    What is Vans Warped Tour?

    Founded by Kevin Lyman and sponsored by Vans, the Vans Warped Tour was a traveling punk and alternative rock tour that began in 1995 and ended in 2019.

    Over the years, the tour has featured Eminem, Machine Gun Kelly, Ice-T, Katy Perry, Insane Clown Posse, No Doubt, Weezer and Joan Jett and the Blackhearts.

    In celebration of its 25th anniversary in 2019, the festival made three stops in Mountain View, California, Cleveland, Ohio and Atlantic City, New Jersey. The latest tour marked a major reduction in tour stops from 2018, which saw nearly 40 shows across the country.

    The final dates in Mountain View featured punk rock acts The Offspring, Bad Religion and Sum 41. Also featured during the stop were musician Yungblud and hip-hop’s Chali 2NA and Cut Chemist.

    In 2018, founder Kevin Lyman announced that this would be the last year to host so many dates across the country.

    “It is with many mixed emotions that I am here to announce that the final full cross-country run of the Vans Warped Tour will take place in 2018,” Lyman said in a statement on the festival website that year.

    The 2018 festival made stops in California in Pomona, San Diego, Mountain View and Ventura, as well as the East Coast, Midwest and South. It featured electropop act 3OH! 3, pop punk group Good Charlotte and country singer Cassadee Pope.

    In a Kerrang! podcast in 2019, Lyman said, “When I finally started thinking about winding this down after 25 years, it was, ‘I think we’ve lost the sense of community.'”
