WARPED TOUR RETURNS!
WHEN: July 26th & 27th, 2025
WHERE: Shoreline Waterfront, Long Beach, California
WHAT: Warped Tour 2025
Has The Lineup Dropped?!
Heck yes! Warped Tour announced their “30 days of Warped” from January 26th to February 26th, dropping a few artists every day. I can tell you that the suspense was absolutely killing me! From music + album teasers, to live instagram videos with the artists, I was at the edge of my seat every day. Kevin Lyman, the creator of Warped Tour, thought it would be important to spotlight smaller, less known bands in the beginning. This would give them exposure and let people check out their music before too much attention would be focused on the headliners.
Warped Tour, beginning in 1995, has always emphasized the importance of spotlighting new and local artists. Returning in 2025 for their 30th anniversary, they vowed to do the same. Although there was some pushback with this design, I know I’ve discovered some artists I probably never would have thought to even check out.
So…Who’s Coming?
The lineup is stacked! Going alphabetically with some must-see’s & starting off classic with 3OH!3, then 311, A Day To Remember, and Asking Alexandria. Then we have Black Veil Brides, Blackbear, Blessthefall, and Bowling For Soup. Up next are Bryce Vine, Cartel, Chiodos, Cobra Starship, and Common Sage. Following that, Dexter and the Moonrocks, Ekoh, Four Year Strong, and Gideon. Then we got, Honey Revenge, Ice-T, Johnnie Guilbert, Jxdn, and Landon Barker. Not to mention, Less Than Jake, Lil Lotus, Memphis May Fire, and Mom Jeans. Then, there’s New Years Day, Pennywise, Scene Queen, and Slaughter To Prevail. Up next are Sophie Powers, State Champs, Sunami, The All American Rejects, and The Barbarians of California. Lastly, there’s The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, The Wonder Years, We The Kings, and Yung Gravy.
I know that was a lot but that’s barely scratching the surface on all of the artists that will be at Warped this year! Not to mention, there’s still more artists that will be announced in May. Tickets are sold out but keep an eye out for those forfeiting their payment plans and you might be able to snag one! You can check out other punk lineups here.
Final Thoughts
Overall, I’m so excited that Warped Tour is returning and the emo kid in me is screaming! Returning with the same mission they started with, this year is going to be a blast. Warped Tour will also be visiting Orlando, Florida and Washington D.C., and if this year goes well, we might be getting Warped Tour in more cities next year!
The festival will also be featuring merch tents and, just like before, artists might show up to do signings and photos. They will also have food venues, drinks, and local charities you can visit and donate to! Warped Tour is back, baby – and I hope to see you guys there!
