Warped Tour 2012: A Blast From the Past

The arguments made by Warped Tour detractors have been resounding for a number of years now, always boiling down to one main point — “It’s just not as good as it used to be.” This overly-simplistic and cliché idea stems from the fact that musical climates invariably change, and in the eye of the punk enthusiast, always for the worse. Truthfully, when Warped Tour set off on its inaugural run in 1995 with the likes of Sublime, No Doubt, and No Use For a Name, America was well into its post-punk hangover and the tour itself seemed to breathe life back into a sub-culture that desperately needed to feel relevant again. As Warped Tour gained steam and made its way towards the mainstream, the pushback from the original audience felt inevitable.

Regardless of your thoughts on the metalcore, dubstep, or electronica genres that have found their way into the Warped landscape as of late, tour founder Kevin Lyman has expressed continually that the tour itself is about more than clinging to nostalgia or presenting bands that currently closely capture what purists consider true punk. No, the tour is a representation of a sub-culture that thrives off of community, innovative ideas, and expressing its voice, no matter how different those voices may sound. There has become increasingly more for everyone in terms of musical taste at Warped Tour, but the purpose has remained the same.

That being said, it was a pleasant surprise to many when this year’s lineup was announced. Along with the expected bands that define today’s scene, there were a large number of bands who had once ruled the roost of the tour returning for another run. Bands like Anti-Flag and Rise Against would be sharing the main stage with the likes of Miss May I and Falling In Reverse, creating one of the most intriguing and unpredictable lineups in recent memory. With that in mind, PopMatters has decided to take a closer look at a few of the bands returning to this year’s tour that have had a significant influence on the current Warped Tour scene.

When Yellowcard played their first Warped Tour in 2002, they were on the brink of crafting one of the all time great summer anthems in Ocean Avenue . By their 2004 run, they were on top of the pop-punk world thanks to increasing MTV and radio airplay, opening the floodgates for the likes of Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, Panic! at the Disco, and more to invade the mainstream. As unlikely as it may have seemed that the band would rebound from their descent from the spotlight and subsequent hiatus in 2008, Yellowcard exploded back onto the scene with last year’s When You’re Through Thinking, Say Yes , reclaiming their stake amongst the pop-punk landscape. Now on the verge of releasing their newest album, Southern Air , the band has returned to the main stage of Warped Tour with a renewed sense of vigor and purpose. The band sounds, and looks, as confident as ever, ripping through what could be considered a greatest hits set list along with their newest, and appropriately titled, track “Always Summer”. Ryan Key’s vocals have never sounded better –throw in LP’s incredible drumming, Sean Mackin’s insane violin skills, and a wild Warped Tour crowd, and Yellowcard appears primed to be scene kings once again.

Taking Back Sunday

It’s odd to think that the majority of Taking Back Sunday’s existence has been without John Nolan and Shaun Cooper, but with so many emotions and memories for so many fans attached to the band’s 2002 debut Tell All Your Friends , it made last year’s original lineup reunion feel as though things were going to pick up right where they left off. Never mind that the band fared quite well in their absence, releasing the underrated Where You Want to Be and the stellar Louder Now before faltering with New Again . Nevertheless, the band’s stint on Warped Tour this summer has felt as much like a high school reunion as anything else, offering fans both old and new the chance to relive performances of songs like “Cute Without the E (Cut From the Team)” and “Timberwolves at New Jersey” while singing along as loudly as they did nearly a decade ago. Nostalgia is a powerful thing, and Taking Back Sunday’s original lineup gracing the main stage at this year’s Warped Tour is exhibit A. Singer Adam Lazzara’s vocals don’t pack the same punch that once did and the band doesn’t necessarily unleash the same amount of force that they used to during some of these older songs, but it’s damn near impossible to not follow up Lazzara’s lines of “your lipstick is calling, don’t bother angel” with “I know exactly what goes on” with just as much gusto as you did while driving home from high school ten years ago.

New Found Glory

While there’s probably no one that would argue that New Found Glory never got the due that they deserved in the limelight, the band has enjoyed a career that has shaped the pop-punk genre as we know it and influenced almost every band to come out of the scene since their inception. They have also developed a rabid fan base that comes out in droves to scream their lungs out to every song, making them one of the most revered acts of the past decade of Warped Tour. This year, the band’s colorful set was topped off with matching basketball uniforms worn by the band, who ripped through the likes of staple tracks such as “Hit or Miss”, “All Downhill From Here”, and “My Friends Over You”. It doesn’t matter how many times you’ve heard these songs — when Jordan Pundik takes the mic and leans toward the crowd before the band rips into the first song, you’re reminded how timeless New Found Glory seems to be. In a scene where bands come a dime a dozen and rarely connect outside of a narrow audience, New Found Glory has managed to not only bridge the gap between pop-rock and straight punk listeners, but they’ve made a career out of crafting songs that sounds as fresh and memorable today as they did ten years ago. Literally every pop-punk band that struck gold in the 2000’s owes credit to New Found Glory.

Every Time I Die

Every Time I Die front man Keith Buckley is one of the most captivating performers you’ll find. Buckley’s voice demands your attention in a way many have tried to mimic, but to little avail. The first time I heard the band was several years back at Warped Tour, when I heard a scream so piercing and raw that I felt my body being pulled toward the stage where the band was playing. The band’s music was years ahead of the curve, influencing the current influx of metalcore bands, many of whom play a shallow rendition of Every Time I Die’s complex guitar riffs and unrelenting breakdowns. The band’s set is created to be a party of epic proportions, giving onlookers little chance to catch their breath. Newer tracks like “Underwater Bimbos from Outer Space” mesh well with earlier trashers such as “Bored Stiff”, “Floater”, and “We’rewolf” as the band wastes no time getting down to business. Buckley’s crushing vocals, made even more poignant by his razor sharp lyrical abilities, coupled with the band’s southern metal/hardcore blend have created some of the most memorable Warped Tour performances of the past decade. Fortunately, as evidenced by this year’s Ex Lives , Every Time I Die isn’t ready to pass the torch to the current wave of scene-core bands just yet. One can only hope the party will continue for another ten years.

All 25 Warped Tour Lineups, Ranked

Warped Tour is one of the biggest names in the concert canon. Those who haven't gone want to and those who have gone wait for the day they can go again. For a majority of its run, it was the largest traveling music festival in the United States. A number of past Warped Tour lineups have been impressive, but which year was the best? Help decide below! 

Starting as an eclectic alternative rock festival in 1995 and gradually morphing into a punk rock festival by the next year, the tour gained momentum when Vans, the wildly popular shoe manufacturer, was signed on as the tour's main sponsor in 1996. As Warped Tour became increasingly popular with each passing year, more sponsors signed on, slowly growing the tour's scope of influence. Sadly, 2018 proved to be the final year of the famous tour as announced by Warped Tour's founder, Kevin Lyman. 

You'll find every Warped Tour lineup here! Vote below on the best Warped Tour lineups, keeping in mind factors like the bands performing, production value, and overall spectacle.

Goodbye, Warped Tour: 21 Bands Relive Their Favorite Festival Memories in Their Own Words

New Found Glory, Yellowcard, Senses Fail and more look back on the annual cross-country trek.

By Taylor Weatherby

Taylor Weatherby

For 24 summers, the Vans Warped Tour — the traveling alternative music festival beloved by fans and artists alike for its summer-camp atmosphere — has crossed the country and created a hallowed ground for punk, metalcore, ska and everything loud.

Every year since 1995, with around 70 bands and about 40 locations to hit in a matter of weeks, Warped has allowed hundreds of thousands of fans to be themselves, meet their idols and mosh together under the hot sun — all in the name of the of the music they love. In addition to attracting the biggest names in punk and alternative music as headlines, Warped Tour has also played an integral part in breaking young bands who would become staples in the scene, including New Found Glory , Senses Fail and Yellowcard .

As the Warped Tour prepares for its final show in West Palm Beach on Aug. 5, Billboard asked festival veterans and newbies alike to bid the tour adieu by looking back on their favorite memories and sharing what the festival has meant to them.

