Van’s Warped Tour and PickupPal
We are proud to announce that Van’s Warped Tour has chosen to team up with PickupPal to get punk fans to all of their 46 festival dates. This is a huge honour for me personally because I was and still am a fan of punk music.
It started with Patti Smith and a bit of Iggy Pop then moved onto the Clash, Sex Pistols, Dead Kennedy’s and to round out to Black Flag, but that is old punk - some would say “Classic Punk”. I do have to qualify and say I was not as hard core as others because I could not really commit - I think it had to do with the fact that I had friends who were really committed and I just could not go as hard as they did. Out of all my “Punk Loving” friends from High School one still lives the Punk lifestyle, Shane Smith, (Vice Magazine and TV Go to 2:15 in the clip it is pretty funny).
In any event with such acts as: Norma Jean, All American Rejects, and Matisyahu - and tons of indie punk bands this years lineup is definitely awesome! For more info you can check it out on Van’s World Tour website.
