Warped Tour will return for the first time in six years this month, with the iconic punk festival taking over Washington, D.C., this weekend (14 and 15 June).

The first of three Vans Warped Tour events to be held in 2025, the festival makes its long-awaited return to the Festival Grounds at RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C., this weekend. It will then head to the Shoreline Waterfront in Long Beach, California, on Saturday, 26, and Sunday, 27 July, and one more event at the Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida, on Saturday, 15, and Sunday, 16 November.
The live streams will begin from 2 pm ET, which is 4 am AEST on Sunday and Monday. Not the best timings, but if you want to catch Avril Lavigne, Bowling For Soup, Comeback Kid, letlive., Motion City Soundtrack, Simple Plan, State Champs, We The Kings, and many more, tune in to Prime Video and Twitch this weekend.

The Vans Warped Tour first took place in 1995 and attempted to establish itself in Australia twice. It first appeared with events in 1998 and 1999 before a one-off year in 2002. Michael Chugg was the last promoter to tour the event as a local partner.
The first Australian leg of Warped Tour, led by Pennywise and 311 and featuring a scrappy blink-182 and energetic The Living End, brought something new to Australia.
The final Australian Warped Tour took place in 2013, with a line-up starring The Offspring, Parkway Drive, Simple Plan, New Found Glory, The Used, Tonight Alive, and stacks more.
