Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family of Mr. DeForest

Curtis Alan DeForest, age 26 of Wichita, Kansas, a patron attending yesterday’s Van’s Warped Tour at the amphitheater was transported to Providence Medical Center where he later passed away. An investigation by the Bonner Springs Police Department and the Wyandotte County District Attorney’s Office is ongoing. The cause of death has yet to be determined and the venue is working closely with authorities to aid in their investigation.

As is the standard practice at all shows that visit the Amphitheater, patrons were allowed to bring in their own bottles of water. Once inside, the permanent water refill locations that are throughout the venue were in operation for all patrons to access throughout the day. In preparation for the heat, additional measures were taken by the venue including the positioning of misting stations for fans, additional water refill stations as well as shade throughout the wooded venue.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family of Mr. DeForest.

The Van’s Warped tour is a national traveling show making stops in over 40 cities throughout the US and Canada. It has been a staple of the Kansas City Music scene for years and has been hosted the last 8+ years at Sandstone.
