The Vans Warped Tour revival shows no signs of slowing down. Following a triumphant return, the iconic traveling festival has unveiled the lineup for its Long Beach stop, bringing together a massive cross-generational roster of alternative music favorites on July 25 and 26 at the Shoreline Waterfront.
Leading the announcement are scene staples like All Time Low, Papa Roach, From First To Last, Sleeping With Sirens, Dance Gavin Dance, Bowling For Soup and Bayside, alongside a diverse supporting lineup that reflects the festival’s continued commitment to showcasing every corner of alternative culture. From metalcore and post-hardcore to pop-punk, emo, punk rock and alternative, the 2026 Long Beach edition delivers a lineup designed to appeal to both longtime Warped Tour veterans and a new generation discovering the festival for the first time.
For many fans, the opportunity to see many of these bands together feels like something they’d never dream of. Personally, we are thrilled to see G-Eazy bring a different angle back to Warped again. Additionally, veterans like Simple Plan, Underoath, The Used, Taking Back Sunday, 3OH!3, The Starting Line, Story of the Year, and MxPx always bring the memories and this year will definitely serve its meaning for us all.
Long Beach’s lineup remains packed with notable names that stretch beyond the cliche genre umbrella such as: Save Ferris, Citizen, Attila, Boston Manor, Caskets, Breathe Carolina, Yelawolf, Jinjer, DeathbyRomy, Carolesdaughter, Arm’s Length, Bad Cop/Bad Cop, Amigo The Devil and newcomer Jutes are among the artists set to perform across the weekend, creating one of the most diverse festival bills of the summer.
Taking place at the Downtown Long Beach Shoreline Waterfront, Warped Tour’s Southern California stop once again embraces the festival’s signature all-ages format. Alongside multiple stages of live music, attendees can expect the world famous vert ramp (maybe another surprise from Tony Hawk?), activations, a plethora of merch and the community-driven atmosphere that helped transform Warped Tour into one of alternative music’s most beloved pastimes.
The Long Beach event marks one of several destination stops planned for the 2026 Vans Warped Tour season, which also includes Washington, D.C., Montreal, Mexico City and Orlando. While the festival may look different from its cross-country touring roots, its mission remains unchanged: bringing together established artists, emerging talent and passionate fans for a weekend celebrating alternative music culture.
With a lineup anchored by genre-defining veterans and a deep supporting roster of rising artists, the festival is shaping up to be one of Southern California’s most anticipated alternative music events of the year. Catch ya there!
