For the parents of Vans Warped Tour fans who may not be squeezing their way to the front row, AT&T will host a reverse day care tent to give parents the chance to relax, enjoy a cool beverage and to learn about the latest wireless applications. Brand ambassadors will educate parents on the TXT to Connect program by holding brief SMS 101 demos and contests, which are geared toward connecting parents and teens.

AT&T will also hold exclusive Backstage Acoustic Sets that feature a Warped Tour band in six markets throughout the tour. The company will reward 30 AT&T customers on-site and select additional winners through local market promotions.

"Each year, the Vans Warped Tour has grown increasingly more mobile to keep fans connected, and AT&T is excited to be a part of this interaction," said David Garver, executive director of Marketing, AT&T's wireless unit, "Cutting-edge mobile technology adds a valuable dimension to fans' experiences at the Warped Tour."
