Why hyperpop owes its existence to heavy metal
Hyperpop is on the rise – and it’s thanks, in large part, to metal subgenres like nu-metal, crunkcore and metalcore…
The 25th anniversary celebrations are in place already.
While this year saw Vans Warped Tour end as a proper cross-country run, founder Kevin Lyman has revealed dates for its 25th anniversary celebrations in 2019.
In a tweet, Kevin advised fans: "Only thing I can say for now, since many need to hold vacation dates are June 8 Cleveland, June 29-30 East Coast, July 20-21 West Coast."
There are no other details available just yet, but it's safe to assume there'll be a whole load of brilliant bands wanting to get involved in Warped's quarter-century birthday party.
"We’ll do some stuff for the 25th anniversary next year – I’m working on those plans now – but this is definitely going to be the last cross-country tour," Kevin told us back in August.
So it'll definitely not be on as large of a scale as previous years – but this is still very, very exciting indeed.
