Is Vans reviving the Warped Tour?

Is Vans Warped Tour making a comeback?

A popular YouTube channel tested the possibility that Vans could bring back its era-defining Warped Tour, which began in 1995 and ended after the 2018 tour.

Here’s the latest on a possible return of the Vans Warped Tour.

Vans Warped Tour 2025

YouTube rock news channel Rock Feed reports that the legendary Vans Warped Tour may be gearing up for a return in 2025, coinciding with the festival’s 30th anniversary.

“Multiple sources close to the matter indicate that Warped Tour will celebrate its milestone with a series of festivals next year,” Rock Feed host Brian Storm said. “The festival will now be managed by Live Nation, though founder Kevin Lyman is expected to remain significantly involved. Live Nation has yet to respond to our request for comment.”

Still, it’s only speculative for now, and there has been no official confirmation from organizers or Vans about the festival’s return next year.

When did Warped Tour end?

Warped Tour announced its final season in 2018, marking the end of the nation’s largest traveling music festival and the longest-running music festival in North America.

However, the iconic festival had one more celebration in store. In 2019, Warped Tour returned for a special 25th Anniversary edition, though it was limited to just three locations: Pomona, California; Atlantic City, New Jersey; and Dallas, Texas.

Many festivalgoers and fans felt misled by the 2019 announcement, as the 2018 Warped Tour was billed as the final cross-country tour. The festival’s return the following year, albeit in a reduced scope, led to some feeling that the earlier announcement was misleading.
