The best known and largest tour of punk, hardcore, indie and ska. Founded in 1995 by promoter Kevin Lyman, it quickly grew to encompass all that was good and bad about festival tours. Though it manages to meld many progressive and counter-cultural ideas like skateboarding and punk, it has also become a center for youth-oriented product placement, and extensive advertising abounds. Despite that, it still boasts a huge range of acts and stages for almost any tastes, and has played host to notable acts like NOFX, Green Day, Bad Religion, Rancid, and Less Than Jake, to name but a few of the hundreds of bands who have played the international tour.
