This is your last call to get tickets to Vans Warped Tour, so don’t miss out.
As the longest continuously traveling music festival in North American history, Vans Warped Tour has brought punk rock, Vans fashion, and extreme sports to fans for more than 2 decades. Founder Kevin Lyman started Warped Tour in 1995 to bring the punk rock community together with a backyard party that everyone could go to. Big-name headliners like NOFX and Bad Religion attracted thousands of attendees and introduced them to fledgling bands, some of which went on to forge their own fame, such as Blink-182, No Doubt, Paramore, Eminem, Kid Rock, Katy Perry, and the Black Eyed Peas. Organizers are driven not by finances, but by a love of the music and desire to help bands connect with their fans. The tour partners with nonprofits to offer perks like backstage passes for donating blood and a skip-the-line option if you bring canned goods to help the hungry. Don’t miss your chance to bang your head and catch a crowd-surfing singer with a ticket to Vans Warped Tour 2018.
