Amazon Music has announced that the platform will be livestreaming the iconic Vans Warped Tour. The livestream, which will be sponsored by Lenovo and Intel, is expected to be broadcast globally at the sold-out Washington, D.C., stop of the renowned touring festival and celebrate the impact of its music, community, and culture for its 30th anniversary. Fans will be able to tune into the festivities through Prime Video and the Amazon Music channel on Twitch on Saturday, June 14th and Sunday, June 15th.
The spirit of punk rock and alternative culture that Vans Warped Tour has been committed to uplifting and protecting throughout its 30 years will be brought to the comfort of viewers’ homes. It’ll showcase performances from iconic bands and artists such as Simple Plan, Hawthorne Heights, Mayday Parade, Avril Lavigne, Sublime, and more. Vans Warped Tour has become a legendary staple in the alternative world since its creation in 1995 and now returns to build upon the momentum that’s been missed in the scene since 2019. The festival promises to revive the magic for longtime fans and first-timers with the help of Insomniac, the world’s leading music festival and live events experience curator.
The special livestream will be hosted by musician and media personality Lilith Czar (Juliet Simms) and Amazon Music’s Andy Harms. Live from the exclusive Amazon Music backstage set, the hosts will sit down with some of Vans Warped Tour’s hottest artists to discuss what fans can expect from this exciting weekend. It’ll offer insight into the festival’s behind-the-scenes happenings and take fans straight into the pit to highlight the raw and thrilling energy of the crowd and performers.
