Vans Warped Tour is the longest-running touring music festival in North America. Skateboard-shoe manufacturer Vans became the main sponsor of the tour in 1996.
Warped Tour has historically been a launching pad for up and coming artists. The festival has been attributed to bringing unknown artists like Blink-182, My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, Paramore, MGK, Katy Perry and Yelawolf to the spotlight.
In 2016, Vans Warped Tour held its 10th Feed Our Children NOW push as part of the festival’s charitable work. Over 288,000 pounds of canned goods were collected from Warped fans, enough for 240,000 meals.
