Audix has announced that they will be the official microphone sponsor of the 2017 Vans Warped Tour presented by Journeys.
Audix will provide microphones for all seven stage backlines and PA, in addition to microphones for all of the workshops provided by The Entertainment Institute.
“We are truly excited to have signed on for the Vans Warped Tour this year,” said Chris Doss, vice president of sales and marketing, Audix. “Audix microphones are designed for the rigors of the ‘road’ and engineered to perform exceptionally well on loud stages. It is a privilege to have the opportunity to share the clear, authentic sound of Audix with so many fantastic bands and their audiences across the US.”
Warped Tour, which started in 1995, remains the longest-running and largest touring festival in the United States, and starts in Washington on June 16. Some of the headliners for the 2017 of Warped Tour include Anti-Flag, Beartooth, BlessTheFall, Bowling for Soup, Creeper, Futuristic, GWAR, Hatebreed, I Prevail, Memphis May Fire, Neck Deep, New Years Day, Our Last Night, Sick Of It All, and TSOL.
The workshops will consist of 40-min small group conversations with artists backstage, with topics ranging from musical instrument lessons, to careers in the music industry.
“It is great for the Vans Warped Tour to have the support of endemic music companies like Audix,” said Kevin Lyman, founder of Warped Tour. “We are excited for the strategic opportunities that arise when partnering with a brand that is able to fit the unique rigors of the tour.”
Vans Warped Tour presented by Journeys runs until August 6, where it concludes in Pomona, California.