Trending on Billboard

NEW FOUND GLORY

Cyrus Bolooki (drums): This year will mark the 12th year that I’ve played Warped Tour, and my 14th year attending as a fan. Whether it was our first Warped Tour on the local stage in Pompano Beach, Florida, in 1999, the first time we played a main stage in 2001, or our first time playing the full tour in 2002, I will never forget things like being able to meet and hang out with bands I loved like MxPx, Less Than Jake, Rancid, NOFX, Bad Religion, and Reel Big Fish. I’ll also never forget the random times that I actually got to fill in on drums for bands on Warped, starting in 2002 when I filled in for Good Charlotte for a few shows. I kept a bunch of the daily schedules throughout the years, because it’s awesome to grab one and glance over it, just to remind myself of how many cool bands were on the tour at the same time as us. [I’ve kept] all of the Warped backstage laminates. In recent years, they started including pictures of the passholder on the back of the laminate, so it’s funny for me to go back and see how I’ve changed. 

The most important thing about Warped is the sense of community there is backstage throughout the tour. No one is allowed to put themselves above others on the tour. Everyone comes together each day to try and put on the best festival they can for all the attendees. There really is a family vibe that goes on every summer, no matter what the lineup looks like that year. We met so many of our idols and bands we looked up to on that tour and became friends with a lot of them, mainly because of how down to earth everyone is — and has to be. [Warped Tour founder] Kevin Lyman really did a great job of establishing that from the beginning, with no tolerance for any behavior that makes one band seem bigger or more powerful than any others on the tour. To me, Warped Tour was definitely punk-rock summer camp — and a huge part of how New Found Glory got to where we are today.

THE INTERRUPTERS

Aimee Interrupter (vocals): Between the four of us, it would be hard to count how many times we went to the Warped Tour growing up. We were so inspired by all of the punk-rock bands that would go out on the tour every year that it’s safe to say there would be no Interrupters if there was no Warped Tour. 

Warped Tour can make or break an artist. After we did the whole thing in 2016, I felt like we could do anything. You find out your set time the morning of, you have to constantly be on your toes, there is dramatic weather conditions you need to adapt to — it really made us a lot stronger as a band. 

At the Columbia, Maryland show in 2016, Kevin Lyman asked us to play at the nightly BBQ after the show. We ended up learning a bunch of punk rock covers and had members of all the other bands come up, sing, and play karaoke-style. The whole night ended with us playing “Bro Hymn” by Pennywise, and Kevin Lyman was crowd surfing and hanging from the rafters of the place. It was wild! We just feel lucky to be invited on to a tour that has played such a vital role in the music that shaped us. There’s no tour harder, but there’s no tour better. Warped Tour’s legacy will live on forever.

BOWLING FOR SOUP

Jaret Reddick (vocals/guitar): We have always been hustlers, but Warped makes you hustle. We’ve done a lot — we did almost all of [the shows] in 2003 and 2004, then we have been back every few years. The biggest change is that it all started with punk-rock icons like Bad Religion and Pennywise, then Fall Out Boy and My Chemical romance blew up. In 2010 it was almost all nu-metal. It has changed a lot over the years and almost come full circle in my experience. I also learned that staying up until 9 a.m. drinking isn’t the smartest thing to do when your time slot changes daily! 

Pat Kirch (drums): Warped Tour feels like you’re in Disneyland, but for bands. As a band, it’s an opportunity to play in front of so many people, and those kinds of opportunities just don’t exist outside of this. As a fan, it’s a place to learn about new bands you’ve never heard of and see so many of your favorite bands in one show. The first time we played Warped was in 2008. That will always stick out to me, going from being a kid in the audience to then only four or five years later playing it. I was only 17 when we first played Warped Tour, and I was on the same stage as Katy Perry. It just felt like my dreams coming true.

[Warped Tour] means having a chance, you know? Kevin has given just so many bands an honest chance at trying to be heard by people, and it really built something great for us. Now I have a life where music is my career and the only thing I’ve done for the past decade, and I think a large part of that is because of this tour.

WE THE KINGS

Travis Clark (vocals/guitars/keyboards): I snuck into my first one. I didn’t have enough money to get in, so I made a fake tour pass at my middle school and laminated it with a lanyard and snuck right pass security. I don’t recommend people do that, but I got on my cell phone and I was like, “The speakers need to be on stage. The speakers need to be on stage!” I walked right past security with this fake laminate dangling from my pocket and I got to see all my favorite bands.

Coley O’Toole (keyboards/guitar): In 2008 I watched Kevin Lyman himself help people sneak over the fence. It was the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen.

Clark: When he asked us to join the tour, I felt like I just had this monkey on my back. So I talked to him and was like, “I think that you should know that I snuck into my very first Warped Tour,” and he thought it was amazing. I was like, “I think I owe you 34 dollars or something,” and he was just like, “That’s the best story ever!”

Clark: Do you remember the year that Paramore came? They had come up from Mexico and had this hot sauce. Bands had to sign a waiver for this hot sauce. People were taking the end of a toothpick and just dabbing it very lightly and putting it on their tongue and dying. And this band from Mexico was like, “We are Mexican, we can handle this.” This band chugged it and…

O’Toole: Pardon my French, but if you’ve ever seen anyone shit and puke at the same time, it’s quite a mess. I have it on VHS — I was VHSing the whole thing with one of those big camcorders.

Clark: [ Laughs ] That tells you how long We The Kings has been around. But we saw that and we were just like “This is crazy.” And it wasn’t any special night, it was just another night at Warped Tour.

O’Toole: Every night, you never know what you’re going to get. It’s a crapshoot.

SILVERSTEIN

Josh Bradford (guitar): Warped Tour definitely expanded my horizons. As a young concert-goer, this is maybe one of the first concerts you’ve been to — it just gives you a real taste of the sides [of life] that are out there, and I think it’s inspiring to see people being brave enough to live whatever their truth is. Tattoos, piercings, colored hair. You just get introduced to a lot of alternative lifestyles. 

They had this tour water — it looks like a can of Monster Energy but it’s just canned water. In the earlier years, they did a specific branded can for each year, so it was like “Warped Tour 2005” and it would have a cool graphic and a little story. I’ve collected those over the years, so I have one of those from every year. And when they stopped doing that and just started doing generic branded tour water, I still kept one from every year and just wrote the date on the bottom. With Warped Tour going away I don’t know how often I will get the opportunity to drink water from a can — one thing I’m going to strangely miss. 

Cassadee Pope (vocals/guitar): Warped Tour means hard work to me. You really have to love what you do to get through Warped. It’s not easy, and if you’re not careful, you could run out of steam real quick. It really puts you through tour boot camp. It also gives you a good look at how hard the crew members work, day in and day out. Everyone’s parked in the same lot, so you see merch people, guitar techs, drum techs lugging gear from one side of the tour to the complete opposite. It makes you appreciate what keeps the whole thing running. Everyone’s on the same playing field — everyone has to wait in the catering line, you’ve gotta wait your turn to shower. It’s a very humbling experience that I’m so grateful I got to have. 

I also learned how important connecting with your fans is on Warped. Those were some of the best signings because those fans are truly dedicated. They stand out in the blistering sun to see their favorite bands play. And they don’t just stand around — they rock out.

SENSES FAIL

Buddy Nielsen (vocals): Warped Tour is my childhood and my adulthood. It’s a coming of age. I met my wife on it, so it has been a really integral part of my life. Our daughter’s first time watching me play was at Warped Tour in Philly a couple weeks ago. She’s 14 months old, so she’s never been able to stay up late enough.

Senses Fail is in a bunch of weird Warped Tour time capsules — one of them is buried at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame that’s going to be opened in 2025, I think. We owe a lot to Kevin and to all the fans who have come out. It’s sort of the end of a generation. It’s cool to be a part of. I wanted to be a part of the last one.

TONIGHT ALIVE

Jenna McDougall (vocals): Warped was like the gateway to a lot of other opportunities for us. I have always described it as an incubator, because for a band like us, we started on the Kevin Says stage — which actually doesn’t exist anymore — but that stage was the upcoming “heavens giving us a chance” stage. We’ve played the main stage for two years now, so it’s the type of tour that can take you from a teenage rookie to a world-renowned internationally touring professional performer.

Whoever we met and toured with on Warped Tour that summer, we would often go out with the next fall or the next spring. This year Simple Plan is on the tour, and it’s not the first time that we’ve toured together. They’re really beautiful people, and it’s just this really amazing experience to ride the same wavelength as the people who’ve influenced your musical career. We used to watch Simple Plan DVDs when we had band practice when I was 15 years old. These bands seeped into our bloodstreams, and now we are out here touring with them. We’re still on completely different levels, but it is cool to be on the same lineup, eat together, and sit out on the back of the trailers every night.

