Vans Warped Tour

The legendary Vans Warped Tour could make a return in 2025.
The traveling rock and punk tour, which launched in 1995, would celebrate its 30th anniversary next year, and founder Kevin Lyman hinted at its return earlier this week.

“We have something cooking for 2025,” Lyman told Pollstar. “Details should be ready in a few weeks.”

Warped Tour spent 24 years traveling around North America with acts like The Damned, Green Day, Incubus, AFI, Against Me!, Paramore, M.I.A., The Misfits and hundreds more before retiring the touring model in 2018.

“I’ve done everything I can in the format that this is in,” Lyman told Billboard at the tour’s final stop in West Palm Beach, Florida, In 2018. “It wasn’t supposed to be around 24 years. It wasn’t supposed to be around more than one year. But enough people saw what I was trying to do.”

In 2019, Warped Tour announced a slate of three 25th-anniversary editions in Ohio, New Jersey and California with a who’s-who of festival alumni including Blink-182, 311, Bad Religion, The All-American Rejects, Andrew W.K., Anti-Flag, Gym Class Heroes, The Offspring, Simple Plan, Bowling for Soup, Taking Back Sunday, Reel Big Fish, Less Than Jake and Good Charlotte.

Following the end of Warped Tour’s run, Lyman rebranded his 4Fini, which put on the annual Warped Tour events, to KLG (Kevin Lyman Group). The production and strategic branding group, KLG, continues to work on festivals and events throughout the industry.
