Kevin Lyman's Unite the United Foundation is auctioning off items to benefit the Kenadee Lucker Educational Fund.

Message

We are all in shock about the sudden and tragic death of Mitch Lucker of Suicide Silence. Although the world and our lives will move on, he leaves behind a beautiful daughter, Kenadee, who will need the support that he promised her, and sadly will not be able to fulfill.

With that said, we feel his music family from the Vans Warped Tour and Rockstar Mayhem Festival can step up to help in the best way we can and that is to dedicate our winter charity auction proceeds to a trust fund for her future education and care.
Please show your support by checking our...

Check out a new interview with Kevin Lyman as he discusses this year's Warped Tour, here.

From the Interview

That’s weird. That one kid that yells at me online that I don’t know what the fuck I’m doing, but you know what? That’s ok. Maybe the tour’s not for you anymore. The tour is not for everyone. Warped Tour is not for everyone. I believe that 10% of every scene is way too hardcore to be at Warped Tour. But 90% of the people out there are just music fans and want to have a good time. Maybe they will come to learn something. Maybe they will meet the people at To Keep A Breast or To Write Love On Her Arms or Invisible Children. They’re going to get involved in another way, you know?

Happy birthday to Kevin Lyman, the founder of Warped Tour.

On Millionaires

To me, Millionaires probably shouldn’t have been on Warped Tour. They weren’t ready for it. Trust me, they weren’t ready as a live band.

In a new interview with Punknews, Kevin Lyman defends the addition of Brokencyde, Millionaires, and Jeffree Starr to the Warped Tour roster.

From the interview

You don’t have to like Brokencyde, or Jeffree Star, or the Millionaires, and I’m not saying that I do necessarily. But they are doing something, capturing something, stirring up controversy. Punk bands used to stir up controversy; if you’re taking that as the definition of “punk”, these artists could fall under that category.

Kevin Lyman recently posted a news item on WarpedTour.com defending Millionaires.

Alright HATERS, this one is for you. It is funny to see how much time many of you spend being negative about the smallest things, I sure hope you get it out of your system now or you may grow up and have one miserable life. HATERS really don't get ahead, you may not like something but move onto something you like and support and use your energy up in a positive way. Over the last 15 years the HATERS have bashed artists like Eminem, Kid Rock, The Black Eyed Peas, and many many more who have appeared on the warped tour, and look where their careers ended up.

That's the great thing about the...

From the Interview

You have to come with an open mind. It’s not like you have to see the headliner or this band or that band. It’s the one show you can go to and see something you’ve never seen before. I still think it’s the best place for a 12 to 14-year-old. There are not a lot of music options out there for that age group.
