Vans Warped Tour invaded Pomona, CA on Friday June 20th at the Fairplex. Living up to its reputation as one of the longest running and largest tours of the summer. Entering its 20th year, the Vans Warped Tour included over 75 bands and artists this year with 2 main stages. Featuring everything from the old reliable like Yellowcard and Less Than Jake and relative new comers like The Summer Set, Falling In Reverse, Breathe Carolina and one of my personal favorites Born Of Osiris.

The 8 side stages held almost endless amounts of choices. Bands like Ghost Town, Plague Vendor, Issues and another relative newcomer Pacific Dub leaving its mark on the tour. I have to put my fist in the air for Pacific Dub. A great rock outfit needs a place to display their talents. They are what Warped Tour was made for. A lot of the side stage acts really hold their own in a big way and Pacific Dub is a great example of that. If you do go check out the tour in a town near you, make sure to look up Pacific Dub. They are absolutely worth putting on the watch and listen for list.

If you do get a chance to hit up the Vans Warped Tour this year, don't forget to check out a lot of the Non-Profit Organizations' tents around the venue. One to keep an eye for is - is To Write Love On Her Arms - aka; www.twloha.com. A great organization dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide.

As mentioned earlier, this is Vans Warped Tour's 20th year. A great accomplishment for them. The folks over at Vans show great care in how the tour is presented to the fans and have created a venue that has something for everyone. There is even a stage dedicated to "all acoustic" artists. So if you are looking for things to do this summer, find out when the 2014 Vans Warped Tour when will be in a neighborhood near you and go. Have a great summer and don't forget the sunscreen.
