The Vans Warped Tour is making a highly anticipated return in 2025, celebrating its 30th anniversary with three major two-day festivals in Washington, D.C.; Long Beach, California; and Orlando, Florida.
The first round of artist announcements includes Warped Tour staples Simple Plan, Bowling for Soup, Pennywise, and Miss May I. The Warped Tour will also see the long-awaited reunion of ska-punk favorites Dance Hall Crashers, who are returning to the stage after 20 years, and rising pop-rock artist Chandler Leighton.
The six acts are just the beginning, with organizers planning to reveal additional names daily until Feb. 26 via Warped Tour’s social media platforms.

Partnering with Insomniac—the production powerhouse behind Electric Daisy Carnival Las Vegas—Warped Tour 2025 aims to merge its punk rock spirit with elevated festival production. Each stop will showcase between 70 and 100 bands, spanning genres such as punk rock, pop punk, emo, alternative, and more.
“The complete lineup will be revealed over the next 30 days, with new artists announced daily until February 26. Each announcement will feature unique, artist-created content shared on the official Warped social channels,” Warped Tour organizers said in a statement, as per Metal Injection.
Vans Warped Tour founder and organizerKevin Lyman added: “Putting together a lineup is never an easy task, but each act, both new and returning, plays an important role in delivering an unforgettable experience for fans, especially at the price point we’re offer. We collaborated closely with the bands to create some exciting surprises, exclusive content, and more for fans to enjoy. So follow along, soak in the journey, and who knows—you might just discover your next favorite band!”
Since its debut in 1995, the Vans Warped Tour has been a cornerstone of alternative music culture, launching the careers of acts like Paramore, Blink-182, and My Chemical Romance, and providing a stage for countless others.
