WARPED TOUR 2006
Warped Tour is a touring music and extreme sports
festival. The skateboarding shoe manufacturer Vans has sponsored the tour every
year since 1995 and is often referred to as the Vans Warped Tour.
In recent years, the Warped Tour has featured over
100 bands per show. The bands play for 30 minutes over approximately 10
different stages. The tour started as a punk and ska tour, but has branched out
to include rock, heavy metal, and hip hop.
****
History
The Warped Tour was created in 1994 by Kevin Lyman,
who got the idea while working on skateboarding shows—such as the Vision Skate
Escape and Holiday Havoc—which included music with skateboarding contests. The
Warped name comes from the short-lived Warp Magazine published by Transworld—it
tried to combine surfing, skateboarding, snowboarding, and music into one glossy
package.
In 1998, the tour went international—including
venues in Australia, Japan, Europe, and the United States.
The 1999, the tour started off in New Zealand and
Australia in the New Year. It then started up again in the United States for the
northern hemisphere summer—before ending up in Europe.
As well as music, this tour brings many attractions
including half pipes and ramps for skaters and bikers. The tour also features
many booths creating a flea-market like atmosphere, with a tent from each band
(to sell their own merchandise) along with independent record labels, non-profit
organizations, and sponsors looking to market their products and brands to the
tour's audience.
Sponsors are a vital part of the Vans Warped Tour
as the cash infusion they provide subsidizes many of the tour's
expenses—allowing ticket prices to be kept relatively low when compared to
similar tours.
As one of the most successful North American
concert tours, The Vans Warped Tour continues to prosper—selling over 500,000
tickets a year and out-performing similar tours like the Ozzfest. On top of
selling out venues, a DVD about the Warped Tour experience, Wake Up Screaming,
was created after the 2005 tour. An earlier DVD, Punk Rock Holocaust, a slasher
picture, was filmed principally at the 2003 Warped Tour.
Despite the chaotic atmosphere, the Tour is
actually very well organized by Lyman as Tour Producer--as might be expected
when a large tour involving hundreds of people runs for two months, moving up to
500 miles a night in a large convoy of buses, trucks, and other vehicles.
