A special music video from the Vans Warped Tour 15th Anniversary birthday bash is being released on Blu-ray Disc, DVD and CD later this month.

Dubbed North America’s longest-running touring music festival, the Vans Warped Tour threw a birthday bash — filmed last September at Club Nokia in Los Angeles — featuring performances from artists All American Rejects, The Aggrolites, Bad Religion, Blink 182, Ice-T, Nofx, Ozomatli, Pennywise, Pete Wentz and The Decaydence All Stars (with Pete Wentz and members of Panic at the Disco), Rise Against and Underoath, among others.

Summit Entertainment, which distributes the Twilight franchise, March 20 will release Vans Warped Tour 15th Anniversary Celebration on Blu-ray at $28.99.

EMI Music and Caroline Distribution are releasing separate DVD/CD combos of Vans Warped Tour at $16.98, including an exclusive Wal-Mart release that features four bonus songs and omits Ice T & Body Count’s infamous 1992 track “Cop Killer.”  

Bonus material available on DVD and Blu-ray includes an introduction by Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman, a making-of video and special features “Warped Gives Back” and “New Warped Band.”

“This DVD captures the 15 years of the tour in the best way possible, by acknowledging the history, diversity and the future of the tour,” Lyman said.
