TheVans warped tour was created in 1994 by Kevin Lyman. While working on skateboarding shows such as the Vision Skate Escape and Holiday Havoc, he got the idea of mixing music and skateboarding. He thought that it would be an amazing event for people to come and enjoy. The Warped Tour has since become a touring punk music and extreme sports festival.
When it comes to summer punk-rock, the Vans Warped Tour is fun and sun at its best! The 2006 Vans Warped Tour lineup is scheduled to include The Academy Is, AFI, Anti-Flag, Helmet, Joan Jett, Less Than Jake, Motion City Soundtrack, Rise Against, Saves the Day, Senses Fail, Thursday, Underoath, and at least 20 more bands at each stop!

.In 1998, the tour went international—including venues in Australia, Japan, Europe, and the United States. In 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 a half pipe for skaters and bikers, though the focus on extreme sports has declined over the years. The tour also features many booths creating a flea-market like atmosphere, having tents for each of the bands to sell merchandise, independent record labels, magazine publishers, non-profit organizations, . Sponsors are a vital part of the Vans Warped Tour as the revenue they provide subsidizes many of the tour's expenses—allowing ticket prices to be kept relatively low when compared to similar tours. The average ticket price is $25, considerably lower than the average $45 Ozzfest ticket. As one of the most successful North American concert tours, The Vans Warped Tour continues to prosper selling over 500,000 tickets a year. A DVD about the Warped Tour experience, Wake Up Screaming[1], was created after the 2005 tour.
