It looks like Islander have been kicked off the Vans Warped Tour’s final cross-country run after only playing one show. The band confirmed the news in the below video saying they were removed from the trek due to frontman Mikey Carvajal damaging a backline drum set by jumping into it. The group were originally set to perform from July 1 through July 8.
Blink-182 were apparently planning to play a surprise set on the Vans Warped Tour’s final cross-country run, but they ended up having to cancel as Travis Barker continues to battle blood clots in his arms. The news was revealed by the Warped Tour’s official Instagram, while responding to a fan. On another note, more special guests have been confirmed for the tour including Cassadee Pope, who will be performing on July 30-31, and William Ryan Key (Yellowcard), who will be performing on July 10-14.
