Warped Tour Unveils Initial 2025 Bands Including Simple Plan, Pennywise & 311

Staying true to its artist development roots, Warped Tour is rolling out its 2025 acts one at a time, with a handful of bands announced per day over 30 days. On Monday the festival confirmed Simple Plan, Dance Hall Crashers, Pennywise, Bowling For Soup, Miss May I and Chandler Leighton. Drain, Saturdays At Your Place, The Maine, 311 and Honey Revenge were announced on Tuesday.

Some acts are playing all three stops – Washington, D.C.; Long Beach, California; and Orlando, Florida – while other bands will take the stage at just one or two locations.

As Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman explained in a Reddit AMA earlier this month: “We announce the lineup over time for multiple reasons. It allows everyone to learn a little bit about each act on the lineup – with a spread out lineup, the developing bands have the ability to get more exposure from audiences who may not have known about them. We’re all about artist development at Vans Warped Tour! By being flexible with announcements, it allows bands to continue doing things outside of Warped.”

Follow Warped Tour on social media for more lineup announcements.

Warped Tour begins at The Fields At RFK Campus in Washington, D.C., June 14-15. In July the festival heads to Long Beach for a July 26-27 stop at the Shoreline Waterfront and in November Warped Tour lands at Orlando’s Camping World Stadium Campus Nov. 15-16.

The 2025 edition, which is being organized with electronic dance music promoter Insomniac, marks the traveling festival’s 30th anniversary. Tickets went on sale in October 2024. Tickets to Orlando are still available. A post on Warped Tour’s website says D.C. and Long Beach are sold out but fans can join the waitlist.

The final fully-fledged, cross-country Warped Tour took place in 2018, playing 38 shows and grossing more than $19.4 million, with 542,908 tickets sold. The festival most recently took place in 2019 with events in three cities in honor of Warped’s 25th anniversary.

Lyman spoke to Pollstar in December about Warped Tour’s return. Check out that interview below.

Warped Tour is taking preorders for special 30th anniversary T-shirts and hoodies, which will benefit L.A. fire relief efforts. A post on Warped Tour’s website says, “100% of net proceeds will benefit Unite the United, supporting relief efforts for the devastating Southern California wildfires. These fires have taken an unimaginable toll, with countless families and communities impacted—including our very own Kevin Lyman, who stood side by side with neighbors to defend their homes. Now, we’re calling on YOU to join us in this mission. Together, let’s help rebuild the California community that so many artists, musicians, fans, and families proudly call home.”
