Props to Kevin Lyman for keeping this tour alive all these years. Warped Tour to me has changed a lot over the years with the decline in punk rock bands and especially extreme sports. Seeing increase in merch booths makes me wonder if the tour is more about making money, but seeing different genres of music added to the bill every year proves that all music deserves a chance on a popular tour. Still the fans are plentiful and just about every single one of them leaves the fest with a sense of contentment from their experience. Having a day dedicated to music and friends still is something I know I look forward to yearly and I honestly hope the Warped Tour continues for another 14 years.
