True to the creative ethos of Vans Warped Tour, the organizers are turning their imaginative lineup rollout into a celebration of artists who gave it their best. After around 30 days of social media lineup reveals, the festival has announced they will hold an award series to honor the announcement videos submitted by this year’s performers and allow fans to vote for the winners.
Fans will vote across five categories, including Most Cinematic, Most Heartfelt, and Best Use of “Kevin Lyman” in a Video. Beyond receiving bragging rights, the winners of each category will also receive a $500 donation to the charity of their choice.
Voting began Monday, April 20, and will conclude tomorrow, April 24, with the final category. Visit the festival’s social media today to cast your ballot by commenting on that day’s post.
In partnership with Insomniac, Warped Tour is growing from a three-date 2025 run to five two-day festivals this year. The tour includes Washington, D.C., Long Beach, and Orlando, alongside its first international dates in Montreal and Mexico City. Each date will feature over 100 artists embracing subculture genres, just as founder Kevin Lyman intended at its inception in 1995.
The festival will kick off June 13-14 in Washington, D.C.
