Valiant Announces Vans Warped Tour Appearances For LA, NY, San Diego And More
Earlier this year, the Vans Warped Tour – America's longest running touring music festival – announced that it had brought Valiant on board to design artwork for all of the tour's key art, from its ubiquitous posters and newspaper ads to its website to t-shirts and other merchandise.
Found in the mid-1990s, the Vans Warped Tour is one still one of the States' preeminent touring music festivals and routinely draws in tens of thousands of teenagers and 20-somethings each year.
And, given that Valiant's artwork for this year's tour prominently features Faith, Secret Weapons' Livewire, Shadowman's Punk Mambo, X-O Manowar, and Bloodshot, this is likely going to be the most exposure that any comic book heroes get outside of the cineplex this summer.
Now Valiant is furthering its plans to bring its characters to a potentially new set of fans by turning each Warped Tour stop into a defacto comic convention… Announced this morning, Valiant has unveiled plans to exhibit with "a full-scale convention set-up" at the following five Warped Tour dates:
June 16, 2017
Seattle, WA
July 8, 2017
Wantagh, NY
July 9, 2017
Hartford, CT
August 5, 2017
San Diego, CA
August 6, 2017
Pomona, CA
Valiant is promising to bring along new merchandise and giveaways that will be exclusive to their Warped Tour dates. Look for more information on those to be forthcoming.
Additionally, Valiant will be making its presence felt across the entirety of the tour's 40+ stop by offering retailers free exhibition space at any Warped Tour dates in their metropolitan area. Interested retailers are instructed to contact retailers@
All of Valiant's Warped Tour appearances will also benefit The Keep A Breast Foundation – the breast cancer awareness charity that adopted Faith as its comics ambassador last year.
