LIVE picha + REVIEW: WARPED UK WITH BLACK VEIL BRIDES 

2230: Just a quiet one for Black Veil Brides tonight, then...

2210: Like fire? Like family? Like Asking Alexandria? Check 

2200: Asking Alexandria are still a very good band, by the way. David McLaughlin reports in...

"Following those pesky cancelled shows in Manchester and London earlier this year, this show at Warped is Asking Alexandria's first appearance in the UK with new singer Denis Stoff. You could forgive the guy for being a little timid, a little unsure of himself and downright green, frankly. Incredibly, he's none of those things.

Somehow, the new guy looks, sounds and feels like he's been in the fold forever. And what a set of pipes he brings to the band. And he's got his 'banter' game down as well, leading the crowd in chanting good-natured obscenities toward his new best buds.

There are big moments where it all falls into place too. But when 'I Won't Give In' hits it feels particularly poignant. 'The Final Episode' encore is another. It feels like a victory when it could have been a total disaster. Now think back to the start of this year. Did you think this band could pull that off?"

2045: Moose Blood are really good. Have we mentioned that Moose Blood are really good? Allow David McLaughlin to tell you some more...

"This is getting a little embarrassing now. Moose Blood keep turning up to these kinds of things, in the middle-to-latter part of the bill - Slam Dunk, Reading & Leeds and this - and every time they steal the show.

They do it again this evening. They play all the highlights from debut album, 'I'll Keep You In Mind From Time To Time'. Imagine how it'll go down when they have that second album to play with. 

There's a coterie of UK bands out there to believe in right now. Moose Blood are one of the most important. This is further proof."

2030: Here is a mosh cam Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes. The stuff we go through for you...

2000: Creeper are pretty hot right now, and today they were amazing, says Gav Lloyd.

"There are good bands, there are bad bands and then there are special bands. Creeper definitely fall into the latter category. While they've been on the road a lot this year, it doesn't take away from a performance that is nothing short of jaw-dropping. Punk rock with an air of mystery, delivered with the level of emotion capable of making your heart burst, this band are magical. Based on today's performance Creeper could very well be headlining this thing in a few years."

"Attila are undoubtedly one of the most divisive bands on the bill today, but even the haters would have to (begrudgingly) admit they are superb at what they do. In a scene full of generic metalcore Fronz and Co. are an expletive full welcome alternative. They come to raise hell and they pull it off with aplomb. Their set causes absolute bedlam, including the biggest circle pit of the day around the sound desk to 'Shots For The Boys'. It may not be for everyone, but those present aren't disappointed, Attila are incredible today."

1845: August Burns Red looked BIG on the main stage earlier. This big.

1815: Ghost Town acoustic? Ghost Town acoustic.

Oh, hai Ghost Town. Thanks for swinging by for an unbilled acoustic performance!

1755: Vans Warped Tour is basically a second home for Man Overboard. Here they are strutting their stuff on the Monster East stage.

1730: Metro Station are back in the UK. Here's what David McLaughlin made of it all...

"It's been six years since this lot played in the UK. Long enough for most of the people inside Ally Pally to have forgotten all about them, which makes their hero's welcome all the more surprising and strange.

"But according to much-maligned frontman Trace Cyrus on stage today, "This time Metro Station are here to stay.

"Within seconds of recent 'Gold' EP standout 'She Likes Girls', the tone is set. It's all a bit tongue-in-cheek, but if you take it for what it is, then you can't help but have a whole lot of fun watching. There are shout outs to Fronz and Ronnie Radke. There are guitars played but they are barely audible over the synths. But none of that really matters. 

It's obvious what everyone has come for and Metro Station know it too, bringing things to a natural conclusion with the stupidly catchy silliness of breakthrough hit 'Shake It'. People dance, people sing, people have a good time. And that's surely the whole point of a day like this."

1520: The Word Alive kicked off this year's show. And Gav Lloyd reckons it was a bumpy (but thrilling) ride.

"It's not the ideal start to Warped Tour UK. Technical difficulties lead to a late start and The Word Alive are faced with the task of kicking things off to a crowd that are only slowly filling in. They're not disheartened, though. If anything, it only spurs them on to play with more vigour. All four members bounce around the stage like they've been spending the previous few hours chugging down energy drinks, and their enthusiasm is rewarded by more and more people heading their way."

1420: Fistbumps, free stuff and magazines. All at the Rock Sound stall.

1340: We have a stand here, too! Want cut-price magazines, signings and some super-secret cool stuff? Head to the merch hall and say hello...

1330: OH HI THERE. Vans Warped Tour UK returns to London's Alexandra Palace today.

While we wait for everything to kick off, let's take a look at
