Vans Warped Tour Tickets - Festival History

Vans Warped Tour was established in 1994 by Kevin Lyman. It began as a punk and ska tour, featuring bands like No Doubt, Sublime, and Bad Religion, but gradually began to include bands from different genres. For the most part, it has evolved according to what's currently popular. In 1997, it included Blink-182 and Social Distortion, in 2005, Atreyu, The Academy Is? and similar bands, and more recently, All Time Low, The Devil Wears Prada and Senses Fail. Over the years, it has established a reputation as a summer festival, and many alternative music fans associate summer with Warped Tour. Make sure to get your Warped Tour tickets early, as they have a reputation for selling out.

Vans Warped Tour Tickets - Influence and Controversy

While Warped Tour began as an event that combined music with sports like biking, skating and various other board sports, the focus has somewhat shifted away from the sports portion throughout the years. Today, the majority of attendees show up for the music, as evidenced by the endless number of booths one will find advertising everything from alternative music magazines to music-related charities. The festival has also experienced its fair share of controversy throughout its life span. One of the more infamous themes that appear is the tension between veteran punk bands and younger pop bands. Older bands often accuse these pop bands of being more fashion-oriented than they are music-oriented. For this reason, fights are not uncommon. However, such incidents have become a part of Warped Tour's culture, and the festival has shown resiliency by continuing to chug along in spite of them.
