Vans Warped Tour revival confirmed via founder Kevin Lyman, details to emerge in upcoming weeks

The long-rumored return of the Warped Tour has been officially confirmed by its founder, Kevin Lyman. Last week, Rock Feed reported that the iconic festival, which has been dormant since 2018, would make a comeback in 2025. 

However, this revival might not follow the traditional nationwide touring format. Instead, it's speculated that the 30th anniversary of the Warped Tour could be celebrated with a few large-scale destination festivals.

Rumors also suggest that Live Nation Entertainment may be involved in this iteration of the festival. Given Live Nation's success with events like the When We Were Young festival, it remains unclear exactly how Warped Tour's return will shape up. 

Speaking with Pollstar this week, Lyman confirmed, "We have something cooking for 2025. Details should be ready in a few weeks."
