The legendary Vans Warped Tour is officially making its return to celebrate 30 years of shaping alternative music culture. For the first time since 2019, the iconic festival will hit three cities, promising a massive lineup of roughly 100 bands. Founder Kevin Lyman is back at the helm, teaming up with Insomniac Events, who are partnered with Live Nation, to bring this milestone event to life.
The initial lineup, revealed by Variety, includes Simple Plan, Bowling For Soup, and the long-awaited reunion of Dance Hall Crashers. Other confirmed acts include Miss May I, Chandler Leighton, and Pennywise, with many more to be announced. The festival’s official social media channels have confirmed the news, with Kevin Lyman sharing his excitement:
“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!”
Chuck Comeau of Simple Plan offered:
“When we started hearing rumors that Warped Tour might be coming back in 2025, we were so excited! Warped has been a huge part of our journey as a band – from playing the smallest side-stage back in 2001 to the multiple cross-country treks over the years, the Warped Rewind at Sea cruise, Warped Australia and the final run in 2018, Warped has always felt like home.
We’re thrilled that so many pop-punk fans will get a chance to relive their best teenage summer memories one more time and that an entire new generation will get to experience what our scene is all about. Getting the chance to be a part of such an iconic festival once again is a privilege and we can’t wait to get our old Dickies shorts back on and rock Washington DC this summer!”

Logan Kerzie couldn’t have said it better myself
The first rollout only has 5 bands?
Jessi announcing a few a day for 30 days
Jessi Michelle Penroseand they all suck
Ratislav Nakamura yeah they all suck because a random nobody says so lol. its sold out already i think im sure no one gonna care if you think the line up sucks they will continue on without you. the world revolves aroun you and they only get bands you think are good lol
Ratislav Nakamura then don’t go that simple no one music taste is based on what a random nobody thinks so people will go who likes it and people who don’t won’t go that simple everyone has their own taste in music
Jamison Plakon you suck too
Jamison Plakonnot true Jamison.
Ratislav Nakamura im just saying i see these people getting worked up oh the line up sucks or blah blah they announced like 4 bands so far lol and they already stated the line up would be a mixture of older bands and newer bands and in between lol
Ratislav Nakamura its 1 thing if they had like 30 40 bands announced already and then people were complaining but after like 3 bands lol
Only good band so far is miss may i
Shane Black you must have bad taste in music. I’m a huge punk rocker I’m a huge email Guy huge Indy so just get over it shut the fuck up

How are we not making a bigger deal about the dance hall crashers reunion
Ryan Griffin it’s cool but I only listened to compilation tracks, never really looked into them beyond that
Jon Smith I grew up in San Diego in the 90s. They were one of the many bands on rotation
Ryan Griffin I might go just for them
Isn’t the point of a tour that all the same bands play at each date? I mean there’s only three.
David Carriglitto it’s not a tour though. Just separate festivals unconnected
David Carriglitto warped tour always had some artists who only did portions of the tour. That’s not new.
This isn’t warped tour this is just shitty overpriced nostalgia festivals using the name.
The real thing was a traveling circus of counterculture art music and skateboarding.
This is overpriced bowling for soup and simple plan tickets.
Wyll McLaughlin and funny enough those are the types of bands that ruined warped tour along with the emo/screamo. I want pennywise, guttermouth, the Vandals, Rancid, Against All Authority, suicide machines, mad caddies, toasters, old AFI, Reel Big Fish and LTJ for nostalgia lol and many more
But i saw pennywise not long ago with Dropkick and I was just an ok show. Aging punks aren’t as entertaining lol
Jon Smith first year I went i saw the circle jerks and the exploited NOFX Lars Fredricksen and the bastards and dropkick Murphy’s (among countless others) for 35 dollars.
A few years later it was all terribly watered down pop punk and coheed and Cambria.
And it just continued to fall off from there
Jon Smith not true I saw the addicts not long ago still a fucking blast like it was 20 years ago.
Jon Smith falling in reverse red jumpsuit
Jon Smith yeah no kidding, they ruined warped tour for the 27 insufferable whiners that listen to 2 genres of music and get legitimately angry when a festival has the nerve to bring on bands that they don’t listen to.
“The fucking audacity to broaden Warped Tour to genres that *I* don’t like.”
get a fucking grip
Jon Smith they didnt ruin warped tour you just didnt like it and dont realize things have to grow with the times people wouldnt complain and want it back if it was ruined oh no it didnt stay the way i wanted it to stay so its ruined lol
Alex Maxwell im tired of people complaining like that its like grow up warped tour has always been for the younger crowds and young crowds dont want to see 20 plus year old bands they want to see current bands that they liked at the time why people kept going still liked it. oh warped tour is ruined because a few people want the same bands to play forever lol. like they always tried to make it current for the next generation. like if warped tour started in the 70s and it was so and so 70s band would you want people in the 90s when pennwysie nofx etc was playing would you want to hear people oh warped tour was better back in the day it sucks now in the 90s lol
Jon Smith thats the warp i know..