It’s almost like being back in high school — the difference is that everyone’s got the same goal. Everyone here has the same interest, everyone here is at some level able to relate to being an outcast, a rebel, and a black sheep — but put rebels, outcasts and black sheep all in the same place and it’s a really interesting energy.

Rob Damiani (vocals): Being from England, we had never been to Warped Tour. But from watching videos of it as kids and hearing about legendary bands doing it, we very much felt a part of it despite being so far away. As soon as we started the band, this was the tour we wanted to do. It’s just been the most magical few weeks, and the best way to spend the summer.

There’s a lot of party bands on Warped Tour. The band Issues, they’ve got the reputation of having the best party bus. They’ve got these lights in their bus where it’s just normal, ambient yellow lighting, then there’s one button you press and it turns neon blue. You can all just be chilling, feeling tired, and then you press this one button and the blue lights come on and the music starts. There’s been a few nights where we just had the bus jumping. The suspension is probably fucked by now, but it’s a lot of fun. 

It all just reconfirmed our love of just going hard at shows. That energy that comes from the music that we grew up on, that is what creates an awesome live show for me. Seeing that everywhere on Warped Tour kind of gives me faith in what we do.

Tyler Carter (vocals): I had only attended one Warped as a fan prior to playing — I could never afford it growing up. But I have played it five times including this year. I’ve seen the tour fluctuate, but I’ve definitely seen some of the most magical moments in the tour’s history, including a surprise performance with Linkin Park that I was blessed with the opportunity of joining on stage. Warped has given us opportunities of growth that I don’t think anyone outside of this world could understand. There aren’t really any other festival-style tours out there aside from this that would go extensively around the country. I also have had very many important life experiences out here. I found myself several times. 

ALL TIME LOW

Alex Gaskarth (vocals/guitar): There have been a lot of bands who came up on the Warped Tour that tried to distance themselves from it for whatever reason, and we never looked at it that way. It’s something that we’ve always and respected and cherished just because it was a staple in the punk and alternative world. Warped Tour was such a big part of our band coming up — it really taught us a lot about how to be on the road and coexist with other bands, how to carry ourselves and put on a great show learning from all the other bands that were veterans there.

Warped Tour brings out the craziness a little bit. It inspires us to capture that energy and take that with us on the road whenever we’re separate of Warped Tour. And I think that’s something we’ve maintained from the first time we did it. The crowds, the energy, the moments we’re creating here — we need to translate that live everywhere else. There’s no excuse. Warped is a reminder that the energy never dies.

Cody Carson (vocals/piano/guitar): In school there wasn’t really a clique that I fell into. I was never really a cool kid, I felt like an outcast. This is where all the outcasts go to feel at home. Everyone’s a weirdo, everyone’s having a good time, and that’s how so many friendships form from shows. Everyone is so similar because obviously they have the thing in common: They love music. 

The first mosh pit I was ever in was at Warped Tour. My guitarist, Dan, we went together when we were in high school. I think it was during Avenged Sevenfold’s song “Chapter Four” — he just looks at me, grins, and pushes me in, and I was like “Alright, whatever!” There was guy in there with a lightsaber, not even kidding.

In 2004 or 2005, when Fall Out Boy was playing, I didn’t have any money for merch, so I brought a white T-shirt and a sharpie and I wrote “FOB” on it in my terrible handwriting. I brought it up to them and they signed it. I was very thankful and grateful that they were willing to sign my shirt, I still have it. They didn’t really say much about it, but they signed it and I kept it. It’s cool to look back at that and be like, “I was the kid in that line, and now these kids are in line for us.”

STATE CHAMPS

Derek DiScanio (vocals): As a fan in 2005 I had no idea who the band The Starting Line was, but they eventually became one of my favorite bands of all time [because of Warped Tour]. They were the last band I saw, and I rolled up to their last song, and I’ll just never forget it. It was the “Best of Me” and it just kind of implanted in me that this  was Warped Tour — I love this band, and I need to know everything about them and everything about this scene.

The small bands look up to larger bands, but those larger bands will do everything they can to help the smaller ones. Everyone is here for the right reasons. Simple Plan, who I have loved forever, on the first day of the tour [this year] came right up to us saying, “Hey, we love your band, will you guys come on stage and sing with us tomorrow?” So now I’m singing “I’m Just A Kid” with Simple Plan during shows, and I’m like a kid in a candy store up there. There is no room for egos on this tour, and that’s why it’s going to be sad to see it go. 

REAL FRIENDS

Dan Lambton (vocals):  The first year we played, Motion City Soundtrack also played, and I remember I was waiting to watch them on the stage, and Jesse the keyboard player was like, “Do you guys wanna come up here, like have a beer, come chill with us?” And I was like “Whoa, damn. Okay sure.” I think a lot of it is about community, because it’s one of the places you can see a lot of these bands together. Whether or not there are cliques or people that don’t like each other, everyone’s still under one roof with one common goal — just get out there and play and hopefully have a good time. That’s really all it’s about.

TAKING BACK SUNDAY

Shaun Cooper (bass): I attended in 1995 as a fan. My old band Straylight Run played two weeks in 2007. Taking Back Sunday played the whole thing in 2012. We played our final Warped show in Ventura, California, a few weeks ago. Warped Tour offered us an opportunity to play in front of tens of thousands of people every day. Early, on we had to prove the hype behind our band was real. In 2012 we got to remind people who we are. We credit the tour with the resurgence our band has been enjoying to this very day. It means the world to us.

[My favorite memory is] hanging out with Bad Religion, specifically Brian Baker, in 2007. He was very kind when he didn’t have to be. We were a little Long Island piano-rock band. and he was a punk rock legend. He offered advice and great conversation simply because our busses were parked near each other.

Ryan Key (vocals/guitar): So much of Yellowcard’s success was due to the support we received from Kevin Lyman and the tour. If he believes in you, he really gets behind you and provides you with this incredible platform to play your music for thousands of people everyday, summer after summer. I truly believe that Warped Tour will be connected to everything I do as a musician going forward on my own because it was such an integral part of my development as an artist.   In 2004, I became an honorary member of Me First and the Gimme Gimmes. Their guitarist, Chris Shiflet, had to leave the tour for a few days to tend to Foo Fighters duties, so they gathered up friends on the tour to fill in on different songs. Being in a band made up of some of my childhood musical heroes and sharing the stage with them playing guitar was just insane. I still have my official Gimmes Hawaiian shirt.

MAYDAY PARADE

Jeremy Lenzo (bass/vocals): One memory that stands out was going to my first Warped Tour as a fan and seeing Davey Havok from AFI walk out into the middle of the crowd on top of people’s hands holding him up. He made it look so easy and never stopped singing — lots of respect to him. Everyone is equal on Warped Tour. It doesn’t matter how old your band is, or how popular, we are all in the same boat out here. And most of the intimidating bands are actually softies.

Warped Tour is something that we have always loved playing, and I honestly don’t know if we would have had the same success without Warped Tour. Selling CDs in line back in 2005 helped kickstart our career. We owe so much to the Warped Tour and everyone involved. We are very sad to see it go, and grateful that we were asked to play the last one.

Sean Foreman: The first time I ever went, we played. They just threw us on a stage because we were kind of bubbling in Denver, and they took a recommendation from a radio station. It’s the lifeblood of our career. I literally have scars on my body — I have a gash on my leg from falling on a drum riser. But I look down fondly at that scar because it’s the hard work that we’ve put in and everyone puts in here.

Nat Motte: It’s really been an amazing tour because it really breaks down the walls between fans and bands, literally. It’s an incredible opportunity for us to see who’s allowing us to do what we want to do. Our music has always been geared and conducive to rocking a party, and I think it’s great to be able to do that out here and see a bunch of smiling faces. 

Foreman: There was one special [show] for us, just because it was pretty surreal — when we toured that first full time, Katy Perry was on the same stage as us. She dove off the stage when we were playing “Don’t Trust Me” and got carried through the crowd. 

Motte: I think a bunch of teenagers got handfuls of something that they shouldn’t.

Foreman: I don’t think she stage dove after that again.

MOTIONLESS IN WHITE

Chris Cerulli (vocals/keyboards/guitar): Warped Tour has always been known for being a tour that has had a wide array of genres, but as the years have gone on, the heavier music has gotten even heavier, and there’s a lot more dance and pop and hip-hop now than I ever remember there being. I like that there’s no fear of taking risks and putting bands out here. Warped Tour has always been a place that we can feel accepted and call home for an entire summer. Warped Tour represents an open arms, open-mind mentality, and I have always felt welcomed into this world. Getting to see that there are so many like-minded people made me feel a lot more comfortable and confident in with myself.    

