As usual, the Vans Warped tour is boasting a who's who of the punk world. Kicking off on June 22nd in Phoenix, this year's lineup includes Rancid, Weezer , Rollins Band, 311 , Pennywise, Fenix TX, AFI, Alien Ant Farm, the Ataris, Dub Pistols, H20, Kool Keith , Less Than Jake, the Living End, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, New Found Glory and the Vandals.

Vans Warped 2001 also has a few new attractions including Incredibly Strange Wrestling, Warped Are They Now? -- a Warped Tour museum celebrating seven years of Warped madness -- and "reverse daycare," so kids can drop their parents off and roam the arenas free of pesky moms and dads.
