Van's Warped Tour, the annual touring music and extreme sports festival, comes to Cricket Wireless Pavilion in west Phoenix on Tuesday.
Now in its 15th year, the all-day Warped Tour features more than 60 punk, hard-core and metal-core bands. Acts on the main stage include Bad Religion, NOFX, Anti-Flag, Flogging Molly and Less Than Jake.
Three East Valley bands - Dear and the Headlights, Scary Kids Scaring Kids and The Maine - also will perform.
Phoenix marks the fourth stop on the festival's summer-long tour, which kicked off Friday in Pomona, Calif.
This year's Warped Tour will feature one main stage with bands playing 40 minutes instead of two main stages with 30-minute sets as in previous years. There also are several smaller stages.
Other attractions will include a half-pipe for skateboarders and bikers, and a flea-market-like area where each band will have a tent to sell merchandise.
