So come along, wet the trip and who knows – you might just discover your next favorite band! “
Fans that have been previously iterations of the Warped Tour can remember sets from Simple Plan, which returns to Lineupen after playing more than 10 years of the festival. The group, consisting of Pierre Bouvier, Chuck Comeau, Jeff Stinco and Sébastien Lefebvre, will perform on Washington, DC date and explains that it is a full circle to return to the Warped Tour.
“When we began to hear rumors that the Warped Tour might come back in 2025, we were so happy!” said Comeau. “Warped has been a huge part of our journey as a band-playing the smallest side tag back in 2001 to several cross-country skiing over the years, the oblique flushing at Sea Cruise, Warped Australia and the last run in 2018, Warped has always felt at home . We are pleased that so many pop-punk fans will have a chance to relive their best teenage memories again and that a whole new generation will experience what our scene is about. Getting the chance to be part of such an iconic festival is again a privilege and we can’t wait to get our old Dickies shorts back and Rock Washington DC this summer! ”
Bowling for soup, which has played Warped Tour nine times, will perform at the DC and Long Beach dates. To coincide with the return of Warped, the group releases a cover for Blink-182’s “The Rock Show.” “Suddenly we discover that the Warped Tour is back in 2025 and that we play … The absolute first that appeared in my head was the lyric, ‘I’ could not wait for the summer and the oblique tour ‘,'” explained the band’s main vocalist/guitarist Jaret Reddick on inspiration behind the cover.
Almost 30 years after the only turned look, Dance Hall Crashers will perform in DC and Long Beach, which marks its first reunion in two decades. “Kevin Lyman is probably the only person in the world who could have convinced us to reunite the band after 20 years,” says the group’s co -leader Elyse Rogers. “Being on the Warped Tour, surrounded by so many old friends from so many bands, feels like a Punk Rock High School reunion.”
Miss May I, Chandler Leighton and Pennywise are scheduled to perform on all three dates.
