“I just love the city of Pittsburgh. It possesses a resilience and a charm that matches the people who live here. My love for punk rock started at the very location where we are bringing the festival back; my first ever Warped Tour was in this very space, the event will bringing it back is a full-circle moment. F.N.B. Stadium is a beautiful location near the confluence of Pittsburgh’s 3 downtown rivers, offering one of the most picturesque concert experiences,” said Festival founder Rishi Bahl.
