2025-06-03

A major announcement has been made by Amazon Music, which will be streaming the legendary Vans Warped Tour live. This event, underwritten by Lenovo and Intel, is set to air globally from the sold-out Washington, D.C., leg of the festival, marking its 30th anniversary. The broadcast will highlight the profound influence of the tour's music, community, and culture. Streaming options include Prime Video and the Amazon Music channel on Twitch, available for viewing on June 14th and 15th. Audiences can expect performances from celebrated acts such as Simple Plan, Avril Lavigne, and Sublime, among others.

The Vans Warped Tour has consistently championed punk rock and alternative culture since its inception in 1995. Now, this iconic event returns after a hiatus since 2019, aiming to rekindle its magic with the collaboration of Insomniac, a renowned curator of music festivals and live events. Through this digital experience, fans worldwide will have the chance to enjoy performances from beloved artists, all from the comfort of their homes.

To enhance the livestream experience, musician and media personality Lilith Czar (Juliet Simms) and Amazon Music’s Andy Harms will host exclusive backstage interviews with some of the festival's most anticipated artists. These segments will provide unique insights into the behind-the-scenes dynamics of the festival, while also capturing the electrifying atmosphere of the crowd and performers.

In preparation for the festival, Amazon Music has unveiled the official playlist titled REDISCOVER Vans Warped Tour. Available via Amazon Music, it includes tracks from this year's featured artists along with commentary from key figures like Kevin Lyman, the founder of Vans Warped Tour. Additionally, Amazon recently introduced the "Festival Shop," an online hub offering a diverse selection of merchandise, including exclusive artist items and trendy festival attire.

Beyond the Washington, D.C., stop, the Vans Warped Tour extends to other locations, including Long Beach, California, and Orlando, Florida. Fans eager to follow the festivities can stay connected through various social media platforms and the official website.

This initiative by Amazon Music not only celebrates three decades of the Vans Warped Tour but also bridges the gap between live experiences and global audiences, ensuring that the vibrant spirit of alternative music thrives anew.
