Warped Tour Announces First Six Artists, Dates & Location

The Vans Warped Tour is back in 2025 and we’ve finally got some actual concrete information. Today, organizers have unveiled their first six bands – Warped Tour veterans Simple Plan, Bowling for Soup, Pennywise, and Miss May I; alongside Dance Hall Crashers, who will be reuniting after 20 years, and Chandler Leighton. So not exactly a heavy music fan’s wet dream, but we’ll see what happens.

As for the full lineup, it’ll be yet another social media drip announcement like every other festival these days. Per a statement from Warped Tour organizers: “The complete lineup will be revealed over the next 30 days, with new artists announced daily until February 26. Each announcement will feature unique, artist-created content shared on the official Warped social channels.”

Vans Warped Tour founder and organizer Kevin Lyman added: “Putting together a lineup is never an easy task, but each act, both new and returning, plays an important role in delivering an unforgettable experience for fans, especially at the price point we’re offer. We collaborated closely with the bands to create some exciting surprises, exclusive content, and more for fans to enjoy. So follow along, soak in the journey, and who knows—you might just discover your next favorite band!”
