The lineup for the 2001 Vans Warped Tour included*Rancid, Me First & the Gimme Gimmes, the Bouncing Souls, AFI, The Vandals and 311*? but that was the last time the event stopped in Louisiana.

For the first time in 15 years, the traveling music and extreme sports festival returns to Louisiana. The 2016 Vans Warped Tour heads to New Orleans on June 27.?
