Looks Like Warped Tour Is Back For Three, Two-Night Festivals In 2025

Warped Tour is coming back in 2025, though it looks like it'll be three separate two-day events across the United States rather than a full-on tour.

A billboard seen at the When We Were Young festival advertises three Warped Tour events – June 14 and 15 in Washington DC, June 26 and 27 in Long Beach, CA, and then November 15 and 16 in Orlando, FL. The top of the billboard also advertises that ticket pre-sales go up on October 24, so expect a lineup announcement soon. Especially considering Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman said details would be ready in "a few weeks" back in mid-September.

Warped Tour originally kicked off as a traveling festival in 1995 and ran up until 2018. There was a Warped Tour 2019, though that one only took place in Cleveland, OH; Atlantic City, NJ; and Mountain View, CA. So it seems like the 2025 edition is going to mirror the 2019 edition, in terms of bigger events happening in less places.

I think the real challenge with Warped Tour coming back now is the competition of festivals like When We Were Young, All Your Friends Fest, Sick New World, and even Riot Fest already leaning hard into the late '90s and early 2000s nostalgia wave. Though Warped Tour is also a household name at this point in terms of festivals, so maybe they'll be totally fine on just the branding alone.
