Vans Warped Tour has reached the ripe old age of 15 — an eternity in the cutthroat world of summer music tours, although likely the average age of its attendees. It’s also a steal considering the number of big-name punk, emo and post-hardcore acts playing the 46-date national jaunt. Boulder’s white-hot 3OH!3 will be joined by 50 others, including Bad Religion, NOFX, Less Than Jake, Flogging Molly, Bouncing Souls, the Ataris, Big D & the Kids Table, the Devil Wears Prada and Saosin. Sunday in the parking lots around Invesco Field. $33.50-$40. Ticketmaster Judas Priest follows a number of indie rock acts (the Pixies, Sonic Youth, Sebadoh) in building a tour around the song-for-song performance of one of its classic albums, in this case, the 1980 turning point “British Steel.” The album featured radio staples such as “Breaking the Law” and “Living After Midnight” and established Priest as a Top 40 contender outside of the band’s native UK metal base. Priest’s Tuesday show at Red Rocks also includes less-than-worthy openers Pop Evil, from Grand Rapids, Mich., and fellow aging British hard rockers Whitesnake. $44.50-$79.50. Ticketmaster
