Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
Since launching in 1994, much has changed about the Warped Tour. For everything that's different about the annual traveling punk-rock caravan now, some things such as the hairdos have, for the most part, stayed refreshingly the same -- surprising, considering that the majority of attendees this year were babies when this thing was birthed. To wit, there were a number of dudes sporting liberty spikes. (Granted, most of them were older -- the younger fellas seem to prefer the swoop -- but still.) Have a look.
Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
