OF MICE & MEN Pull Out of Warped Tour 30th Anniversary Show in DC Due to Family Matter

Of Mice & Men have officially dropped off the Washington, DC date of this summer’s Vans Warped Tour 30th anniversary celebration. The reason? A personal but exciting one — Aaron Pauley, the band’s vocalist/bassist, is preparing to welcome a new member to his family.

Pauley shared the update via social media earlier today (May 6th), explaining:

“Hey all, Aaron here. Rather than hit you with some generic corporate speak, I just wanted to take a second and fill everyone in.

Some of you may already know or have seen my announcement, but my wife and I are expecting our first child, a baby girl! Although Of Mice & Men was scheduled to perform at all Vans Warped Tour dates, we’ll be unable to perform at the Washington D.C. date as it coincides with the due date.

I thank you all for your understanding and look forward to seeing you out on the road and at the other Warped dates!”

While fans in DC may be disappointed, the band has made it clear that family comes first. The rest of the Warped Tour anniversary events are still stacked with a lineup built on nostalgia and energy, promising a celebration worthy of the festival’s legacy.

Of Mice & Men continue to support their latest album, Tether, released last year via SharpTone Records.
