Vans Warped Tour

Vans Warped Tour appears in Working memory: the surprising decline of dementia as part of the wider emo and punk-adjacent revival. The episode says the tour returned for its 30th anniversary with dates across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

The source uses the tour as revival infrastructure. Alongside When We Were Young Festival, it shows that emo demand is not only one band’s comeback but a wider live-event market around memory, genre identity, and intergenerational participation.
