On the YouTube channel Rock Feed, a brand-new video announces a 2025 return for the Warped Tour. It sounds too good to be true at first, right?
The iconic festival tour, which brought punk scene bands and newcomers to the stage since 1995, last took place in 2019 for its 25th anniversary. Bands like Parkway Drive, The Offspring, A Day To Remember, and Blink-182 are just a few of the acts that have repeatedly graced the lineup. Will we be cheering on nostalgic pop-punk and metalcore bands on this world-famous tour again next year?
Current Info & Speculation
Rock Feed is a YouTube news channel for rock and heavy metal, regularly posting updates on the alternative music scene, podcast episodes on current metal topics, and interviews with popular musicians. Today, a video titled “Warped Tour To Return in 2025” was released, discussing the tour’s significant impact on the band community and fans, as well as rumors of a comeback as early as next year!
What's Already Known?
The Warped Tour is set to return in 2025 for its 30th anniversary. Founder Kevin Lyman is still heavily involved, while Live Nation Entertainment is expected to handle the event organization.
Of course, it’s hard to imagine everything staying the same. Not only does the video, but also fans in the comments and on Reddit, bring up concerns like rising ticket prices. Inflation could also impact the lineup. However, such a comeback would undoubtedly spark a huge wave of nostalgia. It’s still unclear whether shows will take place only in the USA or internationally. After the last international Warped Tour in 2018, the 25th-anniversary celebrations were held exclusively in the US. And whether the Warped Tour will continue after 2025 remains another question. But we haven’t lost hope just yet. Let’s wait for more news and keep our fingers crossed!
