Back in October 2024, Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman shared in an interview with Rolling Stone that he was hesitant to bring Warped Tour back as a full-fledged touring entity. “My body won’t take riding around on a tour bus for 40 cities,” he remarked at the time.
However, he did share within the discussion that if the three-date 2025 edition of Vans Warped Tour was successful, he was open to the idea of adding more dates.
Who Played the 2025 Vans Warped Tour?
