Often referred to as the “Winter Warped Tour” (due to the events sharing a number of bands and behind-the-scenes people), the Rockstar Taste of Chaos Tour ensures that fans across the land can bond during the colder months over their shared love of punk and emo. This year’s RTOCT mixes veterans like Thursday, who are running 10 years strong and about to drop a new album in February, with metalcore Brits Bring Me the Horizon, hardcore-poppers Four Year Strong, post-hardcore SoCal kids Pierce the Veil, and hardcore (hey, no prefix!) Canadian up-and-comers Cancer Bats. Despite the Warped Tour connections, RTOCT has a decidedly more aggressive bent—Katy Perry won’t be appearing here—so, come scream along.
