Warped Tour 2010

Vans Warped Tour is an enormous yearly music-fest headlining some of the most popular bands of the time. The massive concert, largely sponsored by Vans and Kia Motors Companies, was started in 1995 by Kevin Lyman, and according to warpedtourdocumentary.com is the "longest-running most successful traveling music festival in American history, attracting multiple generations...". Warped Tour provides a massive gathering of live, fast passed performances, special meet and greet opportunities, and a variety of interesting attractions and tents to visit.

This year, Warped Tour 2010, stopped at the Comcast Theatre in Hartford, Ct on July 11. Headlining were over 70 bands such as Four Year Strong, Sum 41, NeverShoutNever, Anarbor, and The All American Rejects. Being my first year attending Warped Tour, I was not quite sure what to expect, however I was far from disappointed. Seeing a wide variety and majority of the bands though out the day, popular or not, was an awesome experience any alternative, rock, hardcore music listener would enjoy. RHAM freshman Vicky Randazzo also attended the massive concert in Hartford stating that for her first time, "it was a really awesome fun experience" and she thought "it was really cool how well the bands performing interacted with the crowds." Randazzo said she is excited to attend next years tour as well.

Vans Warped Tour was a lively unique musical experience filled with amazing performances and many memories. That day, my friend whom I attended with and I had the pleasure of meeting the members from one of our favorite bands, We The Kings. For a small price, we had the opportunity to meet and greet with the band one on one. The members were very down to earth, and easy to talk to which made the experience that much better.

Warped Tour 2010 was an awesome musical festival filled with talent and a never ending energetic vibe. I strongly recommend this experience for anyone interested in a wide variety of alternative music. With tents set up for each band and other venues for the sponsors of the event, there is always music playing and something to do.
