With 70+ bands playing at Warped Tour today at Darien Lake, scoping out a few acts ahead of time is always a good idea.

But while the set lists and stage schedules aren’t announced until after doors open, be prepared for a long day of rocking, meeting bands and winning swag. Tickets are on sale at the door for the show this afternoon for $42 and can still be purchased online as well.

Also, according to Warped Tour there are a few opportunities for fans to have an even better day at the Tour.

Bring 3 canned food items, a $5 donation or used cellphones to the Feed Our Children NOW tent (donating to Boys and Girls Club of Buffalo) for a jump the line pass. Vans is busy this summer with giveaways, new merch, tour posters, stickers, contests and more.

Check twitter to get the Vans code word of the day, the first 200 fans to say the word at the Vans tent will get free gear! Also check for the Spell Your Way Backstage keyword which gives those of you who bought presales the chance to get a VIP backstage experience.

We’ve narrowed down the daunting list to a few worthy bands you should definitely plan your day around. Take a look and enjoy the show!
