As the world slowly but surely recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic, music lovers and fans of Warped Tour are eager to know if the iconic festival will make a comeback in 2022. For over two decades, Warped Tour has been known for featuring some of the most popular punk, emo, and alternative bands.
It’s no secret that many people missed out on concerts and festivals last year due to the ongoing public health crisis. Unfortunately, Warped Tour was also suspended in 2020 as a safety precaution against COVID-19. However, with vaccines being rolled out worldwide and concerts resuming with precautions like social distancing measures or proof of vaccination required to attend events there is a glimmer of hope for fans wanting another round of their favourite festival.
Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman announced back in 2018 that its last cross-country tour had taken place that year; however not long after it became apparent how much pushing into retirement would damage his personal life behind-the-scenes so he may possibly revive it once again.
Despite no official announcement yet about whether or not Warped Tour is returning next year or not, rumors have been swirling around since early this year indicating that we might be seeing some good news soon from Lyman himself! On May 18th he tweeted “Anyone wanna see #currentlyunnamedfestival back east? RT”, leading many longtime supporters hopeful for something new coming our way in lieu with strong possibility of return for Warped itself too taking shape as well at any moment now!
In an interview earlier this summer (2021), artist Demi Lovato shared her excitement about potentially joining up again: “To be able to go on tour next spring [for my album]. I’m just thrilled because what better than starting off my brand-new era showing an entirely different side of me than most people have seen?”
Famous former performers like All Time Low’s Alex Gaskarth have also been vocal about how much Warped Tour meant to them. In a recent interview with NME, Gaskarth said: “All Time Low are forever connected to Warped and it’ll always be part of who we are.” The sentiment is shared by many other artists, both locally and internationally.
The pandemic put festival schedules on hold in 2020 but there may yet be hope for 2022 as safety measures have continued improving and restrictions lifting up the possibility of wide-scale events resuming again soon. Warped Tour’s return will depend on their own plans as well as what regulatory bodies want whether that means a vaccine mandate or frequent testing in place of one.
In conclusion, while nothing has been set in stone yet about the revival of Warped Tour next year; The past few months seem to indicate something positive might happen after all for fans eagerly awaiting its come back! There’s no better event alternative quite like this iconic festival where music lovers from all walks of life come together every summer under one roof for days filled with fun times shared among friends new and old.
