OurStage.com is offering musicians a great opportunity to play on the OurStage.com Stage during the 2012 Warped Tour (which kicks off in Utah on June 16).

For the first time, OurStage will sponsor a stage for 22 stops of the festival. Fans will be asked to rank the competing artists in order of their preference and will determine the up-and-coming musical acts that will get the chance to showcase their talent on one tour date or a set of 22 tour dates.

One artist will travel from city to city on a private tour bus provided by OurStage. Twenty-two additional bands will also get the chance to showcase their talent on the OurStage.com Stage at the one Warped Tour stop closest to them. Fans will be able to log on to OurStage.com until April 30 to determine who moves on to play at the OurStage.com Stage at this year's Warped Tour.

Five fans will also receive two tickets to the 2012 Warped Tour stop nearest to their hometown. Artists can enter their best original song into the www.OurStage.com Stage Warped National Opportunity on the site now through March 27.

Regional entrants can submit their music into the www.OurStage.com Stage Warped Regional Opportunity through April 22, 2012, for a chance to play at the tour stop in or near their hometown.
