share save 171 16 PNC Bank Arts Center & Jones Beach This Summer

Vans Warped Tour hits PNC Banks Arts Center and Nikon At Jones Beach this July. The infamous festival kicked off in Houston, Texas on June 13th and this year marks the nineteenth  anniversary of Warped Tour which was created in 1993 by Kevin Lyman. The festival became sponsored by the  famous skate shoe company in 1995, Vans and it has been a hit ever since. The festival has featured artists such as Paramore, Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, Linkin Park, Blink-182, and more. Vans Warped Tour began by showcasing the best of punk rock music but has recently expanded it’s genres offering music to suit all tastes. Another big change that is upping the ante, parents are now admitted free of charge. Yup, you heard that right 100% free, there’s no catch, no gimmicks, just pure genius. Founder Kevin Lyman sure knows how to make Vans Warped Tour bigger and bigger each year.

This year’s lineup playing at PNC Bank Arts Center and Nikon At Jones Beach features huge bands such as Mayday Parade, The Devil Wears Prada, Born of Osiris, We The Kings, Less than Jake, Bowling for Soup and many more. Expanding the genres it also features performances by alternative indie band Echosmith, and Mod Sun, an up and coming hip-hop artist. Some warped-goers are honestly pissed at the fact that Warped Tour has expanded from its punk rock and ska roots while others are pleased with the expansion.

If you’re looking to attend one of the (literally and figuratively) hottest festivals of the summer then make sure you get tickets for Vans Warped Tour here!
