Vans Warped Tour Returns for 30th Anniversary- Tickets On Sale Now

In 2025, Vans Warped Tour returns as three two-day festival dates in Washington, D.C., Long Beach, CA and Orlando, FL. The festival, in partnership with Insomniac, will feature 70-100 bands on each stop. Full weekend passes begin at $149.98. Tickets go on sale October 24th at 12PM EST at https://www.vanswarpedtour.com/.

Warped Tour’s previous lineups included Blink-182, Fall Out Boy, Green Day, The Used, My Chemical Romance and more. In the past few years, these bands have played at When We Were Young festival, which scratched the itch for emo, rock and punk fans in Warped Tour’s absence. Last weekend at WWWY festival, there were many flyers around announcing Warped Tour’s return. The lineup will honor the brand’s iconic history while shining a spotlight on the next generation of artists. In early 2025, the Ernie Ball Battle of the Bands returns so emerging artists can compete for performance time. Full lineup details will be announced at a later date.

“People are craving connection, live music, and the raw, unfiltered experience that Warped has always offered,” says Kevin Lyman, Founder of Warped Tour. “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.”

The 2025 Warped Tour kicks off in D.C. at the Festival Grounds at RFK Campus on June 14th and 15th. From there, it heads to Long Beach, where it will take place on July 26th and 27th at Downtown Long Beach Shoreline Waterfront. The final stop of the tour is in Orlando, FL at Camping World Stadium Campus on November 15th and 16th. Each date will feature non-profit booths, meet-and-greets, eco-initiatives and interactive art tents. Confirmed brand sponsors include Vans, BeatBox Beverages, Ernie Ball, hiyo, and 805 Beer. GHOST® Energy will be the official energy and hydration drink partner.
