Today, Van's announced it will be adding five new bands to the set list for the 2011 Warped Tour. With a diverse range of genres, this summer's rage fest is shaping up to be one to remember.First on the list is butt punk-rock band, Lucero, from Memphis. With a sound related to Nickelback plus a ball sack and talent, this bar band that made it big is sure to get some lighters burning in the air.
Ska legends, Big D and the Fucking Kids Table, have been added to the list to even out the rude boys and scene kids. The skank pits are sure to be poppin' when these Boston locals bring the Jamaican feel good atmosphere across America.
Bringing the hardcore across the pond, the UK's own Enter Shikari has been added to the 2011 list. Their heavy hitting electro is sure to strike a chord with concert goers. These dudes are veterans in the scene, making them a great addition.
The Atlanta glam rockers, Family Force 5, have been added to the set list. They even have all of their outfits picked out for tour, according to Jefferee Star's blog (speculation only haha). If getting down with the boogie sound is what you're all about, you'll love this energetic mix of synth pop and alternative.
LA's screamo sensation, Of Mice and Men, are also added to the 2011 list. You may need to find some skinny jeans that are 100% spandex for this one, because I'm sure you'll be wanting to get down to these dudes. Their bass heavy breakdowns and impressive vocals are sure to keep the hardcore scene alive thus summer.
Here's the full list of all the bands getting loud this summer, check it out for yourself.
