About Vans Warped Tour

The Vans Warped Tour was an American traveling rock music festival founded by music promoter Kevin Lyman and co-founded by Ray Woodbury, debuting in 1995 as a celebration of punk rock, skate culture, and youth rebellion. The tour initially featured approximately 20 bands and nine professional skateboarders and BMX riders, with No Doubt and Sublime among the standout acts. Following the first tour, skateboard shoe manufacturer Vans became the title sponsor in 1996 — after a blizzard prevented a planned meeting with Calvin Klein — and the festival became known as the Vans Warped Tour. Known affectionately as "punk rock summer camp," it became the largest traveling music festival in the United States and the longest-running touring music festival in North America. At its peak the festival featured up to 100 bands performing across multiple stages, drawing over 600,000 fans annually. Genres expanded over the years from ska-punk and skate-punk to pop-punk, metalcore, emo, hardcore, and hip-hop. The festival was instrumental in launching the careers of Blink-182, Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, Paramore, Avenged Sevenfold, Katy Perry, and many others. The final full cross-country tour ran in 2018, with a 25th anniversary edition in 2019. The festival returned in 2025 for its 30th anniversary and has continued touring in 2026.
