Vans Warped Tour Is Back, Announces 30th Anniversary Shows For 2025
The Vans Warped Tour, one of the most successful touring festivals in history, has announced that it will be returning in 2025 for six shows to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the brand. Despite initially ending with a final cross-country tour in 2018, followed by a series of 25th anniversary shows in 2019, Kevin Lyman has unveiled plans for Warped Tour to officially return, highlighting some of the biggest and newest acts in punk rock, alternative, emo, pop punk, and more.
Each show is slated to include 70-100 bands, combining past festival favorites along with a slew of up and coming performers, in the tradition of the tours’ past. The tour has announced that it will be teaming up with production partners Insomniac, known for putting on some of the biggest events in electronic dance music like Electric Daisy Carnival, Beyond Wonderland, and countless others.
The six dates will take place at the following locations, with presale tickets going on sale here October 24th at 9 AM PST. :
June 14th-15th, 2025: Washington, DC - Festival Grounds at RFK Campus
July 26th-27th, 2025: Long Beach, CA - Shoreline Waterfront
November 15th-16th, 2025: Orlando, FL - Camping World Stadium Campus
In a press release announcing the festivals return, founder Kevin Lyman stated the following:
“People are craving connection, live music, and the raw, unfiltered experience that Warped has always offered. We've seen how music continues to unite and inspire, and this return isn't just about nostalgia—it's about giving a new generation the chance to feel that same sense of belonging and freedom that Warped has always championed. Insomniac is a company I’ve always admired, so when the opportunity to collaborate arose, I couldn’t say no. I thought, why the hell not? Let’s dive in and make this happen!”
Pasquale Rotella, founder of Insomniac, continued:
“It’s very exciting to partner with Kevin to bring Warped Tour back. He’s built an incredible legacy that celebrates the heart of live music and we’re energized to create a rad festival that honors the spirit of Warped Tour. We both prioritize culture and community and focus on keeping the fan experience at the forefront which is why this partnership feels so natural.”
We will share more details as they become available over the next year.
