Irvine council frets over Vans Warped Tour at Great Park
Irvine California Tuesday night City Council debated hosting next Thursday's Warped Tour at the Great Park amid fears of large teen crowds and hard edged bands. Council members questioned safety sunscreen needs and potential mayhem as AMCI Marketing had approved the event without informing the council. The $36000 rental drew criticism while staff defended the private vetting and Pomona Fairplex praise. Council urged strong police presence and zero tolerance with no smoking.
