Nitro Circus activations will be on site at all U.S. dates of Vans Warped Tour; Washington DC (June 13-14), Long Beach, CA (July 25-26), Orlando, FL (Nov 14-15)

Vans Warped Tour is proud to announce an electrifying partnership with Nitro Circus, building on their motocross involvement in last year’s tour and bringing together two of the most dynamic forces in action sports and youth culture. This collaboration will introduce an adrenaline-fueled experience to the Vans Warped Tour stage, blending live music with Nitro Circus’s world-renowned BMX stunts. Fans can expect high-energy performances both on and off the stage, as top-tier athletes and musicians unite to deliver an unforgettable, boundary-pushing festival atmosphere. This partnership underscores a shared commitment to creativity, community, and pushing the limits of what live entertainment can be.

“Partnering with Vans Warped Tour for a second year is incredibly exciting for us”, shares Ricky Melnik, SVP & GM, Nitro Circus at Thrill Sports. “Both brands are rooted in high-energy culture, creativity, and pushing boundaries, so bringing them together creates something truly unique for our shared fanbase. It’s more than just a collaboration; it’s an experience that blends action sports and music in a way that feels authentic and built for the next generation of fans.”

Vans Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman adds “Warped has always been about throwing a few twists in, and this year Nitro Circus will be sure to bring one”

Expanding its footprint and cultural impact after last year’s three sold-out U.S dates, Vans Warped Tour will deliver five two-day U.S. festivals returning to Washington, D.C., Long Beach, CA, and Orlando, FL, alongside the launch of two all-new international editions in Montreal, Canada and Mexico City, Mexico, marking a powerful global expansion.

In partnership with Insomniac, the world-class experience creators behind some of the largest music festivals on the planet, Vans Warped Tour is reimagined for today, honoring its legacy while evolving the format, energy, and community for a new generation of fans.

Each two-day festival will feature over 100 artists spanning rock, pop punk, alternative, emo, hip-hop, ska and beyond, alongside appearances from world-class skateboarders and elite action-sports athletes. This latest iteration builds on Vans Warped Tour’s legacy while embracing a broader, more global future for one of music and skate culture’s most enduring live platforms.

Over its 30-year history, Vans Warped Tour, conceived by founder Kevin Lyman, built a singular legacy as the definitive summer festival for rock and alternative music fans, shaping generations of artists and audiences alike. Founded in 1995, Vans Warped Tour was never just a concert series; it was a proving ground, cultural crossroads, and community-driven platform where established acts shared stages with emerging talent, often at pivotal moments in their careers.

Throughout the years, Vans Warped Tour helped introduce and elevate artists who would go on to define modern music, with past performers including Blink-182, No Doubt, Sublime, Beck, Katy Perry, NOFX, Limp Bizkit, Black Eyed Peas, Green Day, Eminem, Yellowcard, Bad Religion, and countless others.

What set Vans Warped Tour apart was its accessibility and ethos. Affordable tickets, all-day festivals, genre-fluid lineups, and an environment where fans could discover new artists, connect directly with performers, and experience music alongside skate culture, activism, and community engagement. That spirit of openness and discovery became central to Vans Warped Tour’s identity, cementing its place as one of the most influential live music platforms in modern music history. Vans Warped Tour remains committed to accessible pricing, with weekend passes that started at an all-inclusive price of $149.98 (processing fees included) and are currently available for purchase at https://www.vanswarpedtour.com/tickets.
