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.
