After twenty-three years of shows all across the country, iconic traveling summer festival Vans Warped Tour will be coming to end. The tour's final installment will take place in 2018.
Founder Kevin Lyman had this to say: "Today, with many mixed feelings, I am here to announce that next year will be the final, full cross-country run of the Vans Warped Tour."
In a new interview with Billboard, Lyman cites "an evolving summer festival industry, a shrinking pool of bands, and declining ticket sales amongst its teenage demographic" as some of the reasons behind his decision.
