The Acoustic Basement is an all-acoustic tour as well as a stage set up at the Warped Tour in the US and UK. On the stage, a group of promising punk bands stripped down to vocals and guitar perform tracks from their solo records. Showcasing their songwriting and more intimate side, singers swoon over rhythmic strumming.

Put on by Brian Marquis, the Tour has been operating since 2012 within indie/folk/punk while channeling the attitude of a suburban basement show. The tour has featured Geoff Rickley from Thursday, Koji, and Anthony Raneri of Bayside along with many others. The relaxing, quieting sound is a welcome break from constant noise of the tour, and a more intimate experience for die-hard fans.
