About

Kevin Lyman

Music industry leader Kevin Lyman began his career booking bands for his university, and working as a roadie for then-unknown acts, such as The Untouchables, The Bangles and Bad Religion. After college, Kevin began working with up-and-coming independent promoter Goldenvoice, serving as production manager for seminal punk rock and metal bands, such as The Germs, Metallica, Circle Jerks, Anthrax and Jane's Addiction.

Kevin is best known as the producer and creator of the hugely successful Vans Warped Tour--the longest-running music and extreme sports festival tour in the world today. Now in its 10th year, the tour reaches more than 500,000 kids each summer, and has spawned a host of imitators. With Warped Tour, Kevin has pioneered the successful integration of corporate sponsors with the "extreme" lifestyle, creating a blueprint for sponsorship integration that is widely duplicated in the marketplace today.

Kevin Lyman and his company, 4Fini, Inc., have created numerous other successful tour productions, including The Watcha Tour, Down From the Mountain Tour, Sprite Liquid Mix Tour and The Great High Mountain Tour, and have produced custom events for SEGA Dreamcast, Vans, USSA, Jose Cuervo and New York's Z-100 radio station.

Kevin is also known as a music industry authority on multiple corporate branding projects, acting as a consultant, production supervisor and branding guru to help companies maintain valuable street-level credibility that endears their products to the younger market. In addition to running his production company, Kevin is part-owner of Side One Dummy Records, an independent record label which has an impressive and diverse roster including the Irish band Flogging Molly, punk icons Suicidal Tendencies, current alternative radio darlings Go Betty Go and swing favorites Royal Crown Review.

This year, Kevin introduces his newest brainstorm to the world: the Taste Of Chaos tour, featuring some of the biggest names in the hardcore/screamo genre today, as well as lifestyle entertainment company WARCON ENTERPRISES LLC.

Kevin is available for Keynote address, guest lectures, and panel discussions.
