Vans Warped Tour, North America’s longest running annual touring festival celebrated a sweet sixteen anniversary this year. The punk rock extravaganza launched June 25, 2010 at Carson’s Home Depot Center. Forty-three stops across the country later, the tour culminated on Sunday, August 15 at the Washington County Fairgrounds in Hillsboro, Oregon. 3OH!3, Andrew W.K., Dropkick Murphy’s, Mike Posner, Sum 41 and some of Orange County’s favorites- The Adolescents, Agent Orange, Fast Forward Romance, Longway, Manic Hispanic and Reel Big Fish- include just a few of the hundreds of bands on the 2010 lineup. I was lucky enough to catch two stops on the whirlwind tour – June 27 at Ventura County Fairground at Seaside Park and August 11 at the Pomona Fairplex.
