Getting Your First Music Industry Job On Warped Tour
With the first acts being announced for this summer's Warped Tour, We Are The Kids decided to gather up their articles and interviews about getting jobs on the business side of Warped Tour. Their wealth of information should be useful not only for those who are getting started in the industry and want to get on Warped Tour but for those seeking an entry point into music business more generally.
