July 30, 2015 at Cricket Wireless Amphitheater in Kansas City, MO. —
The 21st edition of the Vans Warped Tour rolled into Kansas City on a sunny day, when the high was 88 degrees, and the bands were the ones heating up the venue.
This year’s edition of Vans Warped Tour featured Asking Alexandria, Black Veil Brides, Miss May I and Pierce the Veil on the Unicorn and Shark main stages. In all, the tour featured nine stages, including the Monster Energy Stage, Journeys Left Foot Stage and Right Foot Stage, the Ernie Ball Stage, the Beatport Stage and the Acoustic Basement Stage. Comedians and spoken word artists were featured at The Vans Warped Comedy Tent, which was sponsored by The Laugh Button.
Thousands of fans mingled with fellow music lovers as artist autograph session tents filled the majority of the music festival venue. Monster Energy’s 18-wheeler truck had its side open, giving fans a place to get cooled down and amped up on Monster’s assortment of flavored energy drinks.
With nine stages tapped with plenty of talented artists representing the Metal, Alternative, Pop and Acoustic Rock genres, the variety of acts provided fans with several choices of music. While the nationally known acts surely were the draw to Vans Warped Tour, it was great to hear new and unknown acts to get acquainted with their sound and become a new fan. Phosphene, hailing from Chicago, was one such band that performed on the Ernie Ball stage. The four-piece band, led by Jennifer Imparato, hammered through a short set of Metalized tunes.
