Two Warped tours are better than one. This is one of the signs of how corporate ownership has searched for increased revenues. Last year the Warped tour was sold to Launch Media for $17 million.
Now, there's the debut of Warped Inside 2001 Tour, a club-sized offshoot of the venerable punk summer roadshow, the Vans Warped Tour.
Warped Inside 2001, headlined by The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, kicks off on March 15 in Milwaukee and finishes up in New York in early June.
The traveling 27-date version has been dubbed the "Your Town Thrown," and will feature extended stays in several cities, including Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York. Each night will also showcase different special guests, including fellow Warped alumi Flogging Molly, Fenix TX, and No Use For A Name.
"This is an opportunity to give music fans one more avenue to see Warped-caliber bands before the summer tour hits," said Ted Mico, senior vice president, Content Programming and Marketing. "The Mighty Mighty Bosstones and their throwdown shows in Boston have been so popular and we are excited to support them as they take the throwdown on the road."