Roberto Hawkins no and no
Jamison Plakon it died didn’t it, was still peaking in the era I speak of
Jon Smith it didnt because you say so bro lol i never went to warped tour but people still liked it and still went up until they stopped doing it. just because you didnt like the bands anymore doesnt man other people didnt. bands change bands grow you cant just keep having the same bands from 20 years ago you gotta have current bands that draw people in young people deserve to have bands they like play what pennywise and nofx and only punk bands from 90s should play and never any other bands because you dont like it lol. if people were still going and still enjoying it and complaining about it being over and want it back they must of done something right.
Jon Smith you have to understand this is just your opinion and not fact just because you cant accept other people like bands you dont like.
Jon Smith I’m with you man. I was there in 95 and it was what I built my whole teen identity on. Take me back please.
Jon Smith oddly enough, we were on the same warped tours with all those bands. (Except Guttermouth)
More bands coming. It’s gonna be awesome!
Apparently he’s got no response to the singer of one of the bands that “ruined” warped tour hah.
Wyll McLaughlin overpriced? It was $200 for a two day festival…. Cheaper than literally all festivals pretty much
Alec Burriss and again it used to cost 35 dollars for an entire day of actual decent bands not bowling for soup and simple plan.
Wyll McLaughlin yeah bro we get it, it isn’t 2005 anymore
Alec Burriss I just think they shouldn’t use the name as a cash grab and act like it’s the same thing when all they are doing is booking bands that haven’t released an album in 15 years and charging you 200 dollars to see bands that aren’t worth 40.
Wyll McLaughlin but Kevin Lyman is still behind it all so what you mean using the name… it’s his name he made lmao
Rebecca Exum that’s actually even worse.
Lyman let a bunch of creepy ass pedopoppunk bands stay on the later warped tours after they were accused of preying on little girls and that’s what drove most of the fans away from the original tour runs.
Wyll McLaughlin i was just saying no one is using the warped tour name to make money lol they are using it bc that’s what they are doing and if you just wanna sit here and complain that’s fine I guess. Just seems very “back in my day” we know it’s 2025 idk what you expect?!?! Yes let’s bring back the same line up from 30 years ago and prices!! Yeah fucking right lol
I went to warped tour for 11 years in a row. Im just happy I can make it for a 12th
Alec Burriss not everyone paid 200 dollars, each tier the price got higher and higher. But for those who paid a good price the price is still good for two days of music.
Wyll McLaughlin dude they announced like 3 bands out of the whole line up you dont know what the rest of the line up is and your complaining plus people like simple plan. plus at warped tour they had multiple stages so you couldnt see as many bands they over lapped. this show migth have 1 or 2 stages so you can see more bands to get your money worth plus these bands are also way bigger then back in the day when they played so that why its gonna cost more
Alec Burriss ??? 200 for a two day festival is literally not bad. that’s pretty normal uh
Rebecca Exum seriously, everyone just wants to complain. sorry you can’t afford it as an adult after mommy and daddy bought your tickets as a teen 💀 besides I really don’t even think they’re that overpriced. it’s pretty normal. I’m just upset I have to travel so far if I want to go 😭
Wyll There is 29 more days of band announcements to go. I hope it turns around for you
The Mosh Network shitty to have bands released on certain days! Sucks for people that bought tickets
Payje Angeline Yeoman just wait until they’re all announced then?
Wyll McLaughlin thanks, negative nancy. How are those 9 people enjoying your bar shows?
Brandon Simmons he complaining about the line up when they literally only announced like 3 or 4 bands like seriously lol wait till like 20 30 plus bands are announced then come back or wait till the full line up comes out lol
Wyll McLaughlin you dont even know what the full line up is they said there gonna announce new bands everyday your getting mad when only like 3 or 4 bands have been announced. plus he said if it goes well they will expand next year to more cities
Wyll McLaughlin plus people like simple plan and bowling for soup and those are bands that were on warped tour just because you might not like those bands you cant please everyone no matter what the line up is
Wyll McLaughlin you sound poor as FUCK lmao ggs tho bum
It should be the full tour. Which includes Calgary, AB!!!
Jimmy Hawthorne Warped in Calgary was awesome.
Fuck warped tour , a 3 stop show ? Isn’t a tour at all . It’s a money grab ..

Join Warped Tour 2025 for all the details!
Who gives a shit. It’s 2 days of live music and a good time. Worth my money. What kind of prices were you expecting in today’s economy.
James A Heck James gets it!!
Warped tour was always a massive group of bands.. a huge venue.. this isn’t.. how it use to be what so ever 😭 it’s probably super over priced as well! What the hell!
Michelle there’s a part of the article that mentions that there are over 100 planned and they are dropping a few names a day for 30 days…
Michelle Goldbeck “first confirmed bands”
Michelle Goldbeck look then dont go complaining about isnt going to change anything things arent like it use to be oh well. i understand your allowed to be upset but things go away and there never the same oh well we cant have something forever. i dont get what complaining or saying bad line up is going to do its already sold out from what i herd so nothing going to change. you cant please everyone no matter what the prices are or the line up is or what cities they go to etc.