We’ve played about nine different Warped Tours in 13 years, and every year we’ve played in our hometown of Scranton, Pennsylvania. We just played it for the last time two days ago and got to say goodbye to Warped Tour in our hometown, where we got our start. We played our song that is dedicated to our area last, to all these hometown fans — that was probably one of the most powerful experiences of my entire life.

THE STORY UNTOLD

Jessy Bergy (lead guitar): I’ve become a better person in general just because the platform it gives you. You can be anywhere in the world and have the chance to play on stage, and you get to be yourself. The best thing I learned through Warped Tour was how to be myself. Going out there and sticking to your guns. You can be anyone and still have a chance to play and express yourself. So thank you, Kevin Lyman, for this. This is one of the best things in the world.

An Oral History of the Warped Tour

The hard-partying music festival holds its last Denver show this month.

The Local newsletter is your free, daily guide to life in Colorado. For locals, by locals. Sign up today!

In August 1995, a traveling alt-rock music festival called the Warped Tour played at the University of Colorado’s Franklin Field in Boulder—the tour’s second show. Over the next 23 years, it helped launch the careers of big names like Eminem and Paramore, plus hundreds of less-famous talents. These days, the Warped Tour is best known as an epic musical carnival filled with nearly as much debauchery as music. Jon Shockness, of the Denver band Air Dubai, compares it to a never-ending summer block party set to ear-drum-damaging decibels. Unfortunately for the festival’s fans, the party is over: 2018 will be the Warped Tour’s final encore. In advance of its last Denver stop this month, we asked bands and promoters to recall the best, and worst, of Warped.

“Bill Bass was the promoter with [the late] Barry Fey. They were so busy with other shows they assigned an intern to run the Warped Tour. About an hour before, we realized they had no concessions. We bought two Weber barbecue grills and $1 sodas and hot dogs at the supermarket. Barry called and yelled at us because the show was a piece of crap and he lost money. All I could think was, We made $500 selling hot dogs.” – Kevin Lyman , Warped Tour founder

“Warped Tour isn’t glamorous. Katy Perry’s going in a port-a-potty like everyone else. Toward the end of the tour, she had a number one song. She threw a crazy party in a hotel room in Portland. She was dragging us across the floor of a booze-stained hotel room. It was a rock ‘n’ roll moment.

When we did the whole tour for the first time [in 2008], we shared a bus with another band and two sponsors. This was in the emo era of music—off-center, straight, asymmetrical haircuts were in vogue. I could count the seconds until the bus was going to short out because the bands were flat-ironing their hair. The bus would just power down and go bzzzzsh. It was like clockwork.” – Nathaniel Motte of Boulder electronic duo 3OH!3, which played the entire tour three times

“Playing the show is 35 minutes of the day, and you’re there for 24 hours. My fun didn’t start till 5 or 6 at night. I got the word ‘f—’ tattooed on my back one year; I tattooed ‘f—’ on somebody else’s back.

We rode in inflatable rafts that went out into the crowd every day. Sometimes the rafts reached another stage. I’d have to grab a mic and run back to the [original] stage.” – David Schmitt of Breathe Carolina, a Denver-born EDM band that played the Warped Tour four times

“Some of [the Warped Tour’s stops] are isolated. One time, I did not want to use the port-a-potty, so I walked like five miles to find an office building in the middle of nowhere. Awesome tour. Horrible bathrooms.

Once the doors would close, the barbecue grills would light up. The parties were awesome.” – Jon Shockness , whose band Air Dubai played Warped in 2009 and 2014

75 Warped Tour acts that made the tour legendary

• Published: Jul. 18, 2018, 7:05 a.m.
• Anne Nickoloff and Troy Smith, Cleveland.com

Bryan Bedder

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Over 20 years, countless bands have played parking lots to amphitheaters on the Vans Warped Tour.

For much of that time, Warped has carried the torch for traveling rock festivals. Though, all good things must come to an end.

In honor of this year being the final for the Warped Tour, we look at the 75 acts that made it so hard to say goodbye.

Kevin Winter

1. Paramore

Paramore is a Warped Tour success story. The band started at the small female-fronted Shiragirl stage in 2005 with its first-ever tour and grew to become one of the biggest headliners in its subsequent five Warped Tour performances.

Paramore’s sound has undoubtedly changed over the years, but some of its most iconic releases (2005’s “All We Know Is Falling,” 2007’s “Riot!” and 2009’s “Brand New Eyes”) all arrive during the band’s punky Warped Tour years.

Johanna Leguerre

2. Simple Plan

Simple Plan has played Warped Tour a dozen times, making the trek an essential part of the Canadian band's career, from its rise in the early 2000s to its recent resurgence.

Jason Merritt

3. Blink-182

There is no band more responsible for the popularity of the music featured year after year on the Warped Tour than Blink-182. The band only played the tour four times, but you could find copycat on the bill every year that followed.

Combining elements of skate punk, ska, hardcore and punk, NOFX has been one of the steadiest presences on Warped going all the way back to its early years. The band has served as a must-see on the tour seven times.

5. New Found Glory

What would a summertime party be in the 2000s without some New Found Glory? The band’s fun pop-punk songs and exuberance earned it multiple headlining spots on Warped Tour.

6. Less Than Jake

Although Less Than Jake has performed at Warped Tour 10 times, nothing can tire out the ska-punk band. With colorful outfits, inflatable balls and boundless energy, Less Than Jake has always had a ton of fun on the summer tour.

Atilla Kisbenedek

Sum 41 has a unique Warped Tour. At its peak, the band was one of the most popular acts on the tour. Then things fell apart. But Sum 41's comeback has been staged on the tour the past few years, which has been great to see.

Marsaili McGrath

8. Motion City Soundtrack

Half of Motion City Soundtrack’s lifespan as a band existed in Warped Tour. The band was around for about 20 years and it played the tour for 10 of them, becoming a staple on the lineup.

Mauricio Santana

9. Bad Religion

As pioneers of the pop punk genre, it was essential to have Bad Religion as part of Warped. And the band delivered, performing six times, including two spots ni during important late 1990s runs.

Tina Fineberg

10. Yellowcard

When it comes to stage acrobatics, few Warped Tour bands could beat Yellowcard. Every show, audiences knew to wait for violinist Sean Mackin’s backflips.

Laura Roberts

11. All Time Low

All Time Low burst onto the Warped Tour scene in 2007, but quickly earned fans around the country with its fresh pop-punk sound. The newcomer quickly became a staple for Warped Tour, going on to perform five different fests.

12. Pennywise

Pennywise joined punk acts of Green Day, Rancid, Bad Religion and Blink-182 in gaining mainstream success during the 1990s. Pennywise spread that out over nine warped tours, more than any of those aforementioned acts.

13. Deftones

Deftones were an important addition during the Warped Tour's early run, offering up another name act as the tour was just beginning to take off.

John Davisson

14. Reel Big Fish

It’s hard not to dance at a Reel Big Fish show. The ska-punk band’s infectious, horn-driven sound fits right in with Warped Tour’s punky roots.

It's okay if you've never heard of CIV. Just know they've influenced a ton of punk acts and played Warped three of its first five years.

16. Bowling For Soup

Angsty kids had a soundtrack with Bowling For Soup in the 1990s. Songs like “1985,” “High School Never Ends” and “Girl All The Bad Guys Want” are humorous reminders of the rebellious days of ‘90s kids. The band has continued to play Warped Tour past its heyday, performing throwback tunes for eager fans.

17. Face to Face

Another early Warped pioneer, Face to Face played two of the first three years of the festival. And the California punk band was a solid draw during that time thanks to its hit "Disconnected."

Imeh Akpanudosen

18. Anti-Flag

Anti-Flag has been one of the steadiest acts on Warped during the 21st century, playing the tour no less than 10 times and giving the tour a political charge.

Robb D. Cohen

19. Silverstein

Silversten were a product (influence wise) of several popular Warped acts of the 90s. That made the Canadian post-hardcore outfit a force on the tour nine times, from 2004 to this farewell trip.

20. Katy Perry

Katy Perry played Warped Tour just one year -- 2008. But she made quite the impact. With her single "I Kissed a Girl" No. 1 on the charts, Perry routinely drew the biggest crowds. Another fact: She was dating Gym Class Heroes frontman Travis McCoy at the time and he would carry her out on stage.

