Vans Warped Tour - Houston TX

Combining the irrepressible adrenaline rush of gravity-defying, high-flying extreme sports with screeching guitars & beating drums is a novelty introduced by the Vans Warped Tour. The Warped Tour is a touring music & extreme sports festival which has incorporated the thrill of the X-Games with the relentless rev of punk rock, ska & alternative rock. Started in 1994 by skateboarding show host Kevin Lyman, the tour whipped up an amazing fan following within years, prompting organizers to aid it in going international by 1998.

The Warped Tour now enjoys a place among the calendar year's most awaited showpiece events, with thumping music adding flavor to the devil-may-care sports activities. The performance time for bands has been extended, with acts performing 40 minute sets in front of delirious fans on 10 stages across the venues. With blaring music contributing to the party atmosphere & unbelievable sporting skills on display, BMX/skateboard manufacturer Vans has cashed in on the idea, & helped immensely with widespread publicity in recent years. The Showgrounds at Sam Houston Race Park, Houston, will host the phenomenal next edition this year, leaving fans with no further excuse to rush for Vans Warped Tour Houston tickets.
