Vans Warped Tour is happening for the last time this year, and to celebrate that (at least initially, we imagine there'll be more celebrations nearer the time) they've released a little mini-doc/retrospective to celebrate the tour's legacy.
Warped OGs like Pennywise's Fletcher Dragge and Save Ferris' Monique Powell, as well as more recent tourers like Silverstein's Billy Hamilton and Shane Told, are among the musicians who feature in the video, talking about their first Warped Tour shows and what the festival means to them.
Founder Kevin Lyman and VP of events and promotion Steve Van Doren also talk us through the tour's history. Well worth a watch:
