Warped Tour 2025: Cities, Dates & What to Expect from the Iconic Festival

A Legendary Festival Returns

After much speculation, the Vans Warped Tour is officially set to return in 2025 to celebrate its 30th anniversary. Fans of punk, alternative, emo, and rock music will once again have the chance to experience one of the most iconic touring festivals in music history. This time, the event will be structured as a three-city festival series rather than a nationwide tour, stopping in Washington, D.C.; Long Beach, California; and Orlando, Florida.

Kevin Lyman on Warped Tour’s Return

Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman has expressed excitement about bringing back the festival, 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. 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!”
