Understanding the Revival: Why Is the Vans Warped Tour Making a Comeback?
In a candid interview with Rolling Stone, the founder of the Warped Tour, Kevin Lyman, shared his thoughts on the festival’s return, expressing a deep sense of nostalgia. He reflected on the absence of the festival from the summer circuit in recent years, stating, “Since 1997, I said I was hoping that there was some kid in a garage that was going to come out and kick Kevin Lyman?s ass someday, and put on a better festival.” His sentiment underscores the impact the tour has had on the music community.
Lyman emphasized that people often come to appreciate the significance of events like the Vans Warped Tour once they are no longer available. He expressed a strong desire to recapture the excitement and joy that the festival once brought to its attendees, aiming to create memorable experiences once again.
Exploring the Unique Features of the 2025 Vans Warped Tour
This year’s tour will feature an innovative format, with each city hosting two dates instead of just one. Lyman mentioned that the team is being very selective in curating a lineup with unique twists, confirming that between 70 to 100 bands will be performing at each stop, enhancing the overall festival experience for fans.
While this concept may not be entirely new, Lyman is dedicated to providing a platform for emerging artists, continuing the festival’s legacy of supporting new talent. “I?ve always felt we need to pay homage to the past, but we?re looking to the future of the artists and the community,” he affirmed, showcasing his commitment to fostering growth and innovation within the festival landscape.

Pasquale Rotella of Insomniac event promotion praised Lyman’s dedication to making the tour accessible, stating, “Lyman?s been really committed to making this about the people, and making sure that people can afford to come.” His emphasis on community and inclusivity is evident in every decision made regarding the festival.
Lyman also credited the participating bands for their enthusiasm in joining the tour, revealing that some artists personally reached out to their teams to express their commitment. “Making a community strong can?t be just an individual thing,” he concluded, highlighting the collaborative spirit that drives the Vans Warped Tour.
