A decades old music tour which showcases some of the hottest up and coming artists is returning to the South Coast for the very last time.
The Vans Warped Tour traditionally stopped in Ventura County every year, attracting tens of thousands of music fans. But, because of timing conflicts with the Ventura County Fair, the tour bypassed Seaside Park in Ventura for the last two years. This year, it will be back on June 24th.
The tour helped launch the careers of a number of artists and bands, including Katy Perry. Paramore, Black Eyed Peas and Fall Out Boys.
While the Vans Tour is returning to the region, it will be for the last time.
Organizers say after 24 years and hundreds of shows, they are retiring the event after this year’s tour.
