Monday’s leak of a poster purporting to show the artists performing on the 2016 Warped Tour was confirmed as genuine yesterday with the official line-up announcement.
Genuine with a few additions, that is: Good Charlotte, Sum 41 and 3OH!3 are among the bands who were absent on the leaked line-up, which originated with the Twitter account of the Las Vegas Hard Rock Hotel, but are now confirmed to be on the bill for at least some of the tour’s dates.
Other big-name acts include New Found Glory, Less Than Jake, Falling in Reverse, Four Year Strong, Yellowcard, Reel Big Fish and Every Time I Die.
The travelling festival kicks off in Anchorage, Alaska, on 22 June and visits venues across the US throughout the summer before coming to an end at Portland Expo Center in Portland, Oregon, on 13 August.
Watch the full line-up announcement from Full Sail University in Florida, hosted festival founder Kevin Lyman and bands Less Than Jake, Real Friends, Wage War and Dash Ten, below:
