While other touring festivals have faltered (we're looking at you, Lilith Fair), annual punk-oriented revue Vans Warped Tour has been running strong since the mid-'90s. The organizers already announced a slew of acts that would be appearing at this year's instalment of the fest. Now, the list of remaining performers has leaked.
The seven new additions to the bill are: A Day to Remember, Against Me!, the Devil Wears Prada, August Burns Red, Attack Attack, 3OH!3 and Gym Class Heroes. These have join the massive list of already-announced bands, including Simple Plan, Less Than Jake, Yelawolf and many more.
The latest round of bands weren't due to be announced until tonight (March 25), when the festival bosses will host a press conference and party at Brooklyn's House of Vans. Unfortunately for them, the lineup leaked after they uploaded a promo video to YouTube.
"Our guy had to go in on YouTube Wednesday evening [to set up the YouTube announcement] and it was an open system for less than a minute-and-a-half," festival founded Kevin Lyman told Billboard. "But 11 kids got to view the website, and now the announcement of the lineup is everywhere."
It's a shame for Warped Tour organizers that the lineup leaked before they could announce the bands properly. Still, this small hiccup isn't likely to interfere with the long-running festival's success.
