Rise Against have been added to Vans Warped Tour 2025

Following the release of 2025 single Nod and their brilliant UK / European headline tour, Rise Against are keeping the good news coming: Kerrang! can exclusively reveal they’ll be playing this year’s returning Vans Warped Tour!

The Chicago punk rock heroes will make a stop off at the Long Beach, California dates of the legendary fest on July 26 – 27. With the mega line-up still being slowly unveiled, what we do know is that Rise Against will be joining the likes of A Day To Remember, Black Veil Brides, The All-American Rejects, FEVER 333, Stray From The Path, The Wonder Years, Scene Queen, De’Wayne and many more.

“Like a lot of bands, we spent our early days cutting our teeth on the Warped Tour,” frontman Tim McIlrath says. “It takes the right kind of band to thrive in an environment like Warped, and not every band did. But for our band, Kevin [Lyman, founder]’s faith in us and his vision helped Warped become a key part of why we are still here. It is a huge part of our story.”

The trio of Vans Warped Tour 2025 dates will showcase between 70 and 100 bands each, and will also stop off in Washington, D.C. and Orlando, Florida. Get your tickets here.
