On October 17, founder Kevin Lyman confirmed that the festival will return in 2025 after a six-year hiatus to celebrate its 30th anniversary.
“People are craving connection, live music, and the raw, unfiltered experience that Warped has always offered,” said Lyman in a press release. “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!”
The ticket presale for the traveling rock and punk tour, which launched in 1995, went live on October 24. Now, after months of anticipation, the first lineup announcement has been made.
Here’s everything you need to know about the festival.
When Is Warped Tour 2025? After a six-year hiatus, the festival will feature two-day events in three cities on the following dates: June 14-15, July 26-27, and November 15-16.
What Cities Will Be Included? The traveling pop-punk music festival will be held at the following locations:
- Festival Grounds at RFK Campus, Washington, D.C. (June 14-15)
- Shoreline Waterfront, Long Beach, California (July 26-27)
- Camping World Stadium Campus, Orlando, Florida (Nov. 15-16)
Who’s Performing? According to Variety, Simple Plan, Bowling For Soup, and a reunited Dance Hall Crashers will perform at the festival. Miss May I, Chandler Leighton, and Pennywise are also among the first confirmed acts, with around 100 bands expected to take part.
Further lineup announcements are expected daily leading up to February 26th as part of the festival’s “30 Days of Warped” campaign.
Previous acts have included bands such as Blink-182, Green Day, Paramore, and Fall Out Boy.
When Was the Last Festival? Why Did They Stop? The last Warped Tour festival took place in 2019.
Back in 2017, Lyman announced that the 2018 Warped Tour would be the final tour. During an appearance on the Inside Track podcast in 2019, Lyman explained that he decided to end the festival due to an eroding “sense of community” among pop-punk fans. However, he later brought the festival back for a limited 25th-anniversary celebration that same year.
In 2019, Warped Tour featured stops in Ohio, New Jersey, and California, showcasing a who’s who of festival alumni, including 311, Bad Religion, The All-American Rejects, Andrew W.K., Anti-Flag, and Gym Class Heroes.
