What began in 1994 as a idea in the head of Kevin Lyman--and named after a skateboarding magazine called "Warp"--went on to become a mainstay of summer concert fare. Celebrating 15 years, the Vans Warped Tour is one of the few touring festivals left in North America, and it is the only mainstream showcase of both established and budding punk bands.

This year's lineup of over 50 artists includes Warped Tour favorites Bad Religion , NOFX , Anti-Flag , Underoath and Less than Jake , as well as 3OH!3 , Millionaires , Thrice , A Day to Remember, Dear and the Headlights, Madina Lake , Jeffree Star, Lights, VersaEmerge and The Devil Wears Prada .

On Saturday (6/27), LiveDaily photographer Tim Mosenfelder braved the body-slamming crowd and blazing sunshine at San Francisco's Pier 30/32 to get photos of the action. Here are some of his best shots.
