The huge Vans Warped [ tickets ] Tour posse will take a day off of rocking next month to lend a hand to Southwest Louisiana residents who are still suffering the fallout from hurricanes Katrina and Rita.On July 7, artists, crew and sponsors from the tour will join with Unite The United Foundation to aid elderly and disabled residents who have had little or no assistance in restoring their homes and communities, according to a press release.In 2006, the Warped Tour brought 400 volunteers to Cameron Parish, LA, to assist in clearing more than seven tons of debris left from hurricane Rita, and the Volunteer Center of Southwest Louisiana asked them to return this summer.Warped organizers are also accepting monetary donations and in-kind items to sell through a charity auction at the Unite The United Foundation website. That non-profit organization was founded by Warped Tour creator Kevin Lyman and the festival's producers.The punk-rock outing, now in its 14th year, is set to roll out this Friday (6/20) in Pomona, CA, and visit 46 cities across the US and Canada through mid-August. The itinerary is listed below.More than 150 bands will take part, including mainstage acts Pennywise [ tickets ], Motion City Soundtrack, Against Me!, Angels and Airwaves, Paramore, As I Lay Dying, Gym Class Heroes, Jack's Mannequin, Matisyahu, Reel Big Fish, Relient K, The Academy Is..., and The Vandals, among many others.
