Thirty summers, thousands of bands, millions of people connecting with music they love and will come to love and at the center of it all was the visionary who turned a wild idea into the Vans Warped Tour, the longest-running traveling music festival in American history, Kevin Lyman.

In this episode of Without Compromise, Kevin joins us to reflect on three decades of music, community, and chaos that helped define a generation. From punk parking lots to global stages, he shares the stories, lessons, and purpose behind building a movement that connected artists and fans the world has never seen before.

Here at Athletic Brewing, we’re celebrating 30 years of Vans Warped Tour with Side Stage, a golden, hoppy pale ale for those who still know every lyric but don’t bounce back from hangovers like they used to.

Listen now for a conversation about staying grounded while shaping culture, building purpose-driven projects that last, and what it means to live without compromise.
