WARPED TOUR RETURNING IN 2025

The Vans Warped Tour will be revived in 2025 after a seven-year hiatus by founder Kevin Lyman and Pasquale Rotella's Insomniac.

The pioneering rock festival will stage two-day events at RFK Campus in Washington, D.C. (6/14-15), Downtown Long Beach Shoreline Waterfront in Long Beach, California (7/26-27), and Camping World Stadium Campus in Orlando, Florida (11/15-16).

No lineups have yet been announced, but each show will feature 70-100 bands, "reflecting a wide range of genres including but not limited to rock, punk rock, alternative, pop punk and emo."

“People are craving connection, live music and the raw, unfiltered experience that Warped has always offered," said Lyman. "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!”

“It’s very exciting to partner with Kevin to bring back the Warped Tour," added Rotella. "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 the Warped Tour. We both prioritize culture and community and focus on keeping the fan experience at the forefront, which is why this partnership feels so natural.”

HITS will try not to elbow you in the face in the mosh pit, but we can't make any promises.
