Warped Tour 2010 Line-Up to Include Andrew W.K., Sum 41, Lots More

Despite the snowfall and the cold hard fact that it's wintertime, the folks at Warped Tour just gave us a good reason to be thinking about those dog days of summer again: on Friday, they unveiled the initial details for Vans Warped Tour 2010. And while the Warped Tour traditionally packs a punch, the 2010 edition already looks particularly loaded.

More than 60 acts were included in the initial announcement, highlighted by Andrew W.K., Sum 41, Dillinger Escape Plan, Reel Big Fish, the All-American Rejects, Motion City Soundtrack, I See Stars, Riverboat Gamblers and so on and so forth. The tour will kick off on June 24 in San Diego, Calif. and zig-zag around the entire country before wrapping up at the Washington County Fairgrounds in Hillsboro, Ore. on August 15. Visit the official website for a full list of announced bands and dates.The Warped Tour began in 1994 as a punk rock showcase and traveling one-day festival and has since expanded, under sponsorship by Vans, to include extreme sports and as many as 100 bands per stop. Notably, one of those bands each year gets the BBQ slot where, in exchange for being able to perform on the tour, the band members must prepare the daily backstage BBQ for all the bands and crew. No word yet on who will serve up the slop this year.
