The Vans Warped Tour could be making a comeback in 2025, according to reports from Rock Feed. The once-iconic festival, which helped launch careers in punk and pop-punk, is rumored to return as a series of bicoastal destination events. Live Nation is said to be overseeing the revival, with founder Kevin Lyman involved in the planning.
However, it seems unlikely that the festival will return in its original traveling format due to the high costs of touring. When the tour ended in 2018, Lyman pointed to issues like elitism among bands and fans, along with some missteps in booking, as factors in the festival's demise.
As for now it does not look like Attila frontman Fronz is involved. Stay tuned for more updates on this story.
Host Brian Storm shared the following:
According to multiple sources familiar with the matter, Warped Tour will celebrate its anniversary with a series of festivals next year when Warped Tour returns in 2025. The rock festival will now be overseen by Live Nation, although Festival founder Kevin Lyman is said to be heavily involved. A request for comment from Live Nation was not returned.

Post CommentWill anti-flag be playing like the good old days? The "Spreader Bar Stage"?
so copying what mayhem fest returned with. hard pass. should be a traveling festival with all metalcore and 25 dollar tickets. do the right thing
Thank gawd! Bite my lip and close my eyes I need a fashion sense that takes me to avril and billie joe paradise!
Anyone remember the big brawl in Asbury Park with Fury of Five?
I have a close source that says Radke is quite interested in running the event.
43 yrs old. Was there at the first warped. My checkerboard suspenders got caught in the spokes of Mike Escamilla's BMX bike and as he rode away the unraveling of my plaid knee length shorts comepletely dismembered my penis. I had to wear my blood soaked MXPX wide beater like a skirt the rest of the evening. BUT I refused any and all medical assistance because I didn't want to kiss Lagwagon. I'll be there next year, front row with my Philippino wife and her six kids.
*miss* not kiss. But I did kiss a man in the parking lot.
Also, I'm an engineer at a Christian talk radio station.
When the tour ended in 2018, Lyman pointed to issues like elitism among bands and fans, along with some missteps in booking, as factors in the festival's demise. So no one wanted to attend nor play the warped tour. Good luck trying to revive this for a SECOND time
Jacob Bannon of Converge fame here. I saw Burn in 1990
Goddamn f*cking damn it. The inescapable flood of stupid f*cking obnoxious "elder emo" retards that are going to be completely incapable of SHUTTING THE f*ck UP about this. There will be no possible way to get on any sort of social media for the next 5 months without seeing some 32 year old onlyfans "alt goth" skank trying to relive her "glory days" from before she had to post hole online to pay rent. If only they had actually read a book or something instead of doing E in mall parking lots with creeps 10 years older than them. Not to be outdone, there's going to be plenty of pop punk groomers trying to tell a bunch of teenage girls how mature they are for they age and how they saw Pierce the Veil or some shit at warped tour 10 years ago, when they girl they're trying to get snapchat nudes from was shoving crayons up her nose in 1st grade. f*ck you, f*ck you, f*ck you. No one needs this. A stupid f*cking cash grab by nostalgia vampires centered around the worst f*cking.
Worst f*cking people imaginable. Grow the f*ck up and get a goddamn job you stupid f*cking pop punk alt goth whatever retards. May Allah strike down all warped tour enjoyers.
"no possible way to get on any sort of social media" 56 year old here, universally banned for dick pics and n-bombs. I hear you brother. I don't even listen to heavy music, this is just the only place I can legally post my opinions. What's your email? Let's chat,
tour was great back in the day. the early line-ups were all over the place, from Eminem to Six Feet Under (I'll never forget seeing a beet faced Chris Barnes in leather pants in the blazing sun). and then it went mallcore and died. some truly terrible bills in later years. like mayhem, no need to come back. that era is over. move on.
Featuring a grooming tent from One king down and Aj from Pittsburgh....just like the good ol days
Warped tour 99 was my first year, asbury park was a shithole. Eminem got pelted with water bottles while Toby h20 and Stikman were rocking out side stage
I wonder how many dorky core bands like Pain of Truth would do this tour. Probably a lot.
"^^ wasn't there." Definitely was. You were probably in diapers watching Barney while your mom was getting piped down by some black dude while your father was standing in the corner with a lampshade on his head and a duct tape chastity belt on his man pussy.
Cheers to anyone else who baked in the hot af July sun on the asphalt of River Bend in Cincinnati.
Ended it due to elitism.... so you partner with the elitists of touring in Live Nation?
Oh Mercy! 90s skate punks watching 2010s metalcore kids rail against 2000s emo kids. Who's got the cherry to top this fustercluck?
What the f*ck was the point of adding the Attila moment?
The guys who catch predators on tiktok are stoked. EXCUSE ME EVERYONE, THIS DRUMMER IS TALKING TO A 15 YEAR OLD GIRL
Trump here! THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE! VOTE FOR ME, I'M A COWARDLY PUSSY! Alpha out!!!
Last Warped Tour I went to had Candiria on it. Cant complain too much.
Confirmed bands so far: Paramore Turnstile-acoustic set 3OH!3 Scott Vogel-set of Despair, Terror, Buried Alive and Slugfest NOFX-performing every song they've ever done
anonymous 6 hours ago Jacob Bannon of Converge fame here. I saw Burn in 1990 😂😂😂

Anyone remember the big brawl in Asbury Park with Fury of Five? You mean remember when Stikman picked a fight with someone half his size. Dude was a roided up nutcase who bit off Rick Ta Life with the dreadlocks.
We The Kings will be performing a set of purely "Check Yes, Juliet" for 30 minutes straight while Travis Clark brags about how "fertile" he is
Live Nation and the guy from Attila both being involved does NOT give me any hopes for this
Lyman literally ended it just so he could bring it back more expensive.
Roy Rogers is coming back Circuit City is coming back Warped Tour is coming back I don't give a f*ck Warped Tour means nothing and never did
^what a retard you are. Warped was unique and hugely influential back in the day. It's time has passed but unlike you, at least it meant something once.

Stikman built my parents deck in keyport. My mom thought he was a tweaker trying to steal the construction supplies when he rolled up at 7am lol Had some good stories though
