Warped Tour Returns After 6 Year Hiatus With Stop In LA County

LONG BEACH, CA — After a six year hiatus, the Vans Warped Tour is returning in 2025 for its 30th anniversary — and it's making a stop in Los Angeles County.

Last held in 2018, the music festival will hit Washington D.C. before rocking the shores of Long Beach and finishing up in Orlando. Warped Tour is scheduled to be held on July 26-27 at the Shoreline Waterfront in Downtown Long Beach.

“People are craving connection, live music, and the raw, unfiltered experience that Warped has always offered," Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman said in a statement. "We've seen how music continues to unite and inspire, and this return isn't just about nostalgia—it's about giving a new generation the chance to feel that same sense of belonging and freedom that Warped has always championed. Insomniac is a company I’ve always admired, so when the opportunity to collaborate arose, I couldn’t say no. I thought, why the hell not? Let’s dive in and make this happen!”

Many big artists earned their chops while performing at warped tour, including pop star Katy Perry in 2008 and Grammy-winning rapper Eminem in 1999. The lineup for the revived festival has yet to be announced, but each stop will feature 70 to 100 bands across a range of genres including punk rock, alternative, pop punk and rock.

Presale for the Long Beach dates begin at 9 a.m. on Thursday for both levels of tickets, general admission and VIP. Prices for tickets start at $149.98 fees included.
