Specifically, the Warped Tour will take place on June 14 and 15 at the RFK Stadium Festival Grounds in Washington, DC; Shoreline Waterfront (Marina Green Park) in Long Beach on June 26 and 27; and Camper World Stadium Campus (Tinker Field) in Orlando on November 15 and 16.

Founder Kevin Lyman said The Rolling Stones He was inspired to restart the Warped Tour after not seeing another festival top it. “Ever since 1997, I've said that I was hoping that there was some kid in a garage that would come out and kick Kevin Lyman's ass one day and have a better festival. When something goes away people start to think it was important, it was fun – and I'm hoping to recover a lot of that again.”

While the Warped Tour won't criss-cross the States as a nationwide tour as it did for most of its initial run, Lyman isn't ruling out adding more cities in the future. “My body won't ride a tour bus for 40 cities,” he admits. “If it works, we'll look to the future to do more.”

No bands have been announced yet, but Lyman promises fans can expect 70-100 acts at each stop. “We're being very, very selective about trying to find some unique twists in the lineup,” he commented.

Lyman stressed that he didn't want Warped Tour to be a nostalgia fest, adding. “I've always felt that we have to pay homage to the past, but we're looking to the future as artists and communities.”

The Warped Tour initially ran from 1995 to 2019. Over the years, bands such as Blink-182, My Chemical Romance, Paramore, Some 41, and Fall Out Boy have made notable runs at touring festivals.

Stay tuned when the lineup is announced for the three Warped Tour events taking place in 2025.
