The original massive touring festival, Vans Warped Tour, ran from 1995 through 2019. Scranton was an annual stop along the Vans Warped Tour circuit for many years and the summer tour became a cultural milestone for rock, punk, metal, hardcore,and alternative music and its fans.

I still remember waking up at the crack of dawn to apply my black eyeliner so my friends and I could be among the first ones through the gate. The sunburn was always worth it and the day was always epic.

For myself and many others, we’d do anything to feel that camaraderie again! So, it’s exciting to see The Ritz Theater doing their part to bring that Warped Tour energy back to Scranton.
