2025 Vans Warped Tour Dates Revealed Ahead Of When We Were Young Festival

It’s no surprise that chatter around the Vans Warped Tour has picked up weeks ahead of the Las Vegas EMO/pop-punk festival When We Were Young . Online speculation of the world-famous scene tour’s return has made its way from X to Reddit, with the official Warped Tour social accounts adding to the hype with a complete blackout leading into the weekend.

Just a few days before the 2024 When We Were Young festival is scheduled to kick off, eagle-eyed festivalgoers already within the Las Vegas city limit caught a few billboards illuminating throughout the Vegas strip that seem to confirm the 2025  Vans Warped Tour,  where concertgoers will be headed next year, and when presale for the upcoming multi-city excursion will begin.

Various Reddit users shared differing billboard images that all share the 2025 Vans Warped Tour heading to Washington D.C. from June 14-15, Long Beach, CA from July 26-27, and Orlando, FL from November 15-16. Pre-sale for the upcoming rendition of the Vans Warped Tour that will be celebrating 30 years of the beloved tour will begin just after this weekend’s When We Were Young festival on October 24.

Of course, as the 2025 Vans Warped Tour has yet to be “officially” announced, things like pricing and venues are yet to be known. But, the consensus online is that pricing would be similar to that of When We Were Young , with many believing the return of Warped Tour would mean an absence of the When We Were Young festival for the 2025 season, giving it time to recharge.

Warped Tour creator Kevin Lyman will also be present throughout the When We Were Young weekend. So, expect an official announcement either during the festival’s festivities or very shortly thereafter.

UPDATE: The 2025 Vans Warped Tour has officially been announced across social media with the launch of the festival’s new website . With the official announcement we also now know that 2-day passes will begin at a decently reasonable $149.98 with fees included . We also now know through their social media posts which venues across the 3 locations will be housing the festival next year.

In a breakdown of the upcoming 2025 rendition of the Vans Warped Tour , founder Kevin Lyman shares with Rolling Stone that the lineup will be through weekly updates and that it will be a mixture of new artists and some Warped Tour veterans. Lyman also expects there to be between 70 to 100 bands per date and that if the 2025 set of dates is successful he will look into adding more.

“People are craving connection, live music, and the raw, unfiltered experience that Warped has always offered,” states founder Kevin 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!”

Warped Tour will be partnering with Insomniac, the experience creators behind some of the world’s largest music festivals and live events, to revive the magic for both longtime fans and newcomers alike.

Pasquale Rotella, Founder of Insomniac, adds, “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. We both prioritize culture and community and focus on keeping the fan experience at the forefront which is why this partnership feels so natural.”

Confirmed brand sponsors include Vans, BeatBox Beverages, Ernie Ball, hiyo, and 805 Beer, with additional sponsors to be revealed. GHOST® Energy will also take center stage as the official energy and hydration drink partner. Their unwavering support and belief in the tour’s vision have been instrumental in its revival, helping to elevate the overall experience for fans and artists alike. Fans can look forward to the iconic Ernie Ball Battle of the Bands which will launch in early 2025, as well as nonprofit booths and fan favorites like meet-and-greets, eco-initiatives, and interactive art tents. This 30th anniversary edition of the tour will combine the festival’s rich history with new immersive elements, creating a vibrant, community-driven atmosphere that will engage both longtime fans and newcomers.

The Vans Warped Tour was more than just a summer festival; it was a rock ‘n’ roll summer camp that shaped the landscape of alternative, punk, and hardcore music for over two decades. Launched in 1995 by promoter Kevin Lyman, Warped Tour became the longest-running traveling music festival in North American history, influencing a generation of fans, musicians, and the industry itself.

Warped Tour began during a time when the alternative music scene was on the rise. Kevin Lyman, inspired by his work with skateboarding events and punk rock shows, envisioned a festival that could unite these two cultures. The idea was to create a fusion of action sports and music, providing a platform for emerging and established punk bands while embracing the DIY ethic of the underground scene.

The first Warped Tour, in 1995, featured an eclectic lineup that included bands like No Doubt, Sublime, and Quicksand. It was a bold mix of punk, ska, and alternative rock that reflected the diverse tastes of youth culture at the time. The partnership with Vans, a skateboarding shoe company, was forged the following year in 1996, further cementing the festival’s association with action sports and the punk ethos.

During these early years, the Warped Tour became known for its accessibility. Ticket prices were kept low, and the festival took place in parking lots, fairgrounds, and even the occasional field, allowing fans from across the country to experience the energy and chaos of a punk show.

By the early 2000s, the Warped Tour had grown exponentially in both size and reputation. The festival became a rite of passage for punk, emo, and hardcore bands looking to build their fanbase. Groups like Green Day, Blink-182, The Offspring, and Pennywise all became staples of the tour, helping it gain mainstream attention while still maintaining its underground roots.

As the 2000s progressed, the festival’s lineup expanded to include other genres, from metalcore to pop-punk to emo. Bands like My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, Paramore, and Avenged Sevenfold all found success on the Warped Tour stage, helping to push the boundaries of what the festival represented. Warped became a launchpad for bands destined for stardom, giving them direct access to a loyal and passionate fanbase.

The mid-2000s saw Warped Tour at its peak. The festival became known not just for its music, but for its sense of community. Non-profit organizations set up booths, and initiatives like Warped Eco Initiative and Warped Rewind at Sea focused on social responsibility. The tour’s “punk rock summer camp” atmosphere made it a haven for both fans and musicians alike, fostering a sense of unity in a chaotic environment.

The rise of digital music and social media in the late 2000s and early 2010s began to change the dynamics of the music industry. The Warped Tour, which had thrived in the pre-internet era, faced new challenges. Still, it adapted by continuing to feature a mix of genres, including electronic and hip-hop acts alongside traditional punk and hardcore bands.

This period saw a continued diversification of the lineup, with artists like Machine Gun Kelly, 3OH!3, and Black Veil Brides joining more traditional punk acts like The Used and Bad Religion. However, the festival also faced criticism for straying from its punk roots, as some fans felt that the newer lineups were catering to more mainstream tastes.

Despite these challenges, Warped Tour maintained its reputation as a summer destination for alternative music fans, remaining a major force in the festival circuit. It continued to provide an affordable, community-driven experience, featuring both up-and-coming bands and veteran acts.

In 2017, Kevin Lyman announced that the 2018 edition of Warped Tour would be the festival’s last as a full, cross-country tour. The announcement came as a shock to many, but it was a reflection of the shifting music industry and the difficulty of sustaining a massive traveling festival. Lyman cited the changing musical landscape, rising production costs, and the festival’s struggle to remain relevant to younger generations.

The final Warped Tour in 2018 featured an all-star lineup that celebrated the festival’s rich history, with performances from bands like Simple Plan, Taking Back Sunday, and Sum 41. The tour was a nostalgic farewell, bringing together longtime fans and performers who had grown up with the festival.

Although the national Warped Tour officially ended in 2018, the festival’s legacy lives on. In 2019, Lyman hosted a series of special Warped Tour 25th Anniversary events in select cities, featuring a diverse lineup of Warped alumni and celebrating the festival’s impact on the alternative music scene.

Warped Tour’s influence is undeniable. It shaped not just the music careers of countless bands but also the lives of millions of fans who found a sense of belonging in the tour’s punk-rock community. Its mix of music, skate culture, and social consciousness made it a defining force in alternative music for over two decades.

Though the days of Warped as a cross-country tour are over, its spirit lives on through the artists it helped launch and the memories it created for fans. It will always be remembered as a place where counterculture thrived, and where punk rock, in all its forms, found a home.
