I have so much respect for Kevin Lyman man. I never realized what it takes to produce even one festival with a couple stages, let alone an entire festival tour until I produced my own. It’s crazy dude, just the logistics are a nightmare. Liability, insurance, permits, police presence, and that’s not even getting to negotiating with the bands yet. Fund raising, promotion, crew hires. This man did all of that every summer for 20 years. It’s really a miracle to be honest. Love that dude.
Thanks to Kevin, I had an opportunity to intern with warped tour for a week in 2007...and he didn't even have to do this! But he held on to his word from a year earlier. I was part of their production crew. Best time of my life.
i wasnt allowed to go to warped tour because my parents thought it would be a bad influence on me... after seeing this, i am now questioning my parents intelligence... i got into drugs and everything else that was bad anyway without going to warped tour... i could have learned so much from this festival
I can't stress enough free water thing. I began going to Warped Tour when I was 14 years old. Free water was available in the form of a warm water fountain or the bathroom sink. I would not and pretty much could not spend money on drinks or food all day. I have been to at least one Warped Tour every year since, I am very glad the free water refill stations became a thing.
