If you were there on the sun-surface asphalt of Kenner's*Ponchartrain Center parking lot in the summer of 2001, your wraparound-shaded eyes would've witnessed a wealth of familiar pop-punk bands, a blessing to mid-2000s teens in board shorts and plaid bondage pants who seemingly lived at Cypress Hall.

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.
