Founder Kevin Lyman made an impactful speech prior to the final song as the show came to a close. As if you weren’t emotional enough already, here are some of the scene’s reactions to the end of Warped Tour.

JARROD ALONGE
THE FINAL WARPED TOUR
Came in 2008 as an angsty teen, leaving in 2018 as an angsty manchild. Big thanks to @KevinLyman and decades of staff for putting THOUSANDS of artists into kids’ ears, many of which wouldn’t have careers if not for this gig.
Time for one last heatstroke ?
