On November 15, 2017, Warped Tour fans were greeted with a sad blog post, entitled “All Things Must Come To An End,” followed by the man behind the event, Kevin Lyman, stating it would be the last official year of the Vans Warped Tour. After 24 years and more than 1700 bands, artists who have been propelled into stardom, and millions of fans coming out each year, its run will be over. But not before an amazing final year of shows, taking place this summer between June 21 and August 5, 38 pit stops in 46 days. Vans Warped Tour will land in Toronto for its only Canadian date on July 17th, 2018. Veterans of the tour and those who were propelled into stardom from it will be giving back, as seen in the lineup below.

The rock gods smiled on Calgary, and blessed us with BLS
MacEwen hall was chalk full of rockers on Saturday night, the industrial looking college venue in Calgary making a perfect escape from the cold. An enthusiastic and heavily branded crowd greeted us as we walked into the large room, fired up from openers eyehategod and eagerly awaiting Corrosion of Conformity. There was puke on the floor, the beer lineups were ridiculously long, and the women were as pretty as the beards. It was it was the kind of show where everyone was there for the music. Like, there was this beautiful, unspoken sense of camaraderie. One dude just going around and taking selfies videos with everyone, I don’t even know if he realized BLS was playing but he was super stoked about the whole thing. It’s like we’d just gotten home.
