Sounds Like San Diego: June 25

Wednesday is a good day to exploit any of that remaining angst left over from your youth. That's because you can join the kiddos down in Chula Vista for some fantastic weather as you experience the Vans Warped Tour. Always a mix of new bands and old, known bands and bands to discover, this year's headliners include Yellowcard, Bowling for Soup and Anberlin. One of the really cool things about the festival that nobody really talks about is that set times are determined each day of the tour, so you can get lots of surprises all throughout the day. By night, punky and spunky is the theme as the Thermals return to the Casbah, Locals Barbarian and Soft Lions offer great opening support. At the Hideout, catch Pure X and Sisu, or head to U-31 for Sway + Art.
