Vans Warped Tour returns to Orlando in 2025

After years of silence, one of the most iconic festivals in alternative music is officially back. The Vans Warped Tour is roaring into Orlando’s Camping World Stadium for a two-day grand finale this November 15-16, and the nearly full 2025 lineup is everything fans could hope for – and more.

Once a rite of passage for emo, punk, and hardcore fans across the country, Warped Tour bowed out in 2019. But in celebration of its 30th anniversary, the tour has been resurrected for a limited run of three cities: Washing D.C. (June 14-15), Long Beach (July 26-27), and Orlando (November 15-16). The Orlando date closes out the celebratory run, and if the current roster is any indication, it’ll go out with a bang.

As part of its “30 Days of Warped” announcement campaign that kicked off in January, organizers have slowly revealed the artists performing this year – and it’s a packed roster. Returning Warped staples like Simple Plan, Bowling for Soup, Pennywise, and Miss May I were among the first acts named, alongside Dance Hall Crashers and Chandler Leighton, a Warped first-timer bringing a fresh perspective to the scene.

The most recent drop includes major names like:

  • 3OH!3
  • A Day to Remember
  • The Wonder Years
  • MGK
  • Falling in Reverse
  • Winona Fighter
  • Movements
  • Thursday
  • Boys Like Girls
  • Microwave
  • Less Than Jake

With a total of 70 to 100 acts expected and even more yet to be announced, this year’s Warped promises a perfect storm of nostalgia, rebellion, and modern-day angst.

Notably, lineup posters will list artists alphabetically, ensuring no hierarchy and giving all performers equal spotlight – a nod to the tour’s community-first ethos.

The 2025 edition isn’t the traditional cross-country trek fans remember – instead, it’s a destination-style festival stages in just three cities, each with two-day formats. Partnering with Insomniac Events, the powerhouse behind Electric Daisy Carnival, the new Warped promises larger stages, expanded production, and a festival experience that blends the chaos of the pit with modern polish.

But even with the bigger scale, the heart of Warped remains the same: gritty guitars, sweat-soaked singalongs, and a sense of belonging for misfits, punks, and scene kids – past and present.

As the final stop of the Warped revival, Orlando will host the last chords, last stage divers, and last circle pits of 2025. It’s not just a concert – it’s a send-off, a celebration, and a second chance for longtime fans and newcomers alike to be part of something truly iconic.

“Seeing the passion and energy from the fans just proves that Warped Tour still has a place in the heart of the music scene, and I can’t wait for everyone to experience what we’ve put together for 2025,” said Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman.

Tickets are on sale now at vanswarpedtour.com. With anticipation sky-high and a lineup still growing, early purchase is highly recommended.

Whether you’re dusting off your checkered Vans or discovering your first mosh pit, Warped Tour 2025 Orlando is shaping up to be a landmark return for one of alternative music’s most beloved institutions.

So circle the dates, grab your earplugs, and prepare for the chaos. Vans Warped Tour is back – and Orlando gets the final word.
