Vans Warped Tour announces first performers ahead of Orlando 2025 event

Vans Warped Tour is rising from the grave this year, and Orlando — one of just three cities to host the nostalgia-infused music fest — now has some big names to look forward to.

Vans Warped Tour launched Monday its “30 Days of Warped,” promising a month’s worth of daily announcements to name the performing artists set to take the stage in 2025. The fest celebrates Warped Tour’s 30-year anniversary with stops in Orlando; Washington, D.C.; and Long Beach, California, each featuring anywhere between 70 and 100 acts playing over two days.

The first musical performers announced include seasoned Warped Tour participants Simple Plan, Bowling for Soup, Pennywise and Miss May I. Dance Hall Crashers and Warped Tour first-timer Chandler Leighton are also on the bill.

The complete lineup will be unveiled incrementally over the next month, with artists announced daily through Feb. 26. Once all the performers are announced, the event’s lineup posters will be billed in alphabetical order to offer an equally bright spotlight to all.

This year’s tour will see each of the three host cities put on a two-day event, as opposed to the festival’s origins as a summertime cross-country traveling show. The tour comes in as a partnership with Insomniac, responsible for big-name music festivals like Electric Daisy Carnival.

Vans Warped Tour 2025 kicks off in D.C. June 14 to 15, makes a second stop in Long Beach July 26 to 27, and finally hits Orlando’s Camping World Stadium for the finale Nov. 15 to 16.

Tickets are on sale now.
