As Warped Tour gears up for its return, Warped Tour and Insomniac founders reflect on their new partnership and shared vision. Kevin Lyman, Founder of Warped Tour shares: "People are craving connection, live music, and the raw, unfiltered experience that Warped has always offered. We've seen how music continues to unite and inspire, and this return isn't just about nostalgia-it's about giving a new generation the chance to feel that same sense of belonging and freedom that Warped has always championed. Insomniac is a company I've always admired, so when the opportunity to collaborate arose, I couldn't say no. I thought, why the hell not? Let's dive in and make this happen!"
Pasquale Rotella, Founder of Insomniac shares: "It's very exciting to partner with Kevin to bring Warped Tour back. He's built an incredible legacy that celebrates the heart of live music and we're energized to create a rad festival that honors the spirit of Warped Tour.
