'THIS IS NOT OKAY': fans react to cancellation of UK Vans Warped Tour

Fans took to Twitter today to share their seven stages of grief after the promoter for the UK version of Vans Warped Tour revealed that the show would not take place in 2014.

There's been no official confirmation as to why the pop-punk/rock/alternative rock/punk-rock event has been given the heave-ho, but let us remind you that 2013's installment saw US rapper George Watsky jump from a 35 ft lighting rig, injuring two audience members and shutting the concert down.

Unsurprisingly, potential Warped Tour attendees are not too happy about the development, prodding promoter Kevin Lyman for an explanation and even threatening suicide, which is a little bit strong. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Vans Warped Tour has been active in the US, Europe and Australia since the mid 90s but only came to the UK last year. 2013's event, which was held at London's Alexandra Palace, saw acts such as Enter Shikari, Coheed and Cambria, and Yellowcard perform.

Warped Tour has since cited not being able to get a line-up together they were "happy with" as the reason for the cancellation, and say they hope to return to Europe in 2015.
