idobi Radio Summer School Tour Returns for Summer 2025 Run!

Today, the annual “idobi Radio Summer School Tour” has announced a return for its much-anticipated sophomore year. Founded by Eric Tobin (Hopeless Records) Michael Kaminsky (KMGMT), and Kevin Lyman (Vans Warped Tour), and sponsored by idobi Radio and Hot Topic, the nationwide travelling tour will feature a lineup of seven independent artists and bands that are fast on the rise, including Taylor Acorn, Charlotte Sands, Rain City Drive, If Not For Me, Beauty School Dropout, Arrows in Action, and Huddy.

During its inaugural run in 2024, the “idobi Radio Summer School” emerged as one of the brightest new tours in the U.S. while carrying the torch of a bygone ethos: a travelling tour focused on artist development, community, ticket affordability, and social impact. Comprised of a diverse lineup of bands and artists that alternate set times at each date, Summer School is as much an incubator for the next generation of headliners as it is an unrivalled experience for the next generation of concertgoers. “Summer School tours the country channelling the pop-punk spirit of the Warped Tour,” hailed The Los Angeles Times last year.

Kicking off July 11th in Detroit, the 2025 run will stop in nearly two dozen major cities across America this summer before a finale in Philadelphia on August 10th. The tour also includes a field trip of sorts: a momentous date in partnership with Vans Warped Tour in Long Beach, CA, on July 26th, where all seven Summer School bands will perform at the freshly relaunched festival.

Summer school is nearly back in session, as pre-sale tickets for the 2025 idobi Radio Summer School Tour are available with reduced ticketing fees HERE beginning today at 12 pm ET / 9 am PT. General on-sale tickets are available for 35 dollars plus applicable taxes and fees starting Friday, April 4th at 10 am local time.
