Warped Tour to Head to Washington, D.C., for Second Consecutive Year
People's black-checkered sneakers aren't even dry yet from this weekend, but emo fan-favorite Vans Warped Tour isn't waiting for anyone. Festival organizers announced Wednesday that the punk festival will return to Washington, D.C. in 2026 for another two-day concert rager on June 13 and 14. 'Let's run it back next year?!' the official Vans Warped Tour Instagram posted Wednesday. 'Same time, same spot.' More from Rolling Stone Warped Tour Pulled Off the Impossible and Took Fans Back in Time Cartel to Celebrate 'Chroma' 20th Anniversary With Re-Recording and Fall Tour Sublime Will Play DC Warped Tour 30 Years After Headlining First Edition The Vans Warped Tour had been a staple in the punk rock scene since its creation in 1995. The festival played its last shows in 2019. But last year, founder Kevin Lyman announced a three-city 2025 revival of the festival to celebrate its 30th anniversary. The 2025 Washington D.C. shows took place over the weekend, giving thousands of screaming punk fans peak view of performances from All Time Low, Machine Gun Kelly, Avril Lavigne, the Wonder Years, Modsun, and Boys Like Girls, as well as the festival's emphasis on indie and emerging artists. Now, it seems like fans will be able to keep the party going for at least one more year. 'Since 1997, I said I was hoping that there was some kid in a garage that was going to come out and kick Kevin Lyman's ass someday, and put on a better festival,' Vans Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman told Rolling Stone in 2024 ahead of the festival's return. 'People start remembering once something's gone that it was important, it was fun — and I'm hoping to recapture a lot of that again.' The lineup for 2026 hasn't been announced yet. Ticket pre-sales for the 2026 Washington D.C. Vans Warped Tour begin this Friday, June 20 at 12 p.m. ET via its website.

Avril Lavigne praises ex-husband Deryck Whibley after they reunited for performance, Entertainment News
The 40-year-old singer and the Sum 41 frontman, 45, wed in 2006, but they split in 2009 and their divorce was confirmed in 2010. However, the former couple are still on good terms, and Deryck joined Avril on stage at the RFK Stadium Grounds in Washington on Sunday night (June 15) as she headlined the Vans Warped Tour. Avril and Deryck performed Sum 41's song In Too Deep together to "one of the best crowds" she has experienced. The Complicated hitmaker wrote on Instagram: "Headlined @vanswarpedtour last night and it was everything I would have expected and more! It was one of the best crowds and you guys know how to rock. "Also this legend @deryckwhibley from @sum41 joined me for one of the best pop punk anthems of all time In Too Deep" Deryck is now married to model Ariana Cooper, and Avril previously wed Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger in 2013, but they divorced in 2015. Avril and singer Mod Sun got engaged in March 2022, but the pair went their separate ways less than a year later. A month after the pair got engaged, Avril insisted relationships were "not easy", and she had learned to "prioritise" herself rather than relying on other people. Speaking to FAULT Magazine at the time, she said: "Yes, love is hard and relationships are not easy. "It's not easy for anybody and I've now lived long enough to realise that I need to prioritise myself and take care of myself. "I went through a phase where I was like 'I'm gonna be independent and have time on my own for a minute... "And it really didn't last that long! But when I started the album, I was definitely in the mindset of, 'If I'm going to rely on anyone in this world, it's going to be me.' " [[nid:719052]]

The Vans Warped Tour at 30
On Saturday around 6:30 p.m., the Army celebrated its 250th anniversary with the largest display of military prowess in the nation's capital in more than three decades. About three miles west of the parade route, in the festival grounds adjacent to RFK Stadium, a man wearing a 'Make America Emo Again' T-shirt watched Sublime perform, singing along, 'I smoke two joints in time of peace and two in time of war.' After a five-year hiatus, the Vans Warped tour was, undoubtedly, back.

Avril Lavigne reunites with ex-husband Deryck Whibley for performance at Vans Warped Tour
Avril Lavigne recently reunited with her ex-husband Deryck Whibley during her performance at the Vans Warped Tour in Washington, DC, where the pair played a set together. The Canadian singer shared a heartfelt message on Instagram, expressing her excitement about performing with Whibley, known for his role in the band Sum 41. Lavigne, 40, and Whibley, 45, were married from 2006 to 2009, after becoming engaged in 2005. Their marriage ended when Lavigne was 24, citing the feeling that she had married too young. Despite their divorce, the two appear to remain on good terms. Whibley made a surprise appearance during Lavigne's headline set, joining her to perform the pop-punk anthem In Too Deep by Sum 41. Lavigne praised her ex-husband, calling him 'a legend' and describing the crowd's energy as one of the best she had ever experienced at the festival. Their reunion comes at a challenging time for Whibley, who has been battling serious health issues. Last year, he was hospitalised with pneumonia and Covid-19, which led to complications including heart failure. His wife, Ariana, shared the distressing news on Instagram, explaining that his heart was under significant strain due to the inflammatory condition caused by pneumonia. Fans were excited to see the ex-couple performing together, and many commented on the sweetness of their relationship and mutual respect. One fan shared their appreciation, saying, 'I love to see the respect you and Deryck have for each other!' Others were moved by their ability to remain friends despite their past, with many likening it to seeing their divorced parents getting along. Lavigne's relationship history includes a second marriage to Nickelback's Chad Kroeger in 2013, which ended in 2015, and a brief engagement to Mod Sun in 2021, which also ended in 2023. Despite the ups and downs, Lavigne and Whibley's ongoing friendship highlights their enduring bond and mutual respect.
