Following reports earlier this year, Vans Warped Tour has officially announced its return for 2025, celebrating its 30th anniversary. It’ll happen in three cities, over two days in each: Washington D.C’s Festival Grounds at RFK Campus on June 14-15; Long Beach, CA’s Shoreline Waterfront on July 26-27; and Orlando, FL’s Camping World Stadium Campus on November 15-16. Presale sign ups for each are open now.
Of the decision to keep it to three cities, festival founder Kevin Lyman told Rolling Stone, “My body won’t take riding around on a tour bus for 40 cities,” but added, “If it works, we’ll look to the future to do more.”
Lyman told Rolling Stone that each city will have 70-100 bands, with a mix of artists from lineups past and new artists. “We’re getting very, very selective in trying to find some unique twists to the lineup,” he said. They’re planning to roll out lineup additions weekly, and they’re also bringing back the inflatable daily set list on site at each show. Stay tuned for more details.