Michelle Goldbeck you have to learn to read, if anything for the good of everyone around you
Go to Louder Than Life, Sonic Temple, Inkarceration etc instead. Warped is dead and doesn’t stand for what it once did. DWP is running fantastic festivals all over the country!
Jack Carroll or people can do and go to what they want and doesnt have to listen to you let people do what they want idk why it bothers you how peopel choose to spend there money or what festival they go to
Jamison Plakon it doesn’t bother me lol. Just see a lot of people unhappy with Warped and may not be aware of other options. I stated my opinion and you’re pressed about it. Take your own advice. Let people think what they want.
I need more to be announced! I am impatient.
Too bad tickets are $400 now
Sorry, I don’t count 3 2-day events in just a small amount of cities a tour. This is even a shadow of what the first warped tour was. 100% money grab, Kevin should be ashamed, and hell not even talking about the cost of tickets. Fuck that.
Josh Frazier calling something a money grab isnt the put down you think it is everything is a money grab because they do stuff to make mone yso explain to how money grab is a put down? lol plus its a money grab why? because there not running it the way you want them to do so that makes it a money grab. i
Josh Frazier warped tour back in the day was also a money grab everything is you create stuff to try and make money its a buisness lol.
Honestly,I’m kinda glad I didn’t get presale tickets..Pennywise is the only band I’d like to see again and I saw them a few times last year
How can you call it warped tour with three stops and six bands.
Troy Klassen
Testing the waters. There’s still like a hundred or so other bands to announce.
I would love to see miss may i, however not for that much..
It needs to be in more than three cities.
Hey anybody want to buy some VIP tickets to Orlando…. If the lineups get any worse I might just f****** give them away
Brian Comstock if you want to give them away I’ll take them for free
Nope
Boooooo
Glad I didn’t buy tickets, figured it wasn’t going to be the same!
Don’t care, Tsunami Sea tour coming up
Devon Lee that’s awesome. I got tickets to go see stick to your guns in April and I’m super excited for that. Would love to see Spirit box. Haven’t had a chance to see them play yet. I did however see I wrestled a bear once years ago when Courtney was doing her thing

Bring back mayhem fest fuck warped tour
“Old punks don’t die, they just cash in” -Youth Brigade
John Elric old punks are mostly divorced listening to round 2 of the songs that made them feel connected at 15-16 years old because they were different. We need that back. Badly.
Simple plan
$260 for general admission you got me fucked up I paid 50$ for general admission in Vegas for 2018 show Covid ruined everything especially concerts good luck to the people who buy tickets it’s probably gonna cancel just like sick new world thanks to price gouging
Josh Salinas you’re right I check for tickets today surprise vip was four hundred something I think it’s going to flop
Way over priced!!
Noone young plays instruments anymore.
Dylan Wilson conservatives thought music classes in schools was unnecessary.
Please come to toronto Canada this is something I used to go to every year it would be a dream to go again with my friends who I used to go with and just relive warptout
What im really waiting on is the Mayhem Fest tour dates and line up.
Yay only 3 unimportant garbage cities
Anyone who went to a REAL Warped Tour Festival HAS to be disappointed in thus bullshit
Kyrsten Johnson I went to 10 of them and I’m stoked!
Jaret Reddick enjoy!
Not a bad lineup so far!!! Nothing compared to early 2000’s though lol and of course you’re stoked you guys are performing lol!!! wish I could make it just for Bowling For Soup and of course Pennywise but US travel is currently trying a no no for me!!!!
Kyrsten Johnson I went to 8 of them. I also am stoked!
So far not worth the money
So far the only band with seeing is Dance Hall Crashers
I’m stoked! But I admit, I know the rest of the bands. 🙂
Jaret Reddick if only the beans could be spilled!!
Mika Douglas or the soup…
Jaret Reddick just tell me, nobody will know 🫢
Jaret Reddick shhhh it’s okay. Spill the soup. Knock the pins over.
WWWY festival is more Vans Warped than Vans Warped 😅
Lol warped tour. Mores like warped shows.
NICE
So far, not impressed
Fishbone has also been announced
Today’s announcements:
Fever 333
Fishbone
LØLØ
Another announcment:
https://springgreen-caribou-353428.hostingersite.com/warped-tour-30th-anniversary-adds-senses-fail-lacey-sturm-state-champs-the-starting-line/
Wow it seems late to be putting together a huge tour like this but HELL YEAH. I’ll be waiting for the Dallas show.
Ya know? Warped was cool bc you could find new bands for a low price. It was a fun gathering of like minded youth. All this new shit is a bunch of old people wishing they were young again with bands that everyone already knows for a high price. I proudly say fuck this new warped tour sell out shit. It goes against everything WHY warped was awesome. Fuck Kevin and fuck the bands for participating in this nonsense.
Glad I don’t have a ticket
I like how it’s “celebrating 30 years” but hasn’t even existed for the last 6 years. 🙄
