Vans Warped Tour Reveal The Used As Special Guest Addition To Line-Up

Written by Jon Stickler
With just three days to go before Alexandra Palace opens its doors to 10,000 Vans Warped Tour ticket holders; organisers can reveal a special guest addition to the bill in the form of Utah rockers The Used.
Bert McCracken and co join the all star Warped cast for a surprise appearance at the sold out show, and are very much looking forward to it: “We can't wait to play Warped Tour London! The US tour over the summer was so much fun and we can't wait for the British version. Bring your tea and crumpets to Ally Pally and lets have a jolly 'ol time!"
Ernie Ball Battle Of The Bands winners Taking Hayley beat some fierce competition from 280 bands to secure a coveted spot on the Kevin Says stage. Fresh from supporting Mindless Self Indulgence and with a live performance jam packed with high energy riffs and powerful emotional vocals, Taking Hayley cap a fine 2012 at Warped UK. Fans of Paramore, You Me At Six and All Time Low will want to catch these guys.
One more special guest is still to be revealed – but not until the stage times are posted on the giant Vans Warped inflatable, keeping with the US Warped tour tradition – on the day of the show.
It’s not just awesome bands from around the globe on offer. The Vans Warped tour is also famous for its extreme sports element, and the UK will be no exception. Christian Hosoi and Zachery Poland-Shaw join a skating demo line up which already boasts Steve Caballero, Christian Hosoi and Alex Perelso, while BMX will include breathtaking displays from Dennis McCoy, Simon Tabron and Zachery Poland-Shaw.
Dozens of stalls, non-profit organisations and individual band merchandise booths are all on hand to echo the vibe of the US shows and bring the Warped spirit to North London.
The full line-up and stage split info is below in alphabetical order. Stage times will not be revealed until the morning of the show, on the infamous Vans Warped inflatable board. Ticket holders will also receive a free map with all the stage times on.
