The iconic Vans Warped Tour is making a triumphant return in 2025 to celebrate its 30th anniversary. This legendary festival, known for its emo, rock, and pop-punk lineups, will stop in three major cities: Washington, D.C. on June 14 and 15, Long Beach, California on July 26 and 27, and Orlando, Florida on November 15 and 16. Each city will host a two-day event featuring between 70 to 100 bands, with details on the full lineup forthcoming.
The last iteration of the Warped Tour took place in 2019 during its 25th anniversary, with performances in Cleveland, Atlantic City, and Mountain View, California. Founder Kevin Lyman emphasized the importance of the festival’s return, stating, “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.”
