What: Vans Warped Tour 2010
When: July 23, 2010
Where: Vinoy Park, St. Petersburg
Amongst all the holiday season hullabaloo, the people behind one of the biggest music festivals in North America released the list of bands for the St. Petersburg stop of the 16th annual Vans Warped Tour. As of New Year's Eve there were 49 acts named for the event and, as always, there is a little something on the list for everyone…well almost everyone. While there is no shortage of drool-worthy, powerpop and pop punk pretty boys and girls, a good amount of hardcore and screamo, and some awesome Warped Tour veterans, the softer side of the alternative scene is a little underrepresented. Nevertheless, if you have attended Warped in the past couple of years, you'll know what to expect.
