Vans Warped Tour will travel to Washington, DC, Orlando, and Long Beach next year to celebrate its 30th anniversary in style.
Turn back the clock to 1995, and you’ll find Vans Warped Tour taking its first steps to becoming a major player in the festival scene. From that year until 2018, this cross-country touring festival helped shine a light on artists in the rock scene, from pop-punk to emo and more, while birthing countless more into the scene. Vans Warped Tour celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2019 with a special show, but all was quiet regarding its future since then… until now.
Today, Vans Warped Tour announced that it has teamed up with Insomniac to bring the festival back to life and celebrate its 30th anniversary with a three-show run in 2025. Those looking to get a dose of nostalgia and catch fantastic artists from the realms of rock, pop punk, emo, alternative, and more can do so by attending editions in Washington DC, Long Beach, and Orlando.
“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,” said Insomniac Founder Pasquale Rotella. “We both prioritize culture and community and focus on keeping the fan experience at the forefront, which is why this partnership feels so natural.”
Each edition of Vans Warped Tour will feature a lineup of 70 to 100 bands over their respective two-day experiences. The Washington DC edition will take place at the Festival Grounds at RFK Campus on June 14-15, while the Long Beach edition is set to take over the Downtown Long Beach Shoreline Waterfront on July 26-27. The final stop on the tour in Orlando will take place at Camping World Stadium Campus on November 15-16.
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!
