A Day To Remember, Silverstein and Motion City Soundtrack are among some of the new names added to the line-up for the Vans Warped Tour 2025.

The iconic punk and rock festival is back this year for its 30th anniversary, six years after the previous edition, and will be coming to three cities over three weekends. Other names that have been announced as performers so far, include the likes of 3OH!3Bowling For SoupBeauty School Dropout, 408, Fever 333 and Of Mice & Men and Avril Lavigne.

The first weekend of the festival will take place at the RFK Campus in Washington DC on June 14 and 15, before it comes to the Shoreline Waterfront in Long Beach, California, on July 26 and 27. On November 15 and 16, it’ll return again, this time at Camping World Stadium Campus in Orlando, Florida. You can find tickets to all three weekends here.

Now, it’s been announced that A Day To Remember will be joining the Long Beach and Orlando stops, while Silverstein will play in Washington and Long Beach. Motion City Soundtrack are also on board to play in Washington.

Also newly announced are From Ashes to New, Attila, Nothing, Nowhere, Mod Sun, I See Stars, Hidden in Plain View, Magnolia Park and more. Visit the official Warped Tour website for further details.

Speaking to NME recently, A Day To Remember’s Jeremy McKinnon told us how he was excited to play in his home state of Florida. “It definitely makes it easy OK guys, I’ve got to drop my kid off this morning, but I’ll be over there around seven o’clock. I’m kidding, I don’t know what slot they’re going to have us,” he said.

“For them to be in Florida, it just makes sense,” he continued. “Funny story, actually, once they announced it originally, we were not on the Florida date. All of a sudden, people were like ‘Oh my God, A Day To Remember are playing Florida!’ We were like ‘Uh oh, some people are gonna be mad…’ but then they came back to us and said, ‘Why don’t you play Florida?’ Sounds like a good idea.”

The Warped Tour has been going since 1995, and became known as the Vans Warped Tour a year later for sponsorship reasons. It made its final tour across the US in 2018, before a toned-down festival the following year to celebrate its 25th anniversary.

Founder Kevin Lyman announced last autumn that the punk, pop-punk, emo and alternative rock event would be returning for 2025. He told Rolling Stone at the time: “People start remembering once something’s gone that it was important, it was fun – and I’m hoping to recapture a lot of that again.”

Lyman also said that, while his “body won’t take riding around on a tour bus” to the number of cities the tour would visit in its heyday, he’d be open to adding more dates in future years if 2025 turned out to be successful.
