It’s no surprise that chatter around the Vans Warped Tour has picked up weeks ahead of the Las Vegas EMO/pop-punk festival When We Were Young. Online speculation of the world-famous scene tour’s return has made its way from X to Reddit, with the official Warped Tour social accounts adding to the hype with a complete blackout leading into the weekend.
Just a few days before the 2024 When We Were Young festival is scheduled to kick off, eagle-eyed festivalgoers already within the Las Vegas city limit caught a few billboards illuminating throughout the Vegas strip that seem to confirm the 2025 Vans Warped Tour, where concertgoers will be headed next year, and when presale for the upcoming multi-city excursion will begin.
Various Reddit users shared differing billboard images that all share the 2025 Vans Warped Tour heading to Washington D.C. from June 14-15, Long Beach, CA from July 26-27, and Orlando, FL from November 15-16. Pre-sale for the upcoming rendition of the Vans Warped Tour that will be celebrating 30 years of the beloved tour will begin just after this weekend’s When We Were Young festival on October 24.
Of course, as the 2025 Vans Warped Tour has yet to be “officially” announced, things like pricing and venues are yet to be known. But, the consensus online is that pricing would be similar to that of When We Were Young, with many believing the return of Warped Tour would mean an absence of the When We Were Young festival for the 2025 season, giving it time to recharge.
Warped Tour creator Kevin Lyman will also be present throughout the When We Were Young weekend. So, expect an official announcement either during the festival’s festivities or very shortly thereafter.
UPDATE: The 2025 Vans Warped Tour has officially been announced across social media with the launch of the festival’s new website. With the official announcement we also now know that 2-day passes will begin at a decently reasonable $149.98 with fees included. We also now know through their social media posts which venues across the 3 locations will be housing the festival next year.
In a breakdown of the upcoming 2025 rendition of the Vans Warped Tour, founder Kevin Lyman shares with Rolling Stone that the lineup will be through weekly updates and that it will be a mixture of new artists and some Warped Tour veterans. Lyman also expects there to be between 70 to 100 bands per date and that if the 2025 set of dates is successful he will look into adding more.
