As we announced a few months back, premier summer traveling punk fest the Vans Warped Tour, now entering its 22nd consecutive year, will return to Nashville on June 29, its third year back after an extended absence from Music City, following the 2006 closure of the Starwood Amphitheatre. Set to take place once again at The Fairgrounds Nashville, tickets are currently on sale right here, and can also be purchased in person at Grimey’s, The Groove, Hail, and Rocketown.
While Warped’s lineup is, and has long been, aimed at the teenage demographic, the fest has always maintained a fairly eclectic lineup, balancing a healthy crop of legacy acts with a new batch of artists ranging from punk to ska to hardcore to metal to hip hop to EDM to indie and everything in between. This year’s bill is the best we’ve seen in a awhile, especially if you’re a nostalgic 20-something, and Nashville’s stop has been announced to include performances from established acts like New Found Glory, Yellowcard, Sum 41, Less Than Jake, Every Time I Die, Reel Big Fish, The Maine, and Teenage Bottlerocket, plus buzzworthy up and comers Real Friends, Knuckle Puck, State Champs, The Story So Far, Masked Intruder, and so, so many more. Check out the full Nashville lineup below!
