Los Angeles, CA, March 1, 2018 - The entire lineup for 2018's Vans Warped Tour, presented by Journeys, has been revealed today via a special announcement video, which can be viewed now at VansWarpedTour.com.
It was previously shared that this would be the final cross-country run for the tour, now in its 24th year. On the upcoming shows, founder Kevin Lyman has shared: "I
truly am happy to get the chance to travel around the country one more
time to thank you for your support, and bring you another best day ever."
For its final run, the tour is thrilled to welcome back countless
bands who have rocked Vans Warped Tour over the last 24 years including Reel
Big Fish, Simple Plan, All Time Low, Four Year Strong, 3OH!3, Less Than
Jake, Underoath, We The Kings, The Used, Tonight Alive and more. Adding to this year's lineup are up-and-coming acts such as State Champs, Trash Boat, Don Broco, Grayscale, Waterparks, Real Friends, and Movements.
Also returning this summer are the newly named Mutant Red Dawn and Mutant White Lightning stages, showcasing the best in heavy and hardcore music: Chelsea Grin, MYCHILDREN MY BRIDE, Every Time I Die, Knocked Loose, The Amity Affliction, Ice Nine Kills, etc.
The Vans Warped Tour is the largest traveling music festival in
the United States, and the longest-running touring music festival in
North America. Originally conceived by founder Kevin Lyman in 1995 as an
eclectic alternative rock festival, with a focus on punk rock, over the
years the tour has grown to include a multitude of genres, including
metal, hip hop, reggae, pop and more. It remains one of the best tours
to attend to discover emerging acts, to learn more about wonderful
non-profits and companies who are working to make a positive impact on
the world that surround them, and to meet like-minded friends.
Over the past two decades, Vans Warped Tour has built a legacy as
the must attend summer festival for rock and music lovers alike. Since
its start in 1995 it has provided a platform for established as well as
up-and-coming artists, with past performers including blink182, No Doubt, Sublime, Beck, Katy Perry, NOFX, Limp Bizkit, Black Eyed Peas, Green Day, Eminem, Yellowcard, Bad Religion, and countless others.
In addition, the tour continues to host a wide array of amazing
non-profits and educational workshops for attendees and 2018 will be
launching the FEND Movement (Full Energy, No Drugs) in
partnership with thePreventum Initiative. The FEND Movement empowers
youth to make a stand against opioids. The FEND Movement aims to engage
50,000 young people between March and August 2018, giving them the
chance to earn rewards and prizes as they increase their knowledge and
change their attitudes and behaviors in relation to opioids. Youth can
participate by downloading the Preventum app and on-boarding to the FEND
campaign.
A Voice For The Innocent, American Red Cross, Hope For The Day,
Feed Our Children Now!, Living The Dream Foundation, To Write Love on
Her Arms, and truth will all be involved this summer, just to name a
few. Fans can see their favorite bands as well as become educated on
these causes and how they can help.
"I am very excited about the upcoming year. With it being the
last tour, the non-profit presence will be as big as ever. Groups who
have been out in the past will be coming out in more markets, and
hopefully we will attract new non-profits," comments Sierra Lyman. "With
more non-profits coming out there will be more options for our audience
to hopefully get involved before, during, and after the tour. I am
hoping that this last year encourages non-profits to partner with bands
and for bands to partner with non-profits on their own events and tours
once this summer is over."
The Entertainment Institute will return to the 2018 tour as well,
hosting educational workshops and Q+A's hosted by the industry's most
successful writers, artists, and photographers. More information
regarding the artists conducting workshops will be available in April at

Also joining the tour this year as sponsors are dailyKARMA, Ernie
Ball, Equal Vision Records, Full Sail University, Peta2, MusiCares, PRS
Guitars, Hopeless Records, Viceland, Violent Gentlemen, Hope For The
Day, and more.
"Kevin and the tour have touched so many lives through their commitment to giving back to the community," shares dailyKARMA CEO Patricia Dao. "They've
been doing it long before it was the cool thing to do. Our team is
thrilled that dailyKARMA will be powering Warped Tour's online
fundraising efforts this year."
