Warped Tour's been rolling out lineup announcements for the past month, and on Wednesday (February 26) the festival unveiled almost every band that will be playing each of the three comeback dates.
The bands are listed in alphabetical order on each poster, so there are no clear headliners; however, here are some notable names at each stop:
Washington, D.C: All Time Low, Asking Alexandria, Avril Lavigne, Bowling for Soup, Fishbone, Ice Nine Kills, Less Than Jake, Of Mice & Men, Pennywise, Senses Fail, Simple Plan, Slaughter to Prevail, Sublime, We Came As Romans, and more.
Long Beach: A Day to Remember, Asking Alexandria, Better Lovers, Black Veil Brides, Body Count, Bowling for Soup, Escape the Fate, Fever 333, Gogol Bordello, Hawthorne Heights, Ho99o9, Ice Nine Kills, Less Than Kake, letlive., Mod Sun, Pennywise, Senses Fail, Simple Plan, Slaughter to Prevail, The All-American Rejects, The Interrupters, and others.
Orlando: A Day to Remember, Asking Alexandria, Better Lovers, Black Veil Brides, Drain, Falling in Reverse, Gym Class Heroes, Less Than Jake, Pennywise, The Interrupters, Thursday, Yellowcard, and more.
Although the lineups are nearly full, there are still some blank spaces. A final announcement is expected to happen before May 19.
Back in October, founder Keven Lyman revealed why he decided to re-launched Warped Tour six years after announcing its end. “Since 1997, I said I was hoping that there was some kid in a garage that was going to come out and kick Kevin Lyman’s a** someday, and put on a better festival," he explained. "People start remembering once something’s gone that it was important, it was fun — and I’m hoping to recapture a lot of that again.”
He also explained why the festival won't be traversing the whole country like it has in the past. “My body won’t take riding around on a tour bus for 40 cities,” he admitted. “If it works, we’ll look to the future to do more.”
Warped Tour 2025 will take place June 14 & 15 at the RFK Stadium Festival Grounds in Washington, D.C; the Shoreline Waterfront in Long Beach on June 26 & 27; and Camper World Stadium Campus in Orlando on November 15 & 16. See the tour posters below.
