The Vans Warped Tour had been a staple in the punk rock scene since its creation in 1995. The festival played its last shows in 2019. But last year, founder Kevin Lyman announced a three-city 2025 revival of the festival to celebrate its 30th anniversary.
The 2025 Washington D.C. shows took place over the weekend, giving thousands of screaming punk fans peak view of performances from All Time Low, Machine Gun Kelly, Avril Lavigne, the Wonder Years, Modsun, and Boys Like Girls, as well as the festival's emphasis on indie and emerging artists. Now, it seems like fans will be able to keep the party going for at least one more year.
'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,' Vans Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman told Rolling Stone in 2024 ahead of the festival's return. '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.'
The lineup for 2026 hasn't been announced yet. Ticket pre-sales for the 2026 Washington D.C. Vans Warped Tour begin this Friday, June 20 at 12 p.m. ET via its website.

A New ‘Final Destination' Is Already in the Works
After the success of Final Destination Bloodlines, New Line is now on track to dole out more horrible ways to die in another upcoming installment. People can't seem to get enough as Bloodlines grossed $286 million at its global box office, with a domestic tally of $138.1 million. The Hollywood Reporter broke the news that Lori Evans Taylor, co-writer of the recent rebootquel, has been hired to write the script to continue Death's serial killing spree. Bloodlines was co-written by Guy Busick (Ready or Not) based on a story concept from Taylor, Busick, and Jon Watts (Spider-Man: Homecoming) with Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein directing the film. No word yet if the duo will return to helm the follow-up for New Line Cinema. Final Destination Bloodlines marked series star Tony Todd's final bow as Death's ever-present herald. Critics hailed his performance; io9's own Germain Lussier wrote, 'The icing on the cake is the inclusion of Tony Todd, one of the franchise's original characters who returns here in what's not just an emotional fitting send-off (Todd passed away in November of last year), but in a way that gives his character the context and clarity he's been lacking throughout. Through his role and a few other narrative choices, Bloodlines also becomes the most crucial chapter yet in terms of franchise lore.' The obvious next question—can a seventh Final Destination film top the achievement of Bloodlines?—begs another one: which seemingly ordinary scenarios will become creative death traps this time around?
