The Ataris are at the helm of this fall’s VW Music Ed Tour, which hits college campuses all over the States. A grand total of 20 stops are planned, although only about half of those have been announced thus far.

The current schedule finds the outing, which also features Vendetta Red tagging along, revving up at the start of October on the East Coast.

“Volkswagen is thrilled to once again bring this exciting, cutting-edge concert tour to campuses throughout the country,” Karen Marderosian of VW said.

Cutting edge is right. The fest features a host of pre- and post-concert fun, including an Extracurricular Activities tent with car races, an iron-on T-shirt station, and more. At the Student Lounge, kids can chill out, get a massage, throw on some temporary tattoos, grab some munchies and play X-Box games.

Over at the VW Activity Village, the Scratch DJ Academy will be in session, with demos on how to be a spinner of discs.

Tickets for the event range from the unbeatable price of free on up to $8, depending on location. Check out vwmusicedtour.com for the scoop on tickets and sweepstakes.
