Vans Warped Tour hangs up Chuck Taylors, announces final run

Posted By Jerilyn Jordan on Wed, Nov 15, 2017 at 3:40 PM

Punk isn't dead. But music's beloved "Punk Rock Summer Camp," the Vans Warped Tour is admittedly on life-support. Founder and producer Kevin Lyman announced Wednesday afternoon that after 23 years the tour will make its final full run next summer.

FOREVER WARPED :: 2018 will be the final, full cross-country run of the Vans Warped Tour.

Since 1995, the Vans Warped Tour has served as a platform for lesser-known acts to play alongside punk veterans. The festival, notorious for occupying parking lots with little solace from lava-hot asphalt, launched countless careers such as Fallout Boy and My Chemical Romance and even propelled Blink 182 into "classic" territory. It could be argued that Warped Tour was the birthing ground of the emo genre.

Wear your waterproof eyeliner and stock up on angst. Warped Tour rolls through Detroit on July 20, 2018.
