Hey Cincinnati, are you ready for the largest traveling music festival in the United States and the longest-running touring music festival in North America?

Vans Warped Tour Presented by Journeys is happening this Thursday Jul 19 at Riverbend Music Center (6295 Kellogg Ave Cincinnati)!

Originally conceived by founder Kevin Lyman in 1995 as an eclectic alternative rock festival, with a focus on punk rock, over the years the tour has grown to include a multitude of genres, including metal, hip hop, reggae, pop and more. It remains one of the best tours to attend to discover emerging acts, to learn more about wonderful non-profits and companies who are working to make a positive impact on the world that surround them, and to meet like-minded friends.
