There are some things I look forward to every year—MLB Opening Day, the first day after summer ends that it’s cool enough to wear a hoodie, and the start of the Vans Warped Tour! Warped Tour has become a staple of summertime since my first appearance back in 2001 (yea yea, I know I’m old). Last year I was lucky enough to hit the road with our amazing tour crew for a few days to talk to bands about our Animal Testing Breaks Hearts campaign. This year, I’ll be at it again!
Warped Tour officially kicks off today in California, and peta2 is there in full force to remind everyone that Elephants Never Forget about the abuses they face behind the scenes of the circus. Stop by the peta2 booth to say hi, pick up some sweet merch, and leave with all the free literature you can carry to help spread the word to friends and family.
You can check out this year’s full lineup here to see who all is playing your city, but to tide you over, here’s just a few of the bands hitting the stages this year:
After Midnight Project
Anti-Flag
Alesana
Attack Attack!
Alkaline Trio
Breathe Carolina
Bring Me The Horizon
Closure In Moscow
Eyes Set To Kill
Four Year Strong
Mayday Parade
Never Shout Never
Set Your Goals
Streetlight Manifesto
Sum 41
The Dillinger Escape Plan
The Summer Set
The Swellers
This Time Next Year
Versa Emerge
We The Kings
Stoked yet?! Who are you most excited to see this year? You’ll find me partying hard with Andrew W.K.!
peta2 Street Team Coordinator + lover of vegan food, cats, animal rights, Dawson's Creek, and Harry Potter.
Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.
Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.
Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ
I'm tall, a geek, nacho - obsessed, I love sewing and Cath Kidston, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.)
Jersey girl now I'm all country.
I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!
I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.
Life On A Tour Bus
I am Angela. When I am not helping animals I am listening to music, reading, or playing video games. My spirit animal is a fox and I love nature. What else is there to know? Want to know anything about me, need advice or anything message me :)
