Season 10 Episode 6: Emo Dad talks to Kevin Lyman (Warped Tour Founder)Matt and James were super excited to sit down with Kevin Lyman, the legendary founder of the greatest punk rock festival on earth, Warped Tour.We discuss Kevin’s early days of putting on house shows and calling the police himself to get people to leave, when we hired an air hanger and accidentally shut down an airport, and booking bands like Red Hot Chilli Peppers to play skate parks.We then of course chat about the early days of Warped Tour, how it was meant to be a one off and the first bands that were booked. We discuss the culture around the tour, how it’s important to support non profits and how to balance corporate sponsorship with punk rock. We chat about scenes and eras and bringing the festival to the UK.We hear the exciting developments of this year’s tour, with shows in the States, Canada and Mexico scheduled and loads of amazing bands already announced. It’s going to be mega!We loved this conversation and hope you do too.