Mark Metcalfe

21. Motionless In White

Goth kids can rock, too. And Motionless In White has long catered to the audience members wearing all black on a hot summer day. The gothic metal band has played its heavy, dark music on Warped Tour nine different times.

Noel Vasquez

22. Flogging Molly

Celtic punk band Flogging Molly is one of the biggest leaders of the genre in America. The band played its dancey rock songs to Warped Tour a whopping seven times.

23. The Used

There was a stretch where the emo/screamo sound of The Used was as good a draw as any act on Warped Tour. The band's early albums remain essential parts of canon.

24. The Ataris

The Ataris became the true boys of summer the six times they played Warped Tour. The emo pop band formed in 1996, but continues to tour today (and even played Warped last summer).

25. Green Day

What a treat it was to have Green Day, the band that feels like the godfather of every Warped act, on the tour in 2000.

26. Mayday Parade

Emo rock band Mayday Parade are on Warped Tour’s lineup again for 2018, and it’ll be the seventh time it has played the fest. Fans always eagerly await the band’s best-known hits like “Jamie All Over,” “Miserable At Best” and “Terrible Things.”

From the late 1990s to early 2000s, MxPx spent every other year on the Warped Tour, making itself at home and adding to the tour's skate-punk vibe.

28. Avenged Sevenfold

As Avenged Sevenfold got bigger and bigger in the early 2000s, Warped Tour became the place where fans could enjoy the act in a live setting.

Charles Sykes

29. Fall Out Boy

Fall Out Boy played Warped Tour twice, in 2004 and 2005, before it grew too large for the fest. The band’s 2005 album “From Under The Cork Tree” started snowballing fame for Fall Out Boy that continues today, creating top hits that have crossed over into mainstream success.

Scott Gries

Before Eminem took the world by storm, he played Warped Tour. Yes, you read that right. The Real Slim Shady drew massive crowds in 1999. He would soon get too big to ever return.

31. Good Charlotte

Brothers Joel and Benji Madden have led Good Charlotte into pop-punk stardom since its formation in 1996. The band only played Warped Tour four times, but often led the fest in high headlining spots.

32. The Mighty Mighty Bosstones

Thanks to bands like The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Warped Tour always had a diverse feel to it. It wasn't just about post-hardcore or pop punk, giving ska rockers the chance to shine as well.

33. Chiodos

Chiodos were one of the defining bands of the pop-screamo subgenre, and it mashed together the energetic, melodic rhythms of emo pop, with vocalist Craig Owens’ hellish screams bringing a heavier element. The result: prime tunes for Warped Tour mosh pits.

Duane Prokop

34. A Day to Remember

Warped Tour can be a rowdy day, and that’s especially true with A Day To Remember. The metalcore band had a way of riling up its audience all five times it played the festival.

35. Dropkick Murphys

Infusing traditional Celtic songs with punk rock, Dropkick Murphys added some flavor to Warped Tour’s lineup the five times it participated.

36. We The Kings

Songs like “Check Yes, Juliet” and “Skyway Avenue” are basically Warped Tour anthems. That’s because We The Kings’ infectious, upbeat energy were a fixture in seven different tours.

Chung Sung-Jun

37. Story of the Year

Story of the Year spent most of its time on Warped Tour in the early 2000s, establishing itself as a star of the lineup. The band had just released its hit songs like “Until The Day I Die,” “Anthem Of Our Dying Day” and “And The Hero Will Drown.”

38. The Maine

The Maine formed in 2007, but its first big step into the alternative rock scene was with the 2008 and 2009 Warped Tours. The band released its first album, “Can’t Stop Won’t Stop” in 2008, and has gone on to release five more successful albums since then.

Kellie Warren

39. The All-American Rejects

Only a handful of Warped Tour acts have been crossover success in the mainstream music world, and The All-American Rejects are one of them. The band’s songs “Dirty Little Secret,” “It Ends Tonight” and “Move Along” all became famous after its time on Warped Tour.

40. Sleeping With Sirens

Kellin Quinn, the singer of Sleeping With Sirens, is one of the most talented voices in emo rock, with soaring vocals and scratchy growls. He debuted on Warped Tour in 2012, just a couple of years after forming Sleeping With Sirens, and played the fest for five years straight until 2016.

Peter Kramer

Anytime Thrice was on Warped Tour, the band was a big draw. It's complex style brought solid musicianship to the tour and allowed fans to watch the evolution of a band that wasn't afraid to switch things up.

42. Taking Back Sunday

When emo music started to rise up in the 2000s, Taking Back Sunday was one of the most popular bands. Songs like “MakeDamnSure,” “Liar” and “Cute Without The ‘E’” helped to define the genre, and also to define Warped Tour’s distinct sound.

43. Sublime

Sublime co-headlined the second Warped Tour, which was the first time the tour went full-on coast to coast. The band quickly earned a reputation for its naughty behavior, but remained a huge draw.

A mainstay int he West Coast punk rock scene of the early 1990s, Fluf supported Warped during two of the the first three years and helped shape the pop-punk sound.

45. Black Veil Brides

Originally, Black Veil Brides rocked out with big hair, black makeup and tight black outfits, bringing a throwback glam metal vibe to metal music. Over the years, the band has toned down its style a bit, but continued to release heavy, dark music that’s a hit at Warped.

46. Every Time I Die

Since the early 2000s, Every Time I Die has been involved in mini Warped Tour shows. But it wasn’t until 2006 that the band took on a full summer of intense concerts. Since then, the band has played Warped Tour regularly, and is currently on the final fest tour.

47. The Starting Line

One of the most beloved pop-punk acts of all time, The Starting Line played Warped four times during the band's peak period.

Barry Brecheisen

L7 gave girl-rock a face during Warped's early years, helping set the stage for future acts like Paramore and New Years Day.

49. Senses Fail

Senses Fail has played Warped Tour six different times, and the lineup was different many of those times. Yet, despite the turbulence in the band, singer Buddy Nielsen always put on a show, leaping around on the stage with endless energy.

50. No Doubt

It can be hard for a tour to get big acts early on. Fortunately, No Doubt hadn't quite blown up when it played the festival. Gwen Stefani and company would return in 2000 for just one show.

51. Pierce The Veil

Over a decade ago, Pierce The Veil burst onto the emo rock scene, and moved its way up the ranks in Warped Tour. The band started off by playing just one date in 2007, then ended up on the fest’s main stage for the full tour in 2012.

52. Sick of It All

Hardcore rock band Sick of It All played Warped early on but didn't forget its roots. The band returned last year for a standout run.

53. My Chemical Romance

Many Warped Tour fans were hoping My Chemical Romance would reunite to play 2018’s festival. Unfortunately the band, which broke up in 2013, isn’t getting back together any time soon. Yet, MCR’s two performances on Warped Tour were impressionable enough to leave fans begging for more.

54. New Year's Day

When it comes to fans, New Years Day beats a lot of other Warped acts. The band’s fans go all-out with a massive crowd wearing mostly black. At Warped, girls and women can also be seen rocking the half-red, half-black hair pattern made famous by singer Ash Costello.

55. Gym Class Heroes

Gym Class Heroes scored a series of hits in the 2000s and played them live at Warped, giving the tour a steady hip-hop presence.

56. Quicksand

Post-hardcore act Quicksand served as one of the standouts on the first Warped Tour. However, the long trek proved too much for the band who wound up breaking up soon after.

57. Falling In Reverse

Bad-boy singer Ronnie Radke has been in the public eye for several run-ins with the law, at one point serving over two years in prison. That was where he started working on Falling In Reverse, a band that’s played Warped Tour a total of six times and has garnered one of the biggest fanbases of modern metalcore music.

58. Alkaline Trio

Stephen Shugerman

59. Something Corporate

Fronted by pianist and singer Andrew McMahon, Something Corporate put out poppy rock songs that pumped up the crowd all three times the band played Warped Tour. The band was only around regularly for six years, until McMahon continued on with his other band Jack’s Mannequin.

60. Andrew W.K.

Andrew W.K. can pretty much play any kind of festival. But when he brings his wacky set to Warped Tour, it's a one of a kind experience.

Rob Grabowski

61. Dillinger Escape Plan

Don't sleep on metal at Warped Tour. Bands like Dillinger Escape plan have brought their complex mathcore to Warped multiple times.

62. No Use For Name

As one of the most seasoned acts on Warped Tour during the 20th century, No Use For a Name transitioned from hardcore punk to a more melodic sound over the years.

