings (trailed by the occasional hoodie-and-goodie-bag-carrying pack-mule/chaperone) spent the next eight hours anxiously shoving their way through the herd to catch a glimpse of their favorite bands on this 70-act tour.

Over at the Skullcandy Stage, hometown heroes Therefore I Am keep spirits up with a particularly energetic set and plenty of Bay State boosterism between songs. "I'm not just saying this cuz I'm from here, but in Massachusetts, we've got something fucking awesome going on," shouted vocalist Alex Correia. "This rain doesn't scare you guys, right? We live in this shit year-round. All these people from California, complaining -- got to put some hair on your chests!" Cue a frenzy of cheers and moshing.

Pop-punk favorites A Day to Remember drew a ridiculously enormous audience, with kids fist-pumping and head-banging along throughout the entire set. Bayside and Dance Gavin Dance brought their A game, too, playing such crowd pleasers as "Devotion and Desire" and "NASA" to a throng of faithful fans screaming every lyric back at them.

Then came the Millionaires -- a scantily clad, all-female sugarpop/electronica trio from LA -- who entertained their hyper crowd with "Just Got Paid, Let's Get Laid." Considering their bratty lyrics ("Can you believe I get paid to shake my ass on stage/We're getting drunk every day, you're makin' minimum wage/We live the life you wish, bitch, don't say shit/No talent, just lucky, but they still wanna fuck me"), the group's looking for trouble. And they got it -- starting with Senses Fail's mouthy lead singer, Buddy Nielsen.

"There's this new band that doesn't like me because I made fun of his girlfriend, who's in the Millionaires," Nielsen announced, his namedrop triggering an avalanche of boos. He added, with a sly smile, "I have no beef with anyone. I just wish some bands would break up and get the fuck away from me!"

The backbiting didn't stop there -- a lot of bands made time to diss such cred-challenged tourmates as the easy-to-hate-on Albuquerque scrunk outfit brokeNCYDE and poppy MTV darlings 3OH!3.

Frank Carter, the heavily tattooed singer for up-and-coming British band Gallows, had the choicest words for these newcomers, spewing swears and claiming they're not "real bands." But Gallows were good for more than just trash talk: From the middle of a 50-foot-wide gap in front of the Hurley Stage, Carter instructs the crowd to form "the biggest fucking circle pit [he's] ever seen" and goads audience members into tackling each other from a running start (a pit maneuver known as the Wall of Death). It's a hell of a show -- probably the best all day.

David McWane from Big D and the Kids Table, meanwhile, managed to keep a cheery attitude, saying "I really applaud anyone who has a new idea and goes for it." His positivity may come as no surprise -- local ska powerhouse Big D has always known how to amp up a crowd. When they launched into their full-on theatrical performance (complete with trombone, trumpet, sax, and four back-up singers in matching cherry-print dresses), it was hard to say who was having more fun: the grinning band or their thrilled fans, who made the floor shake with their bouncing and bopping along.

As if they weren't already exhausted enough from a day of (unsuccessfully) dodging raindrops and thrashing in mosh pits, swarms of kids flocked to the Main Stage to see what nonsense Warped Tour vets NOFX had in store for them. Bassist/lead singer Fat Mike managed to coax a few laughs out of the audience with his ramblings. Before playing the song "Massachusetts" -- which, he emphasized, NOFX has never done live before -- Fat Mike said, "I was born in Massachusetts, you know. I went out and bought a Massachusetts flag today!" He pointed to the gay-pride flag attached to his mic stand. Throughout their show, bubbles and blown-up condoms sailed through the air, as did the pungent aroma of weed.

Although this year's Warped Tour seemed to have way more beefing than in years past, there were plenty of kids trying to keep the peace: As the day was winding down, about 20 boys and girls lined up to offer free (albeit damp) hugs to any passersby who needed a pick-me-up before heading over to the Main Stage for one last romp, with show-enders 3OH!3 and Hit the Lights.

Punk may reign supreme on this tour, but a little feel-good pop under a finally rain-free sky really seemed to hit the spot -- at least for the kids who stuck it out to the very end (at this point, most folks were making a break for the exit, hoping to beat the traffic). Everyone left exhausted and sore -- and Warped fans wouldn't want it any other way.

Gallows instructs America on the proper ettiquette for a circle pit: "If you get knocked the fuck down it's your own fault." Plus a couple other highlights from last week's Warped Tour that didn't make it into our review. THREE MORE
