[FESTIVAL] Believe it or not, Riff Raff is one the biggest headliners on this year’s Vans Warped Tour. If you’re wondering if this yearly punk rock-based festival has changed over the years, the answer is yes. Where fans once lined up to see bands like NoFX and Rancid and to throw down in the mosh pit, they now file in for electro-rock bands like PVRIS and Drama Club—they’ve even added an electronic-music based stage for some of the bands hosted by Beatport. Don’t worry, a few veteran bands like Motion City Sound Track, H2O, Simple Plan, Silverstein, and Senses Fail sill pepper the lineup, but it’s certainly not your papa’s Warped Tour anymore. The Vans Warped Tour comes to Darien Lake on Wednesday, July 15.
