Now in its 14th summer, the Warped Tour has broadened its scope to include poppier acts like snarky L.A. singer Katy Perry (whose "Ur So Gay" is getting spins on radio) and jazzy chanteuse Charlotte Sometimes. But the annual megashow hasn't totally abandoned its punk-rock roots: Against Me!, the Vandals, the Dillinger Escape Plan and Pennywise have all signed on. Expect lots of emo pop, too, as Cobra Starship, the Academy Is . . . and Say Anything are among the dozens of acts playing on the 46-date trek, which continues to expand its environmental mission by using biodiesel-fueled buses and vans, and solar power for one of the small side stages. First-timer Sometimes is stoked to be on board the teen-punk rite of passage. "It's going to be like summer camp," she says. "Except with a bunch of smelly dudes."
