Vans Warped Tour is set to return to Washington, DC, Orlando, and Long Beach in 2025 to mark its 30th anniversary with an unforgettable celebration.
Rewind to 1995, when Vans Warped Tour embarked on its journey to becoming a cornerstone of the music festival landscape. From its inception until 2018, this nationwide touring festival showcased a plethora of artists across the rock spectrum, from pop-punk to emo, while introducing many new talents to the music scene. After commemorating its 25th anniversary with a special event in 2019, there has been a hush about its future… until now.
Today, Vans Warped Tour revealed a collaboration with Insomniac to revive the festival and celebrate its 30th anniversary with a three-show run in 2025. Fans eager for a nostalgic experience filled with incredible artists from rock, pop-punk, emo, alternative, and more can look forward to shows in Washington DC, Long Beach, and Orlando.
“Partnering with Kevin to bring Warped Tour back is incredibly exciting. He has created an amazing legacy that embodies the essence of live music, and we are thrilled to craft a fantastic festival that honors the spirit of Warped Tour,” stated Insomniac Founder Pasquale Rotella. “Both of our organizations prioritize culture and community while keeping the fan experience at the forefront, making this partnership feel seamless.”
Each Vans Warped Tour event will showcase a lineup of 70 to 100 bands over two days. The Washington DC edition is scheduled for June 14-15 at the Festival Grounds at RFK Campus, while the Long Beach edition will take place on July 26-27 at the Downtown Long Beach Shoreline Waterfront. The final stop in Orlando will be held at Camping World Stadium Campus on November 15-16.
People are yearning for connection, live music, and the authentic experience that Warped has always delivered. We recognize how music continues to unite and inspire, and this return is more than just nostalgia—it’s about providing a new generation with the same sense of belonging and freedom that Warped has consistently championed. I’ve always respected Insomniac, and when the chance to collaborate arose, I couldn’t resist. I thought, why not? Let’s make it happen!
