Warped Tour is BACK!!!
Founder Kevin Lyman has confirmed that the iconic punk-rock festival that defined a generation will be back in 2025, which happens to match up with the festival’s 30th anniversary.
Lyman revealed the exciting news in a recent interview with Pollstar, teasing, “We have something cooking for 2025. Details should be ready in a few weeks.” While he didn’t provide specifics on the lineup, dates, or locations, the anticipation is already building for all of us punk, rock, and alternative music fans.
Per Consequence of Sound, Warped Tour’s comeback was rumored earlier this month when the YouTube channel Rock Feed reported that “multiple sources familiar with the matter” had confirmed its 2025 return. The report also mentioned that Live Nation would now be managing the event, with Lyman’s specific role in the festival’s reboot still unknown.
Warped Tour has had a massive impact over the years. From 1995 to its final run in 2019, it was the ultimate destination for fans of punk, rock, and alternative music. Legendary bands like Blink-182, Green Day, Paramore, A Day to Remember, and many more graced its stages, and it provided a platform for rising stars in the music world. It’ll be so exciting to hear who will be taking the stage after the six year break, whether that be newcomers or returning bands, and the expectations will surely be high.
Fans have been posting their excitement about the return on social media. From wondering who the lineup will be, to reminiscing about past festival years, they are ready for Warped Tour to make its comeback.
