Two days. One waterfront. Over 80 acts. Warped Tour returns to Long Beach, California on July 25–26 at the Shoreline Waterfront and the lineup reads like someone raided your high school playlist (which is a good thing; you have great taste.)
The iconic traveling festival returned from a six-year hiatus in 2025 and will be hitting a total of five cities this year:
⟢ Washington D.C. (June 13–14)
⟢ Long Beach (July 25–26)
⟢ Montreal (August 21–22)
⟢ Mexico City (September 12–13)
⟢ Orlando (November 14–15)
The full Long Beach lineup includes names such as Breathe Carolina, Dance Gavin Dance, Escape the Fate, Gym Class Heroes, Joyce Manor, Motion City Soundtrack, Sleeping with Sirens, The Devil Wears Prada, and Underoath. If you’re interested in attending, make sure you grab your wristbands asap! 2 Day GA and VIP wristbands are on sale now. Both are sitting at tier 5 and will be shipping out the entire month of June leading up to the event.
Here are just a few of the acts you’ll see while on the shoreline:
Papa Roach will be heading into Warped with more momentum than they've had in recent years. Their 12th studio album is slated to be released in 2026, with their recent single "Braindead" (featuring guest vocals from Toby Morse of H2O) hitting No. 1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Airplay chart back in October 2025. Also, if you’re a fan of the Devil May Cry series on Netflix, you have likely heard another one of their recent singles, “See U In Hell," in the season 2 trailer.
This year, Jimmy Eat World is celebrating the 25th anniversary of their iconic "Bleed American" record, which sent them soaring into global recognition. The band began their tour trek on June 9th in Denver, CO, and will be making a long-awaited return to the Vans Warped Tour stage after a 25-year hiatus. Attendees can expect every song from the album in the set. That's "The Middle," "Sweetness," "Bleed American," and "A Praise Chorus" all in one place! They dropped the "Something(s) Loud" EP in November 2025, so the setlist will pull from across multiple eras. If there's a year to finally see them live, this is it.
Third Eye Blind is the wildcard that tends to pull everyone in — casual fans, elder emo millennials who haven't been to a show in ten years, and people who just heard "Semi-Charmed Life" in a parking lot and followed the sound all the way to the stage. The crossover reach here is real, and hearing it outdoors at a waterfront festival in July is going to hit a sweet spot of great vibes and sunshine for all involved.
While you’re touring the festival grounds, be sure to make a pit stop at the Charity Circle! You’ll have the chance to check out the work from organizations such as To Write Love On Her Arms, Keep A Breast, the Living the Dream Foundation, Punk Rock Saves Lives, and more.
Look, the lineup alone is enough to send any elder emo into a full scheduling spiral ... and that's before you factor in the Charity Circle, the Warped Unplugged stage, and whatever chaos the pit has planned for you personally. You've got two days of your favorite artists, a few banana-suited madmen running around, crazy cool activations, and enough sunshine to give you that golden glow to take back home. That's just Warped Tour. That's always been Warped Tour.
Grab your tickets at the official Vans Warped Tour website. Please save your skin and pack non-aerosol sunscreen. Bring enough earplugs to last you the whole weekend. And above all — full send yourself into the frenzy!
