Gallery: Idobi Summer School Tour

By Grace Forrester

If you were alternative in any form and growing up in the early 2000s to 2010s, chances are you have, in some capacity, heard of Warped Tour. Not only was it largest traveling tour in its’ prime, but it also hoisted many big names across genres into the mainstream music scene. From artists like Katy Perry to bands like Blink-182, Warped Tour stood at the forefront when it came to helping music lovers of all kinds find their next favorite artist for a fraction of the cost to similar festivals.

After the final run of the tour ended in the summer of 2019, there was a sizable gap missing where it once took space. Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman felt the same way, driving him and top excexutives from Hopeless Records and KMGMT to form the Idobi Summer School Tour. Just like Warped, the lineup of the bands changes with each stop, ensuring that each date on the tour is slightly different than the last. Including a mix of popular and emerging pop-punk acts such as The Home Team, Magnolia Park, Stand Atlantic, Scene Queen, Honey Revenge, and Letdown, there is truly a little something for everyone!
