The Vans Warped Tour is poised to make a significant comeback in 2025, celebrating its 30th anniversary with anticipation building for fans worldwide. The tour, renowned for its eclectic mix of punk, rock, and alternative music, is set to make three major stops: Washington, D.C., Long Beach, California, and Orlando, Florida. This year, the emphasis is on hosting a series of vibrant events that showcase both veteran and new musical acts, making it a monumental return after a six-year hiatus.

Headliners include stalwarts of the punk-rock scene such as Simple Plan, known for their energetic performances and fan-favorite hits. Alongside them, Bowling for Soup and Pennywise will be gracing the stage, offering a dash of familiarity to longtime followers of the festival. Miss May I, a band known for its powerful metalcore sound, is also part of the billing, ensuring the lineup covers a wide range of rock subgenres. The tour will also be spotlighting rising artists like Chandler Leighton, promising fresh sounds and new experiences for attendees.

Significantly, the 30th anniversary of the tour is marked by three stops across different regions in the United States. Each location will host a two-day festival format, promising a jam-packed musical experience. Washington, D.C. will kick off the festivities on June 14-15; Long Beach follows on July 26-27; while Orlando hosts the concluding leg on November 15-16. Each venue will provide a unique roster, with certain bands like Miss May I scheduled to perform at all three events, ensuring a consistent high-energy lineup.

Partnering with Insomniac, known for their dynamic Electric Daisy Carnival productions, the tour aims to elevate the festival atmosphere with top-tier production elements. Attendees can expect a convergence of traditional punk rock ambiance with modern festival production, enhancing both visual and auditory experiences. Reports suggest that each stop will feature between 70 and 100 bands, thereby promising a diverse musical showcase that caters to a broad spectrum of rock enthusiasts.

The announcement of the artist lineup is being handled uniquely this year. Organizers have embarked on a “30 Days of Warped” campaign, gradually unveiling new artists day by day until February 26. Tickets for the three events have been released, with some locations already seeing brisk sales, reflecting the thirst for live music and the nostalgia associated with the Vans Warped Tour. While Washington, D.C. and Long Beach events have sold out, Orlando still offers both general and VIP options.
