Here’s when the first Vans Warped Tour 2025 announcement is dropping

Ahead of this year’s big return, Vans Warped Tour are teasing when their first announcement will be.

The legendary travelling fest is set to kick off 2025 in strong fashion, with a countdown over at vanswarpedtour.com launching on January 1, and finishing up on January 27 – so fingers crossed that means we’ll be finding out the line-up in just a few weeks, when the timer ends.

Having concluded its historic format in 2018, Warped Tour will celebrate its 30-year anniversary in 2025, stopping off in Washington, D.C., Florida and California for three special dates.

Previously, they promised that they would be hosting ‘a wide range of genres including but not limited to rock, punk rock, alternative, pop punk, emo’.

“People are craving connection, live music, and the raw, unfiltered experience that Warped has always offered,” announced Warped founder Kevin Lyman in October 2024. “We’ve seen how music continues to unite and inspire, and this return isn’t just about nostalgia – it’s about giving a new generation the chance to feel that same sense of belonging and freedom that Warped has always championed. Insomniac is a company I’ve always admired, so when the opportunity to collaborate arose, I couldn’t say no. I thought, ‘Why the hell not?’ Let’s dive in and make this happen!”
