Vans Warped Tour Returns for 30th Anniversary with Huge Lineup Featuring Simple Plan, Bowling for Soup, and More

The Vans Warped Tour is back and bigger than ever for its 30th anniversary! The iconic music festival is making a grand return with three two-day festivals featuring a massive lineup of 70 to 100 bands, combining legendary acts from past tours with fresh new talent.

Three Cities, Three Huge Festivals

The 2025 Warped Tour will hit Washington, D.C. (June 14-15) at the Festival Grounds at RFK Campus, Long Beach, CA (July 26-27) at Downtown Long Beach Shoreline Waterfront, and Orlando, FL (November 15-16) at Camping World Stadium Campus. Tickets are available now on the official Vans Warped Tour website.

First Wave of Performers Announced

The first wave of artists includes fan-favorites Simple Plan, Bowling for Soup, Dance Hall Crashers, Miss May I, Chandler Leighton, and Pennywise. Organizers plan to roll out more artists every day for the next month with their “30 Days of Warped” series, ending on February 26.

Bands Reflect on the Warped Tour Legacy

  • Simple Plan will perform at the Washington, D.C. dates, marking their return to the festival after over a decade of participation. Drummer Chuck Comeau shared his excitement: “Warped has always been like home for us. From playing the smallest stages back in 2001 to the final run in 2018, it’s been a huge part of our journey. We can’t wait to relive those summers and show a whole new generation what pop-punk is all about!”
  • Bowling for Soup is set to perform in D.C. and Long Beach and will celebrate the tour’s return by releasing a cover of Blink-182’s classic, “The Rock Show.” Lead singer Jaret Reddick said, “When we heard Warped Tour was coming back, the first thing that popped into my head was the lyric, ‘I couldn’t wait for the summer and the Warped Tour.’ We’re so pumped to be part of this!”
  • After nearly 30 years since their only Warped appearance, ska-punk legends Dance Hall Crashers will reunite for the first time in two decades to play in D.C. and Long Beach. Co-lead vocalist Elyse Rogers said, “Kevin Lyman is the only person who could convince us to do this. It feels like a punk rock high school reunion!”
  • Miss May I, Chandler Leighton, and Pennywise are locked in to play at all three dates, bringing their own signature energy to the stages.

Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman shared his thoughts on the anniversary event: “Putting together a lineup is never easy, but every act plays a role in creating an unforgettable experience for fans—especially with the price point we’re offering. We’ve worked closely with bands to add exciting surprises, exclusive content, and more. So follow along, soak in the journey, and maybe even discover your next favorite band!”

A Legendary Lineup with Surprises Ahead

With a blend of returning Warped Tour veterans and rising stars, the 2025 edition promises to deliver a perfect mix of nostalgia and fresh energy. Fans can look forward to more announcements, exclusive performances, and some exciting surprises as the “30 Days of Warped” continues.

Mark your calendars—this is shaping up to be a celebration of punk rock, pop-punk, and everything in between that fans won’t want to miss!
