Warped Tour 2026: Kevin Lyman on the Festival's Legacy, and Why It Inspired a Generation of Artists

Описание: If you are a part of the heavy music scene or alternative scene in any way, Warped Tour has touched your life in more ways that one. Whether it was spending all day in the summer moshing to your favorite bands, discovering new artists, or finding a sense of community where you maybe felt alone. Warped Tour was there. And when it went away after 2018, there was a void, but their legacy lived on.

With Warped Tour returning in 2025 and continuing in 2026, not only is the festival's legacy continuing with what they are doing, but their influence across the music scene is undeniable. A new chapter of Warped Tour is here, and it is a beautiful thing.

Warped Tour founder, creator, and showrunner Kevin Lyman joins the Chord Progression Podcast today before the start of Warped Tour 2026. Get hyped for your favorite festival as we talk about:

How Warped Tour continues to support bands of all sizes in the heavy music & alternative music scene with grandure, refusing to let the scene fade into the background, while curating a festival for a generational experience.

The legacy of Warped Tour, why going away after 2018 made the heart grow fonder for many music fans, and how Warped Tour has been influencing the scene & music festivals to this day.

Supporting non-profits and using Warped Tour as a cause for good in every community that they show up in.
