Insomniac To Partner With Vans Warped Tour For 30th Anniversary Return In 2025

The Vans Warped Tour is back and Insomniac is getting in on the fun.

The powerhouse rave promoter has unveiled a new partnership with the iconic punk-rock festival for its 30th anniversary return in 2025, announced today.

Three decades on from its launch in 1995, Warped Tour 2025 will open at Washington, D.C.’s RFK Festival Grounds on June 14-15, 2025, before traveling to Long Beach, California’s Shoreline Waterfront on July 26-27 and Orlando, Florida’s Camping World Stadium campus on November 15-16.

Each two-day stop will feature performances from 70 to 100 bands across genres “including but not limited to rock, punk-rock, alternative, pop-punk, emo, and more,” according to a press release. Lineups will be announced at a later date, but organizers say the 2025 run will “honor the tour’s iconic history while shining a spotlight on the next generation of artists.”

Notable performers from previous years include renowned acts like blink-182, Katy Perry, Fall Out Boy, NOFX, Green Day, Paramore, Machine Gun Kelly, My Chemical Romance, and many more. Warped Tour’s final cross-country tour came to a close in 2018, though the event was revived the following year for a shorter 25th anniversary celebration.

Though it remains unclear exactly how the partnership will play out in practice, Warped Tour’s link-up with Insomniac is said to reflect a shared vision and focus on community from the two scene-leading brands.

“We’ve seen how music continues to unite and inspire, and this return isn’t just about nostalgia—it’s about giving a new generation the chance to feel that same sense of belonging and freedom that Warped has always championed,” Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman said in a press release. “Insomniac is a company I’ve always admired, so when the opportunity to collaborate arose, I couldn’t say no. I thought, why the hell not? Let’s dive in and make this happen!”

“It’s very exciting to partner with Kevin to bring Warped Tour back,” Insomniac founder Pasquale Rotella added. “He’s built an incredible legacy that celebrates the heart of live music and we’re energized to create a rad festival that honors the spirit of Warped Tour. We both prioritize culture and community and focus on keeping the fan experience at the forefront which is why this partnership feels so natural.”

Two-day tickets for Warped Tour 2025 will go on sale here starting October 24 at 9AM PT (12PM ET). Visit vanswarpedtour.com for more information as it is announced.
