Bands React To Front Porch Step Playing Warped Tour
A number of bands have reacted to reports that Front Porch Step will play Vans Warped Tour today.
The singer-songwriter looks set to return to the stage for the first time since he was at the centre of a number of allegations regarding his sexual conduct with fans.
The Wonder Years' Dan Campbell was scheduled to play the same stage as Front Porch Step as his Aaron West And The Roaring Twenties solo project, but has now cancelled his set.

Meanwhile, Beartooth's Taylor Lumley (who is also on Warped this summer) has expressed his opinion.
If you have any dignity or respect for this music scene, you should not be watching @Frontporchstep's set at Warped Tour today in Nashville.

And to @Frontporchstep, don't stick around. Unless you want to find out what half the people on this tour want to do to you.

And The Ghost Inside's Jim Riley has waded in, too.
@tlums my fucking mind is blown

@Frontporchstep you should not be playing today. Don't watch, don't buy! Go support @ManOverboardNJ playing at the same time.

Elsewhere, Stick To Your Guns drummer George Schmitz has given his take on the situation.
Would love to see bands on Warped Tour today use their platform to speak out against @Frontporchstep playing.
