As the Vans Warped Tour prepares to embark on its final cross-country trek, Target is offering an exclusive package of the 2018 Warped Tour Compilation, featuring songs from bands on the tour this year including: Tonight Alive, Waterparks, Senses Fail, Picturesque, Broadside, Simple Plan, and more. The set will be available digitally via iTunes as well. Both available June 22nd.
Tonight Alive’s Jenna McDougall is featured on the cover. The Australian rock band will perform at every date this summer.
“Warped Tour has been a life changing experience for Tonight Alive over the years,” McDougall says. “For us it was an amazing incubator as artists and gave us the unique opportunity to transform daily in front of an audience. I start and finish the tour as a different person every time and feel so honored to be pictured on the final years compilation CD! I can’t wait to make my final mark with the festival this Summer.”
Photographer Lisa Johnson has spent years photographing Warped Tour and captured the photo of Jenna featured on the final compilation.
“It has been a honor to collaborate with SideOneDummy creating the packaging for the annual Vans Warped Tour Compilation CD series for nearly two decades. Purchasing the compilation CD release is a rite of passage for any Warped concert go-er, and a wonderful time-capsuled soundtrack to the summer,” Johnson states. “We put a lot of thought and care into each image that appears on the two discs and in the packaging. Hopefully anyone who has ever picked up the CD has enjoyed feasting their eyes on the artwork while reliving their Warped experience in every panel.”
Curious photographers attending Van Warped Tour’s final trek have a chance to learn what it is like to be in Johnson’s shoes first hand. Lisa Johnson’s Life In The Pit: The Rock Photographer Experience is an on-site workshop through The Entertainment Institute presented by Educational Advantage School of Music (TEI).
The compilation will also be available at the SideOneDummy tent at every date of the Vans Warped Tour.
