Vans Warped Tour 2013 Set Times Announced; Dates, Tickets, & Venues

The Vans Warped Tour 2013 Set Times have been announced.

Returning to Australia for the first time in nearly a decade, the Warped Tour kicks off at Brisbane’s RNA Showgrounds this Friday before rolling through five dates around the country through to December with a lineup that takes in punk and hardcore bands, as well as the sports athletes that have distinguished the event for so many years.

Following on from six separate announcements adding local bands to the bill in each of Warped Tour 2013’s six legs, alongside the international likes of The Offspring, Simple Plan, Millencolin and Reel Big Fish, plus homegrown heroes like Parkway Drive, The Amity Affliction, and Hands Like Houses, the set times now reveal the scheduling for each of the festival’s three stages.

The ‘Kevin Says’ main stage takes the biggest acts, with Cali-punks The Offspring closing the main stage in each city with an 80-ish minute set, preceded by hour-long sets from Simple Plan, Millencolin, New Found Glory, The Used and more.

Hardcore five-piece Parkway Drive are the closing act on the ‘Off The Wall’ stage, following a set from UNFD favourites and equally beloved hardcore act The Amity Affliction, preceding them are thrash masters Hatebreed, We Came As Romans, and Confession.

All of the local additions unique to each of the Warped Tour 2013 legs are being hosted at the third ‘#NoRegrets Days’ Stage, opening each date from midday before the likes of Kids In Glass Houses and Crown The Empire continue in the afternoon. Arizona alt rockers Anarbor close the third stage – and the festival – on each date with a set that stretches just past The Offspring’s over at ‘Kevin Says’.

As for the dreaded timetable clashes, there’s quite a bit of overlap between acts – especially in the later part of the day allowing half an hour between bands here and there – but you may need to plan ahead if you want to catch the biggest of the local and international artists.

If you need to get a good spot early on, Warped Tour attendees have also been offered the chance to jump the queues at the gates, while still feeling good about it; by dropping off a donation at the Warped entry points as part of the Warped Tour Food Drive.