As one of the essential punk rock acts of the 1990s, you knew Rancid would make this list. Tim Armstrong and his trademark guitar joined the tour just three times. But each run was memorable.

64. The Vandals

The Vandals are best known as one of the first rock bands to incorporate turntables into its sound. The band was a steady force on Warped Tour during its peak.

65. Bouncing Souls

Bouncing Souls doesn't get enough credit for its influence on various punk genres 1990s. But anyone who saw the band during at least one of its six Warped appearances knows just how good they were.

Roger Kisby

66. Coheed and Cambria

Coheed and Cambria played Warped three times. But each time the band stood out. Coheed's technical musicianship was unlike anything else at Warped but its bouncy collection of hits was enough to draw impressive crowds.

Astrid Stawiarz

67. Plain White T's

Plain White T’s only played Warped Tour twice. However, the band spiced up the loud, punky event with a softer side, with songs like “Hey There Delilah” and “Rhythm Of Love.”

Karl Walter

68. Underoath

Underoath was a huge part of Warped Tour during the mid-2000s. The band returns to say goodbye in 2018.

Matt Winkelmeyer

69. Saves the Day

Saves The Day formed while singer and guitarist Chris Conley was still in high school, but the band’s sound quickly matured in the form of two full-length albums in the late 1990s. The band’s unique hardcore sound propelled them onto Warped Tour three different times in the festival’s history.

Ethan Miller

70. Unwritten Law

Unwritten Law has toured a lot since the early 1990s and the band has managed to make Warped a part of that four times.

71. Glassjaw

Unfortunately, Glassjaw didn't play Warped Tour during its early years. But the band more than made up for it when it finally joined the tour for a raucous showcase, twice in the mid-2000s.

Katie Darby

72. Four Year Strong

Four Year Strong? More like 17 years strong at this point. The post-hardcore band puts out intense, aggressive music that gets mosh pits going at Warped Tour. Four Year Strong has played the festival six times, including this current summer.

73. Neck Deep

Neck Deep has played a huge role in the more recent pop-punk revival, creating popular albums since 2012’s “Rain In July.” It’s brought that refreshed sound to Warped Tour four different times with massive audiences full of fans.

74. Rise Against

No stranger to any kind of rock showcase, Rise Against's brand of melodic hardcore felt at home all four times the band hit the stage at Warped.

75. Bayside

Bayside has a knack for putting out the catchiest punk and emo songs, like “Sick, Sick, Sick” and “Devotion And Desire.” Those songs proved popular with the Warped Tour crowd—Bayside went on Warped Tour four different times, and frontman Anthony Raneri played the fest one additional time as a solo artist.

Punk's not dead? How Vans Warped tour jumped the shark

The festival defined noughties pop-punk and united America’s outcasts – but as it shuts for ever, we ask: did it fail to champion diversity?

T he sun is blazing mercilessly in Columbia, Maryland, on a Sunday in July. It is not yet noon, and the nasal singer of a jet-black metalcore band is crying out: “Will you miss me when I’m gooone?” Already this weekend, I have seen hair-dye jobs in impossibly electric hues of bubblegum pink and highlighter-pen lime. I have seen ripped fishnets and Tim Burton mini-backpacks and earlobes stretched as big as the rims of drinking glasses. I have perused the wares of outfitters called Mall Goth Trash and Sad Boys Club. I can confirm that the campaigns to “Stay Positive and Hail Satan” and ensure that “Ska’s Not Dead!” have endured in some corners of America.

I am on my third consecutive day inside the misfit carnival that is Vans Warped tour, which, after 24 years, finished its final run as a national touring festival last week. While American festivals such as Lollapalooza have long retired their caravans and turned into annual fixed-site weekenders, Warped persevered as a roving punk-themed circus. The brand will probably continue with abbreviated tours, says Kevin Lyman, its founder. An exhibition about Warped’s history will open next year at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio. But it is the end of an era for the generation who invented “mall punk”.

Now 58, Lyman says he felt like an outcast as early as junior high. He was partial to British street punk, reggae and the Clash’s Sandinista! album. Socialising with the band geeks and theatre kids – “You got food thrown at you in school,” he says. “I was always the guy who said, ‘Let’s unite and throw food back.’” After several years working behind the scenes at Lollapalooza, Lyman founded Warped in 1995.

Warped made its name packaging the more brashly commercial strains of pop-punk, emo, hardcore and ska that peaked in the early- to mid-2000s, though the tour has also featured household names including Limp Bizkit and Eminem (and, early on, Katy Perry). It had no identified headliners: the schedule changed daily and was not announced until gates opened. To ensure you would see your favourite band, you simply had to arrive by 11. “No one did things the way I did, and no one has since,” says Lyman. “This was the last festival for the people.”

Lyman sought to “put punk rock in the sunshine”, to escape the violence of clubs, which he thought distracted from the genre’s radical message. But Warped ultimately became a shorthand for an easily digested candy-coated version of rebellion. The spirit of commodified dissent was exemplified by its name – sponsored by Vans shoe company, in a checkerboarded break from punk’s historically anti-capitalist ethic. Warped’s scale meant it dealt bands like gateway drugs, which plenty of young people need. My three days following the tour evoked a complete scene of maladjusted suburban youth: the car park, the mall, the skate park, the mosh pit.

In contrast to its diverse audiences, Warped’s lineups were shockingly male and white and, at times, the tour presented worrying streaks of conservatism – in Maryland, I saw a recruiting tent for the US Marines. Warped came under fire in 2015 for allowing a performance by Front Porch Step after he had been accused of sexual misconduct and preying on young fans. This prompted Paramore’s Hayley Williams, one of Warped tour’s most renowned alumni, to tweet: “What happened to our scene?”

Lyman says: “If I look back at Front Porch Step, probably I made a mistake. With hindsight, I probably wouldn’t have let it happen.” Lyman says he’s open to criticism, though he seems allergic to the way it plays out online. “Maybe that’s why I’m ending it,” he says. “We all used to be a community that figured things out. Now people prejudge so quickly on the internet.”

Only 7% of bands on this year’s touring lineup included women, such as Australia’s Tonight Alive and ska revivalists the Interrupters. The feminist rock band Potty Mouth (incidentally once managed by Warped veterans Good Charlotte) ended up on one Californian date after tweeting about gender disparity on the tour: “We wanted access to that fan base of young girls,” says bassist Ally Einbinder. “For us, it would be breaking into a whole new audience who might not hear of us otherwise.” Lyman mentions that the production crew of Warped tour has been heavily dominated by women, and reasoned that this year’s gender disparity was due in part to the fact that he curated the festival (he still chooses the bands) as “a nostalgia tour”.

Over the years, Warped formed alliances with bands such as Less Than Jake, a Floridian ska-punk troupe who first played the tour in 1996 and have remained fixtures since. The drummer, Vinnie Fiorello, reminisces about performing, in the scrappy early days, on a stage made of plywood and cinder blocks. “Warped was supposed to be a punk rock summer camp,” he says. Less Than Jake embodied that, instigating “maximum fun” and an air of weirdness: regular mayhem at a Less Than Jake Warped set might, for instance, find “a metalhead shooting a toilet-paper gun”.

“We were never, at any point, even remotely in the cool kids’ club of punk rock,” says Fiorello. “But Warped was a common denominator among punk bands, hardcore bands, screamo and metal, ska punk. You had to play Warped tour.” Fiorello, who also co-founded the influential pop-punk and emo label Fueled by Ramen , noted that Warped was a crucial marketing tool: “Warped tour would be a huge chunk of the launch for a record or label or band. It was in the Less Than Jake marketing plan in the 90s, for sure. The end of that truly means the shrinking of some ways to market what’s out there.”

Fellow ska-punk elders Reel Big Fish have also been enmeshed in Warped since 1997. Year after year, they built their audience on the tour, though trumpeter John Christianson was not shy about the price. “There’s a lot of anxiety,” he says. “There’s five bands playing at one time. Five bands playing at one time is cacophony, and that is not any fun for me.”

Chuck Comeau is the drummer of Montreal pop-punks Simple Plan: 11 Warpeds in total. “You had this cultural movement that was happening,” he says of the scene’s 2003 peak. “And Warped had the cultural currency. If you wanted to be part of this scene, if you wanted to be respected, if you wanted to reach the audience, it was a must.”

