    Punk Rock Is Dead

    The Vans Warped Tour, the annual punk-rock music festival that's crossed the U.S. every summer for the past 23 years, is calling it quits. Summer 2018 will be its swan song, and it's going out with a lineup that reads like a Warped greatest hits.

    Acts performing include Reel Big Fish, Simple Plan, All Time Low, Four Year Strong, 3OH!3, Less Than Jake, Underoath, We The Kings, The Used, and Tonight Alive. Newer acts joining the tour include State Champs, Trash Boat, Don Broco, Grayscale, Waterparks, Real Friends, and Movements.

    The tour has 38 dates, commencing June 21 in Pomona, California, and ending August 5 in West Palm, Florida. It will hit three cities in Texas, including Dallas' Starplex Pavilion on July 6; San Antonio's AT&T Center on July 7; and Houston's NRG Park on July 8.

    In a statement, founder Kevin Lyman said, "I truly am happy to get the chance to travel around the country one more time to thank you for your support, and bring you another best day ever."

    The Vans Warped Tour is the largest traveling music festival in the United States, and the longest-running touring music festival in North America. Originally conceived by Lyman in 1995 as an eclectic alternative-rock festival with a focus on punk rock, it has grown to include a multitude of genres, including metal, hip hop, reggae, and pop.

    Past performers who've gone on to fame and fortune include Blink 182, No Doubt, Sublime, Beck, Katy Perry, NOFX, Limp Bizkit, Black Eyed Peas, Green Day, Eminem, Yellowcard, Bad Religion, and more.

    It remains one of the best tours to attend to discover emerging acts and, in keeping with the original idealism of punk rock, it spotlights nonprofits and companies working to make a positive impact on the world.

    In 2018, it will launch the FEND Movement (Full Energy, No Drugs) in partnership with the Preventum Initiative.

    The FEND Movement empowers youth to make a stand against opioids. It aims to engage 50,000 young people between March and August 2018, giving them the chance to earn rewards and prizes as they increase their knowledge and change their attitudes and behaviors in relation to opioids. Youth can participate by downloading the Preventum app and on-boarding to the FEND campaign.

    Other organizations touring this summer include A Voice For The Innocent, American Red Cross, Hope For The Day, Feed Our Children Now!, Living The Dream Foundation, To Write Love on Her Arms, and Truth. Fans can see their favorite bands as well as become educated on these causes and how they can help.

    Returning this summer are two stages showcasing heavy and hardcore music with acts that include Chelsea Grin, Mychildren My Bride, Every Time I Die, Knocked Loose, The Amity Affliction, and Ice Nine Kills.

    The Entertainment Institute will return as well, hosting educational workshops and Q&A's hosted by writers, artists, and photographers. More information regarding the artists conducting workshops will be available in April at thinktei.com.

    This year's sponsors include dailyKARMA, Ernie Ball, Equal Vision Records, Full Sail University, Peta2, MusiCares, PRS Guitars, Hopeless Records, Viceland, Violent Gentlemen, and Hope For The Day.

    3D collector tickets, as well as super fan bundles, are on sale now and can be purchased at vanswarpedtour.com. General admission tickets go on sale March 8 at 10 am at livenation.com.

    New comedy club at Toyota Music Factory in Irving gets set for laughs

    This is the fifth Punch Line location.

    It's almost time for Punch Line Irving to open its doors, and Dave Chappelle is at the ready. The famous comedian will christen the new comedy club with four sold-out shows on December 17 and 18, but there's plenty more funny business in store for 2026.

    First announced in November, this is Punch Line's fifth location — and second in Texas, the first opened in Houston in 2024 — and it's taking up residence at the Toyota Music Factory. The 240-seat club plans to host more than 350 shows and private events annually, featuring a blend of high-wattage celebrity and homegrown talent.

    Its decor nods to the brand's belief that comedy is a sport, with feature wall showcasing punching bags and boxing bells signed by "heavy hitter" performers.

    The menu also echoes the theme, with such cocktails as the Bellringer (bourbon, lemonade, and Liquid Death half-and-half iced tea), Ringside Ranch Water (blanco tequila, hibiscus, lime, and soda), and the Espresso All-Star, their take on the espresso martini. Food includes Punch Line favorites like the Mic Drop Burger, Punch Line Nachos, and Homemade Punch Pop Tarts in bourbon apple or strawberry cream.

    There is also a second, more flexible space outside the main showroom called The Callback Bar that's designed to host smaller performances, as well as a furnished patio.

    This is the fifth Punch Line location.

    The talent gets treated as well as the audience, with a private comics lounge in place of a traditional dressing room. Designed as a shared gathering space, it sports a custom media wall showing the live-show feed, a dressing table, a private ensuite restroom, and a hospitality station.

    Punch Line makes it a point to support the local comedy scene, and its Irving location will be no exception. Twenty-five cents from each ticket at participating shows benefits Comedy Gives Back, a nonprofit organization providing financial grants and resources to stand-up comedians in need. The club also hosted its first open mic on December 9 to welcome the community, with participating comics donating nonperishable items to the North Texas Food Bank.

    Don't fret if you didn't snag tickets to Dave Chappelle — big names like Leslie Jones, Tone Bell, Pete Holmes, and Christina P. all have shows scheduled in the first few months of 2026 and tickets are on sale now.
