Attention to all emos! Warped Tour is returning in 2025, just in time for its 30th anniversary. The festival that shaped your teenage years is ready to blow your mind all over again. With just three massive stops planned, the hype is real. Clear your calendar for Washington, D.C, Long Beach, California, and Orlando Florida. It’s time to dust off those old band tees and get ready for a wild ride.
Founder Kevin Lyman couldn’t be more pumped. When discussing the plans to bring back the beloved festival he stated:
People are craving connection, live music, and the raw, unfiltered experience that Warped has always offered. 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.
This isn’t just some nostalgia fueled reunion tour– it’s a full throttle, community-driven event for a new generation. Warped Tour was always about more than the music; it was the culture, the friendships, and that feeling of absolute freedom. There was nothing quite like pulling up to the gates of Warped Tour at 8am, and meeting new friends while you waited in line.
Of course, Lyman isn’t coming back alone. This time around, Insomniac is jumping into the mix. Insomniac is known for their next-level productions and this festival will be no expectation. And with Pasquale Rotella of Insomniac on board, this partnership feels like a match made in heaven.
So, what can fans expect from Warped 2025?
Prepare for a stacked lineup featuring 70 to 100 bands per stop. The festival will host various genres from rock, punk-rock, alternative, pop-punk, emo, and more. Those familiar with the Warped Tour style will remember heavy hitters like Blink-182, Katy Perry, Bowling For Soup, The Used, and more. The highly-anticipated lineup has not yet been announced, but we are excited to see what will to come.
The return of Warped is not just for the seasoned fans who lived and breathed the festival in its prime. Warped Tour is bringing the fire for a new crowd too. Whether you grew up with Warped or you’re just discovering the magic for the first time, this tour promises to deliver that same rebellious “lets-do-this” energy. It’s where lifelong memories are made either in the sweaty mosh pit, or belting out every word to your favorite songs.
