North America's longest-running traveling festival, the 16th annual Vans Warped Tour, got underway over the past weekend, and for punk-rock fans, the all-ages outing is an absolute must-see.
Aside from the music -- bands such as 3OH!3, Alkaline Trio, Andrew W.K., Dropkick Murphys, Everclear, Motion City Soundtrack, Pennywise, Reel Big Fish, Sum 41 and the All-American Rejects -- this year's event features an amateur skateboarding competition. Tomorrow (6/29) the tour takes place at Cricket Wireless Pavilion in Phoenix, AZ. More than 40 cities will be see the tour through mid August.
SoundSpike contributing photographer Tim Mosenfelder was on hand for the second stop on the itinerary -- Saturday (6/26) at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, CA -- and here are some hightlights.
