For young music fans, Warped Tour is rite of passage. The long day in the sun will likely yield blisters, sunburn and voices worn out from screaming, but it doesn't matter; all that does matter is finally getting an up-close look at that all-important band whose album has been played on an endless loop on fans' phones. And this year's lineup should get a lot of those fans excited. Representing genres such as rap, punk and metal, acts including Chelsea Grin, Cute Is What We Aim For, Every Time I Die, K.Flay, Motionless in White, Saves the Day, The Devil Wears Prada and Yellowcard will hit Warped Tour's various stages, all for an economical, teenager-friendly (and parent-friendly) price. Don't forget: Get in line early, and slather on that sunscreen. (Kolbie Stonehocker, City Weekly)
