Vans Warped Tour Tickets

Beginning in 1994, the Vans Warped Tour was the first of its kind for a traveling music festival. Founder Kevin Lyman had the idea of mixing skateboard and BMX demos with Ska and Punk rock bands. Some of the Vans Warped Tour’s first performers included No Doubt, Deftones and Sublime. With Vans as the tour’s sponsor, the festival was able to continue annually.

Throughout the years, the Vans Warped Tour was able to include booths by independent record labels, entertainment-based magazines including Alternative Press, clothing brands including Vans, and free food samples from companies such as Yoo-Hoo and Kraft Macaroni. By 1999, Vans Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman was able to take the tour abroad to countries including Australia, Japan, Europe and Canada.

The Vans Warped Tour is known for being able to help expose younger punk bands to mainstream audiences. Vans Warped Tour success stories include the bands My Chemical Romance, New Found Glory and Fall Out Boy. The Vans Warped Tour also helps introduce older punk rock acts to younger generations of punk fans including bands such as Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, The Germs, Bad Religion and GBH.

The latest installment of the Vans Warped Tour will run all summer long and bring hundreds of young and old Punk, Emo and Metal acts to cities all across the U.S. Do not miss out on the fun and free stuff when the Vans Warped Tour comes to your town.
