The Toronto stop of Vans Warped Tour involved over 50 bands, each ready to provide one last memory for fans of the event. A full day of music running from 11 in the morning until 10 at night, it is best described as an exhausting day full of energy.
VANS Warped Tour lineup announcement for 2018
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.
CKY, The Wild! and more rock the Babylon
Monday nights in Ottawa are not necessarily the most successful nights for live shows, but this past Monday was clearly an exception. The Diamond Mine Agency had brought a five band set to the jam packed Babylon, with the American rock band CKY as its headliner, Kelowna’s The Wild!, Toronto’s Old James and two opening acts from Ottawa.