The music of Warped has not all aged well. In Maryland, surprise guests Good Charlotte led a workmanlike singalong to Girls and Boys, their arguably sexist 2002 single about teenage materialism. Speaking backstage, Buddy Nielsen of the New Jersey post-hardcore band Senses Fail (eight-time Warped veterans, who this year performed a medley of nu-metal covers) cited childhood trauma and a bad relationship with his mother as sources of the toxic masculinity in some of his earliest material. “I don’t necessarily celebrate those songs,” Nielsen says. “I wouldn’t encourage my daughter to listen to music like that.” His self-awareness reflects a broader cultural milieu that has recently been forced to reckon with its ingrained misogyny.

I was watching a formulaic pop-punk band in matching Hawaiian shirts play a side stage when I heard a woman’s demonic roar in the distance and ran towards it. “Where my fucking ladies at?” seethed Lauren Kashan, singer of Baltimore metalcore band Sharptooth. They played Clever Girl, the title track from their 2017 debut, which culminated with a mosh-summoning breakdown and an incendiary refrain: “Dead men tell no tales,” the crowd chanted. “Dead men talk no shit.” This jolt of radical feminism felt shocking in the context of Warped tour. “The world we live in is not a safe place for too many of us,” Kashan shouted from the stage. “So this needs to be.”

Sharptooth’s sets were thrillingly righteous. Kashan issued a call to arms or systemic indictment between every song, attacking street harassment, police brutality and US border policy. She drew attention to the fact that she would be the only woman performing on that stage all day and, before a song called Left for Dead, spoke bluntly about her experiences of sexual violence. “I’ve been raped multiple times,” Kashan told the crowd. “I don’t like talking about it, but if I’m the person with the mic and I can’t talk about my trauma, how is any other survivor supposed to ask for help?”

I watched a pink-haired girl in the eye of the pit scream along with Kashan: “I can’t be silent anymore!” “Sharptooth and [2017 Warped band] War on Woman make me feel so relieved about being into music in this scene,” says Niquey, 20. “Stuff like that needs to be talked about at places like Warped tour because it’s so hypermasculine.” Niquey has come to Warped every year since she was 12 – she had only seen Hannah Montana and Jonas Brothers in concert before that – and said she looked forward to it more than her birthday.

Some have welcomed the demise of Warped and the aggressively male-dominated culture it came to represent. But after witnessing Sharptooth’s set, it occurred to me that it would be a tragedy for Warped tour to simply end, not evolve, at a moment where powerful, wide-reaching platforms are increasingly rare in rock music of any kind. Potty Mouth’s Einbinder agrees: “There is so much potential to make some changes and evolve the whole culture of the festival,” she says. “But so much of that cultural shift would have to come from the top down.”

I felt optimistic watching Doll Skin, a band of women aged 18 to 21 who play pop-punk with riff-heavy nods to classic rock, and strive to be “as raw and feminine and powerful as we can”, according to singer Sydney Dolezal. They played an original song called Punch a Nazi and a cover of Fugazi’s Waiting Room, which stood out as strongly at Warped as the flower crowns in their circle pit.

Multiple times a day, Dolezal says, young girls approach Doll Skin to say they feel inspired by their set, sometimes crying. “If there’s anyone out there who feels like they can’t be in a band – they can,” she says. “It’s attainable. You don’t have to be a super shredder – you can just play guitar. You don’t have to be soloing on drums, you can just play a beat. You don’t have to be doing runs, you can just yell into a microphone.” It’s no stretch to say this was the most punk statement I heard at the 2018 Warped tour.

In Mansfield, Massachusetts, I meet 19-year-old Felice, who wants to see more bands resembling Doll Skin at Warped. “I wish we could see more intersectionality,” she says. “I wish I could hear more queer artists or artists of colour.” Her friend Felisha chimes in: “It’s a prime time to keep going if anything.” But after Doll Skin’s Long Island set, another new fan, Katie, 26, had a firmer suggestion: “Burn it to the ground and start something new.”

A pair of 23-year-old fans on Long Island, Neena and Gabrielle, tells me they had long fantasised about forming bands. Growing up, they were enthralled by fictional all-girl groups such as Josie and the Pussycats. Neena wonders whether she might have taken up drums had she seen more female instrumentalists.

“I’m such an emo kid. You feel like an outcast sometimes,” Gabrielle says. “But when you’re in this setting, you see there are thousands upon thousands of people who are just like you. It’s so comforting.” I mention how the huge number of outsiders does not quite register until you get here, and it makes you realise – Neena finishes my sentence – “how not alone you are”.

The Untold Truth Of Vans Warped Tour

From 1995 to 2019, Vans Warped Tour became the mecca of alternative music. Fans would flock to the traveling festival to see their favorite artists and to discover the next big thing, while musicians would know a spot on this coveted tour could elevate their career. After all, there's no disputing the impact it had in the ascension of the careers of groundbreaking acts like Paramore, My Chemical Romance , and Fall Out Boy .

Founded by Kevin Lyman, Vans Warped Tour is widely associated with the punk rock movement and a strong ethos of the do-it-yourself attitude, being seen as the everyday person's music event. However, in the later years, controversy engulfed the tour. From scene politics to giving a platform to disgraced musicians, there were accusations that it was no longer the same place it was in the beginning. For some, it simply didn't feel like home anymore. As a result, there were mixed feelings when Lyman announced the tour would officially call it a day after its 25-year celebration.

Regardless of the sentiment toward the Vans Warped Tour, no one can deny the importance it played in the music scene throughout its run. It outlasted many of its peers and inspired others to start their own events, too. With that said, let's take a look back at the untold truth of Vans Warped Tour and if it is due to make a comeback.

The founder cut his teeth on Lollapalooza

Anyone who has worked on the live side of the music industry understands it is a demanding and grueling job. Not only is there the physical aspect of setting up the equipment and ensuring everything is in working order before the doors open, but there is also the marketing element and understanding of how to deal with unexpected issues that may arise on the day. Think of it like organizing a big birthday bash, but times the difficulty level by 100.

Kevin Lyman was no rookie when he decided to start his own tour, since he had already spent time working as a stage manager at another famous music festival. "Before Warped I was on three years of Lollapalooza, so [it's been] 26 straight summers out on the road," he told Billboard .

Having experience, Lyman also understood that he needed significant sponsorship to make this dream tour a reality. As revealed by Vans Vice President Steve Van Doren, Lyman approached the sneaker manufacturer for finance, and Vans saw it as a mutually beneficial opportunity to expand its reach throughout North America.

Vans Warped Tour gave a lot of people second chances

When applying for jobs, background checks have become the norm. However, that hasn't stopped people from being prejudiced against for having a criminal or substance abuse history, as research has shown, per Criminology . There's a stigma that sticks with people long afterward and makes it exponentially more difficult for them to find work and rebuild their lives.

Speaking to Loudwire , Kevin Lyman discussed the importance of affording people second chances, explaining how it is something deeply personal to him and his value system. "The majority of my early Warped Tour crew guys all had to spend a little time in jail for stupid decisions," Lyman said. "A lot of them were selling meth or whatever and did their time, and I gave them their second chance. And that built a loyalty, giving a second chance to people."

It is also one of the main reasons Lyman became involved in other organizations and philanthropy projects, such as MusiCares and FEND, which address addiction. He believes a large portion of society is still reluctant to allow others back into the community after they have shown remorse and tried to make amends, so he wanted to do his part in inspiring change.

Why the schedule for the Vans Warped Tour changed daily

Vans Warped Tour would take the acts across the country, performing sweaty day-long sets in numerous cities and states. There were even groups of fans who would follow the tour and try to attend as many shows as possible. To keep the shows fresh and unpredictable, the tour's organizer switched up the order of the lineup on a daily basis.

In an interview with Forbes , Kevin Lyman brought up his past as a stage manager for Lollapalooza and how this influenced his decision with Warped Tour's schedule. He explained how he would notice the same acts performed at the same time every day, and the predictability reflected in the audience attendance, as a majority of the people would only show up when it was time for the headliner to go on stage.

"So I said, if I ever get to do this, I'm going to mix it up," Lyman said. "It just spurred in my mind what I thought I'd do. I'll write the schedule each day. It keeps people engaged — you never knew who you were playing before or after, or what time you were playing. It keeps everyone on their toes." The unpredictability encouraged the audience to hang out for the whole day since they never knew who would be playing and when, while it excited the bands too. As Every Time I Die's ex-vocalist Keith Buckley explained, no one knew when they would be hitting the stage, which provided an element of surprise.

