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

A billboard seen at the When We Were Young Festival advertises three Warped Tour events – June 14th and 15th in Washington DC, June 26th and 27th in Long Beach, California, and then November 15th and 16th in Orlando, Florida. The billboard at the top also notes that advance ticket sales will be increased on October 24th. So you can expect the line-up to be announced soon. Especially considering the founder of Warped Tour Kevin Lyman The details would be available in “a few weeks” in mid-September.

The Warped Tour originally started in 1995 as a traveling festival and ran until 2018. In 2019 there was a Warped Tour, but it only took place in Cleveland, Ohio; Atlantic City, New Jersey; and Mountain View, CA. So it looks like the 2025 edition will mirror the 2019 edition in terms of bigger events in fewer locations.

I think the real challenge with Warped Tour's return is the competition from festivals like When We Were Young, All Your Friends Fest, Sick New World and even Riot Fest, which already lean heavily into the nostalgia wave of the late '90s and early 2000s . Although Warped Tour is also a household name when it comes to festivals at the moment, they may be completely happy with the branding alone.
