The festival next year embarks on a three-city tour to mark its 30th anniversary next year, stopping in Long Beach, Ca., Washington D.C. and right here in Orlando at Camping World Stadium.
Each of the three cities will host a two-day event, as opposed to the fest’s origins as a summertime cross-country traveling fest. The tour will be in partnership with Insomniac, responsible for big-name music fests like Electric Daisy Carnival.
The tour kicks off in D.C. June 14-15, makes a second stop in Long Beach July 26-27, and finally hits Orlando for the finale Nov. 15-16.
“People are craving connection, live music, and the raw, unfiltered experience that Warped has always offered,” Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman said in a press release. “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.”
Lineups have yet to be announced, but organizers say it will both honor the tour’s iconic history and highlight the next generation of artists. Pre-sale ticket sales for next year’s fest start at noon on Thursday, October 24 through the Warped Tour site.
Warped Tour saw its last multi-city tour in 2018 with its usual slate of punk-rock, emo and hardcore madness.