How the BBQ Band concept came to be

With all those bands on the road for Vans Warped Tour, there were bound to be a lot of hungry stomachs after a show. However, the tour figured out a way of solving this problem while also giving a group a unique opportunity every year. In return for working the grill after every show, a musical act would be given a spot on the tour's lineup. Hence the birth of what became known as the "BBQ band."

Kevin Lyman revealed to Vice where the initial idea stemmed from. He explained how punk rockers Lagwagon had their own barbeque after a show, but only bands with laminate passes sourced from Lagwagon themselves could get any. Lyman thought that every group deserved access to this and that it shouldn't be limited to the friends of the band, so he came up with a plan where a single act would be responsible for the barbeque at every stop for everyone.

Explaining what the group would get in return, Lyman said, "Yeah, they get a full set, they sell merchandise, they sell albums, and I pay 'em some money on top."

The time when Deftones set a Porta-Potty on fire

If there isn't an element of danger involved, can it really be considered rock 'n' roll? While no one decided to put their head inside a tiger's mouth or challenge a bear to an exploding barbed wire death match, other outlandish shenanigans took place throughout Vans Warped Tour's history.

Alternative Press interviewed numerous people who participated in the tour, and the stories ranged from a golf cart being wrecked to Sublime's trusty dog biting people. However, it was Kevin Lyman who recollected one of the wildest tour tales.

Lyman explained how he intended to take a few days off in 1997 after the birth of his child, but when he stepped off the plane, he was alerted to the chaos taking place in his absence. "It turned into the 'Lord of the Flies' out there," he said. "Deftones got fireworks and set a portable toilet on fire. My production manager's quick decision was to take the Porta-Potty on a forklift and push it into the river. The city's mayor had been running on this 'clean up the river' platform, and that was on the front page of the newspaper the next morning."

The presence of the controversial anti-abortion clinic

The spirit of punk rock is built on progressive values and fighting against oppressive systems. As a result, many non-profit organizations set up tents to promote their causes at Vans Warped Tour throughout its 25-year run; however, there was one that raised more than a few eyebrows. In 2016, the anti-abortion organization known as Rock for Life became a part of the tour, and it drew ire from many attendees and online commentators. The next year, Rock for Life returned to Warped Tour, again reigniting the debate about the presence of a pro-life organization there.

Speaking to Spin , Kevin Lyman explained how Rock for Life's values didn't necessarily align with his pro-choice stance, but that he included various other NPOs on Warped Tour with differing ideologies so that debate and conversation could take place between people.

He said: "I go to the booth, and I see people talk to them. They're really promoting adoption, and other things besides abortion. I'm adopted. I'm not supporting them, but they can have the spot. They're not hassling people."

13,000 people signed a petition to stop a musician from playing, but he did

In late 2014, disturbing accusations surfaced regarding Jake McElfresh, aka Front Porch Step. According to the allegations, McElfresh had sent inappropriate messages and images to minors. Considering Front Porch Step had performed at the 2014 Vans Warped Tour and was relatively well known within the music scene, the news spread fast and wide among the community.

Over 13,000 individuals signed a change.org petition to not allow Front Porch Step to play at Vans Warped Tour again. However, in 2015, McElfresh was confirmed to appear on the tour. This resulted in backlash from fans and other musicians, who couldn't believe Front Porch Step had been allowed this platform — especially considering how many young fans attended Warped Tour and the harrowing nature of the allegations.

Speaking to Alternative Press , Kevin Lyman stated that McElfresh had not been formally charged with any crime and his appearance was part of a rehabilitation program, based upon discussions with his counselor. In a later 2018 interview , Lyman expressed regret at allowing Front Porch Step to have performed at the 2015 Vans Warped Tour.

The accusation of being a boys' club for the most part

The Vans Warped Tour faced accusations of being a boys' club from certain sections, with  The New York Times citing how only seven percent of the bands listed for the 2018 edition featured female members. Although the tour had shown improvement in its numbers and given more opportunity to women over the years, especially as headliners, there was no disputing that the acts on display were predominantly male throughout the years. Coupled with this was the prevalence of a bro culture that boasted bad behavior. 

The publication spoke to several women and nonbinary artists to get their perspectives of the tour. Each person had their own unique experience, with some stating they hadn't seen misogynistic behavior, while others expressed opposite views.

Five Iron Frenzy's Leanor Ortega Till, for example, explained how there was a need to be cautious with tour buses as an example. "One of the bands we went out with had a little inflatable pool," Till said. "They'd get in their underwear and go out there and hang out. And I knew what they were up to, which was get girls into their underwear to hang out, too."

Kevin Lyman said 2017's Vans Warped Tour was a bad one financially

When Kevin Lyman announced the end of Vans Warped Tour, there was a lot of debate about the real reasons for doing so among fans. One of them was that the tour had stopped making money. However, Lyman dispelled this notion in an interview with "All Punked Up" podcast, revealing that Warped Tour made money — except for one year.

"I had one bad year: 2017," Lyman said. "It was one of those years where everything goes wrong that could possibly go wrong, went wrong in 2017."

While Lyman didn't delve into exactly what his challenges were, the initial announcement of the lineup for the Vans Warped Tour 2017 wasn't warmly received by the fans. There were notable acts such as Anti-Flag, Andy Black, Gwar, and Hawthorne Heights on the bill, but the audience felt it didn't have the star power of the previous year's edition, which had featured the likes of Good Charlotte and New Found Glory. Undoubtedly, the lack of excitement for the artists might have factored into the decision for many fans to give it a skip that year.

The one thing that the Warped Tour never managed to do

From Katy Perry to My Chemical Romance and Blink-182, there was no shortage of world-renowned musicians who performed at Vans Warped Tour. Considering the traveling festival ran for a quarter of a century, there can't be much that it failed to achieve in this time. However, for Kevin Lyman, there is something he wanted to do that he never managed to. When asked by Outburn what that is, he replied: "Have a Ramones reunion."

The seminal New York punk band called it a day in 1996 — a year after the formation of Vans Warped Tour. At that early stage, it might have been difficult for Lyman to attract a band of that caliber to the tour — plus, it would have been mighty costly, since the Ramones were bona fide legends and wouldn't come at a discount price.

Unfortunately, by the time Warped Tour had become a force to be reckoned with in the early 2000s and could probably afford the Blitzkrieg Boppers, most of the members of the Ramones had already died . 

Scene politics contributed to its demise

Music brings people together, but the community also has the potential to divide like no other. Much like with any other fandom on Planet Earth — just ask "Star Wars" fans — there is a lot of politics, elitism, and people disliking each other for random reasons. Heck, even the bands themselves partake in this peculiar behavior, with social media feuds becoming equally the most hilarious and sad things to witness online.

Appearing on Kerrang's "Inside Track" podcast, Kevin Lyman opened up about how scene politics contributed to the demise of Vans Warped Tour. The promoter explained how he would reach out to various groups that he found talented and would offer them a slot on the tour; however, they would spurn his advances, citing how they didn't want to perform alongside X band or be seen as a "Warped-esque" band. They either had preconceived negative notions about other acts on the tour or didn't want to be bracketed with the type of genre artists the tour attracted.

Lyman didn't understand the logic, as most bands wouldn't even know the others and acted based on impressions rather than facts. Plus, he considered this a self-limiting behavior that impacted a band's ability to grow their fanbase and reach different audiences. Consequently, Lyman started to feel a disconnect from the community and the very reason he started the tour in the first place.

Fronzilla wants to bring back the tour

Since Vans Warped Tour hit the stop button in 2019, a massive gap has been left open in the music festival scene. Of course, the COVID-19 pandemic did no favors to live music, and many have pondered if the return of Warped Tour could help bring back the crowds in droves. Appearing on "No Jumper" in 2020, Attila frontman Chris Fronzak explained what Warped Tour meant to bands. "It's not glamorous, but it's an opportunity for bands to play in front of a huge audience that they wouldn't normally have," he said.

Fronzak added that Kevin Lyman offered to sell him Warped Tour in the past, but Fronzak didn't have the funds at the time to strike a deal. When that changed, the musician reached out to Lyman again in 2020.

"He explained to me that for legal reasons, which I can't go into depth, Warped Tour can't come back for at least another three years or so," Fronzak said, "but after that I'm happy to re-open conversation, and hopefully I'm the one that brings it back because I have a really good plan for how to make it sustainable and make Warped Tour even bigger than it's ever been."
