The Warped Tour

By weeklyvolcano on March 31, 2006

AmberpacificThe Warped Tour is like the hyperactive little brother of Lollapalooza. The bands are louder, there are more of them, and the whole event is constructed around skateboard culture.  Today, the Warped Tour announced it will be stopping by the Gorge Amphitheatre July 15 to rock your face off.   
There's always a bumper crop of up-and-comers in the ranks, and this year is no exception: 18 Visions, AFI, Aiden, The Academy Is, Against Me!, Alexisonfire, Amber Pacific, Anti Flag, Armor For Sleep, ASG, Billy Talent, The Bled, Bouncing Souls, Bullet For My Valentine, Buzzcocks, Cartel, The Casualties, Die Hunns, Dork, Down To Earth Approach, Dropping Daylight, The Early November, Eight Fingers Down (Bbq Band), Emanuel, Emery, Every Time I Die, The Fall Of Troy, Flashlight Brown  ... crap, too tired to continue this.  Check out The Warped Tour Web site for a complete list of bands.
Tickets are $31.80 and will go on sale April 7, 4 p.m., at Ticketmaster outlets. - Brad Allen
