The Vans Warped Tour returns to test how in touch with youth culture you are. It features bands like Big Chocolate, the Wonder Years, Hawthorne Heights, Forever the Sickest Kids and Emily's Army -- you might scratch your head a little, but it knows how to harness the music kids like. For the first year ever it's adding an EDM stage to bridge the gap between ravers and skaters. By nightfall, grown folks can enjoy Big Country at the Belly Up, the Doobie Brothers at Humphreys or Cash'd Out at the San Diego County Fair. And there's also a killer rock & roll lineup at the Casbah, with Family Wagon headlining.
