By now everyone has heard the sad news that after 2018 the Vans Warped Tour will no longer exist, at least in it’s current format of a cross-country tour. This festival is a big part of many peoples lives across the world from its start in 1995 to today. Warped Tour was a special festival that mixed various genres from pop punk and hardcore to hip hop and rap, along with veterans of the scene and newcomers. Many bands received a big push with this tour like Fall Out Boy, Blink 182, Less Than Jake, and even Katy Perry and Eminem.
While we mourn the end of an era; lets look back in awe at the great history of this festival and what Kevin Lyman built to share with all of us. Thank you Kevin for all of the happy memories, and thank you Warped Tour for always being willing to give BareBones a shot!
