The Vans Warped tour will roll into Fitchburg Municipal Airport Wednesday, bringing its unique mix of rock music, youth culture and outdoor activities.
The concert will feature more than 75 bands along with various activities, demonstrations and merchandisers, according to the tour's Web site.
The Fitchburg show is the tour's only stop in New England and will be the 40th of 50 scheduled summer stops. In addition to mainstay performers such as NOFX and Less Than Jake, this year's concert includes rock legend JOAN JETT.
Kaylie Dorow, 16, of Athol has been to the Warped Tour for the last 3 years and said she was surprised the event came to Fitchburg.
"Given the fact that it was in Northampton last year, I didn't think it would be in Fitchburg," she said. "I'm excited for it. It's the only concert I'm really excited for."
Sponsors for the Warped Tour will provide various activities during the day-long concert. The outdoor area will also feature skateboard, bike and rock climbing demonstrations, according to MassConcerts, which is promoting the concert.
Cagney Butilier, 15, of Leominster, said she has looked forward to this concert after going to last year's Warped Tour.
"Ever since last year when I went I couldn't wait till it came back," she said. "It's amazing and when they say bring sunscreen, it's true."
The event also includes a "Reverse Daycare," in which concert-goers can "drop off" their parents in an air-conditioned tent with beverages, massages and movies, according to a Warped Tour press release.
Tickets are $26.50. Gates open at 11 a.m.
