Description
The funny thing about Warped Tour is that even the new-schoolers seem to be going for the old-school (or at least mid-school) punk. A couple of years ago, it was NOFX holding court over the festival, sending emo kids and grizzled gutterpunks alike flocking to the same stage. This year, it's likely to be '90s icons Less Than Jake and Against Me!, although among the 60 or so bands performing this year, there's quite a few big, multi-generational acts. Jack's Mannequin, Simple Plan, Reliant K, Paramore, Unwritten Law, the Devil Wears Prada and Gym Class Heroes are among those scheduled to perform. Black eyeliner is handed out free at the gate - oh wait, no, it only seems like it is. - Steve Palopoli sanjose.com
