Vans Warped Tour returns to Orlando for 30th Anniversary

ORLANDO Fl, (BLOOM) – Music fans, mark your calendars! The Vans Warped Tour , the legendary traveling music festival that defined summer for countless punk, alternative, and rock fans, is making an epic comeback to celebrate its 30th anniversary in 2025. Orlando is one of only three cities chosen for this special event, with a two-day festival scheduled at Camping World Stadium on November 15-16.

After its final cross-country run in 2018 and a memorable 25th anniversary event, the Warped Tour is back with a fresh twist. This time, Warped is partnering with Insomniac—the creative minds behind some of the world’s largest festivals, including Electric Daisy Carnival—to revamp the festival experience. Orlando will be buzzing with excitement as the city becomes a hotspot for nostalgic vibes and cutting-edge performances.

What to Expect: The Ultimate Warped Experience

The 2025 edition of Warped Tour promises a lineup of 70 to 100 bands, representing a wide range of genres from punk rock and alternative to pop punk and emo. Longtime fans can relive classic Warped moments, with legendary artists who have graced the tour in past decades—think Blink-182, Green Day, Paramore, Fall Out Boy, and My Chemical Romance—expected to make appearances. But Warped has always been about discovering new talent, and the 2025 lineup will also feature some of the hottest up-and-coming acts across the rock and punk scenes.

Fans can also look forward to iconic festival activities like the Ernie Ball Battle of the Bands, interactive art tents, meet-and-greets with artists, and nonprofit booths aimed at fostering a sense of community. Warped Tour has always been more than just a festival—it’s a movement that celebrates music, individuality, and camaraderie, and that spirit is returning full force.

Tickets, Pricing, and What’s New

Two-day presale tickets go on sale October 24 at 12 p.m. ET, with full weekend passes priced at $149.98, including all fees. Vans Warped Tour has always prided itself on being affordable, and this anniversary edition is no exception.

This time around, the festival isn’t just about nostalgia; it’s about creating a dynamic, modern experience for today’s fans. In addition to the classic festival elements, Warped Tour 2025 will introduce new immersive experiences like eco-initiatives and next-generation special effects from Insomniac’s playbook. Whether you’re a longtime Warped veteran or attending for the first time, Orlando’s stop will be packed with energy, art, and unforgettable music moments.

A Legacy of Music

For over two decades, the Vans Warped Tour has been a staple in the music world, providing a platform for now-legendary bands to make their mark. Past artists who got their start or made waves at Warped include Blink-182, Katy Perry, Fall Out Boy, NOFX, The Used, Paramore, and even hip-hop and pop acts like Machine Gun Kelly and Black Eyed Peas. With the 2025 tour, that legacy continues, as both seasoned fans and newcomers have the chance to celebrate Warped’s history while discovering the future of rock music.

“We’re not just bringing back Warped Tour for nostalgia’s sake,” says founder Kevin Lyman. “This return is about community, connection, and giving a new generation the chance to experience what made Warped so special in the first place.” His collaboration with Insomniac ensures that the festival will not only honor its iconic past but evolve with fresh, forward-thinking elements to keep it relevant for years to come.
