Calling all millennial emos and punk lovers, grab your Vans or Converse because Warped Tour is officially returning in 2025.
Vans Warped Tour, recognized as one of the most successful and longest-running punk rock festivals of its kind, is making a return for its 30th anniversary, taking over parking lots in three different cities for two-day shows, including Long Beach on July 26-27 at Downtown Long Beach Shoreline Waterfront. The fest will also be making an appearance in Washington, D.C. at the Festival Grounds at RFK Campus on June 14-15 and wrapping up Orlando, FL at Camping World Stadium Campus on Nov. 15-16.
After concluding (what the festival said at the time) was the “final” cross-country trek in 2018 and hosting a 25th-anniversary event that extended into the following year, the iconic festival will have a continued focus on community and nurturing the next generation of artists, musicians, and skateboarders.
Each stop will showcase 70 to 100 bands, reflecting a wide range of genres including but not limited to rock, punk rock, alternative, pop punk, emo, and more. The return of Vans Warped Tour will combine beloved festival favorites from the last 30 years of Warped Tour as well as a diverse lineup of newer acts.
Two-day weekend passes start at $149.98, available for presale beginning at 9 a.m. Oct. 24th at vanswarpedtour.com.

We both prioritize culture and community and focus on keeping the fan experience at the forefront, which is why this partnership feels so natural.”
