Warped Tour 2010 Anticipation.

Vans Warped Tour is coming to Mansfield, MA on July 13th! This will be my third consecutive year attending the festival, which has become a true summer highlight for me. Here is the current line-up (bands I'm particularly excited for are bold, bands I'd be interested in checking out are in italics).

So, there really aren't too many bands I'm that excited about, but a lot that I'm curious to see. One of the great parts of Warped Tour for me has been discovering new bands and getting into some that I might not have heard otherwise. This year's line-up is a bit of a disappointment after last year's packed roster, but the price is good, the atmosphere is fun, and it just wouldn't be summer as I now know it without it.
