“I got a feeling” this will be crazy a concert

80-plus bands in one place
A lonely guy is peeved as he is forced to watch a happy couple’s sugary-sweet romance. A boy and girl must keep their love on the down-low because they lead “such fragile lives.” Every song is a story with the All-American Rejects, one of roughly 80 bands playing the Vans Warped Tour July 13 at the Comcast Center in Mansfield. Among the other bands playing this multi-staged, all-day event are Hey Monday, Ivy League, Mayday Parade, Motion City Soundtrack, Never Shout Never, Sum 41, The Cab, The Summer Set, and We the Kings.
Don’t be scared. “Just Dance” and sing along.
When you see Lady Gaga in her bubble-dress costume, what thought comes to mind? A.) Cute dress! B.) How does she keep them from popping? C.) What a freak! In any case, with songs such as “Alejandro,” “Bad Romance,” and “Poker Face,” you have to admit Stefania Germanotta (Lady GaGa) has a pretty talented singing voice.

HOT DAY TRIPS
Good, clean, stomach-churning fun
With rides such as the Boston Tea Party, Star Blaster, and the Turkish Twist, Canobie Lake Park in Salem, NH has what it takes to get your stomach spinning round and round while you try to walk in a straight line.
Want a better beach? Try “winging” it.
Forget about Springs Brook in Bedford. That place smells weird, has too many bugs, and gets overcrowded. Head instead for Wingaersheek Beach in Gloucester. With its forever-shallow surf, white sands, and huge rocks you can climb on at low tide, this unique and somewhat sheltered spot has way more appeal – and still enough waves to bring a boogie board.
Rides for all ages
Bizarro, Flash Back, and Tomahawk will make you scream and shout! But if thrill rides aren’t your thing, Six Flags New England, in Springfield, has rides in four different categories, including “family rides” such as the New England Skyway cable car and the Shipwreck Falls water flume.
Mini golf, koi fish and ice cream
Soak up the sun at Paradise Mini Golf in Danvers. You can play mini golf, try your best at the driving range, and when you are done swinging your club you can visit Koi Pond and feed these amazing fish. Paradise also serves locally made Russ Treadwell ice cream – delicious!
