The Vans Warped tour is back in 2025 for a special 30th anniversary run, taking in 3 dates in the U.S. They’re announcing the line-ups in a unique way, given that it’s the 30th anniversary of the festival, so they’re doing 30 days of Warped, drip feeding bands out over the course of a month.

There have been some negative comments online from fans who were hoping to see some bigger-name artists than have (so far) been announced.

In this episode of Primordial: The Podcast, Moose and Dews discuss the evolution of festival lineup announcements, the changing demographics of festival audiences, and the balance between nostalgia and new talent in music festivals. The conversation also touches on the relevance of heritage acts, the economics behind Warped Tour's comeback, and the importance of footwear with proper arch support (looking at you, Vans!)

They also chat about ticket pricing, particularly in relation to the upcoming Black Sabbath final show, and their hopes for a livestream because - let’s face it - the chances of getting tickets are not exactly great!
