The roadshow kicks off June 22 in Phoenix and will rumble through more than 40 cities before coming to a close August 12 in Pontiac, Mich. Internet pre-sales on the Vans Warped Tour official Web site begin March 28.

Not all venues have been nailed down yet, but some of the cities penciled in to host the extravaganza include Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Calgary, Kansas City, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Dallas, Atlanta, New York City, Boston and Montreal.

Certain to be a highlight of the tour will be the Rollins Band, founded by ex-Black Flag frontman Henry Rollins. The band is expected to perform from the Black Flag catalog, as the 25th anniversary of the seminal L.A. punk outfit looms on the horizon.

Other bands expected to join the lineup on various dates include Living End, Vandals, Less Than Jake, Fenix TX, Ataris, Alien Ant Farm, Hank Williams III, The Misfits, Jimmy Eat World, Dub Pistols, and the multiple-personaed rapper Kool Keith.

Including local acts and one-time appearances, up to 400 bands are expected to participate in Warped at some point in its summer-long run.

A traditional component of the tour, of course, are the extreme athletes. Among those lined up are skater Steve Caballero, BMX rider Rick Thorne, and MotoX daredevil Jeremy “Twitch” Steinberg.

And if that’s just too old-school, Warped is adding a new attraction to the traveling circus: Incredibly Strange Wrestling, a San Francisco-spawned mating of indie wrestling and punk music.

With combatants boasting colorful names like “Poontangler” and “El Macho Sasquatcho,” ISW events have become popular at SF clubs and halls including the venerable Fillmore.

One ISW Web site describes the spectacle as “the most brutal competition in the world of rock & roll and professional sports. It pits Christian against Lion. Homosexual against furry beast. Scientologist boy band versus Mexican Viking Horde!”

In other words, tailor-made for the Warped Tour.
