The Vans Warped Tour is officially surfing back into Long Beach, locking in a two-day waterfront takeover at the Shoreline Waterfront on July 25–26, 2026. The revived staple of emo and pop‑punk is lining up a bill that leans hard into nostalgia while slipping in enough newer names to keep crate‑diggers happy.
Organizers confirmed the dates and venue on the Long Beach event page, then kicked off a slow-burning rollout of artists that has stretched across the past several weeks. According to the festival’s Long Beach site, the stop will pack multiple stages and on‑site activations into the Shoreline Waterfront, while The PRP has posted a near‑complete roster that already includes Jimmy Eat World, All Time Low, Mayday Parade, Motion City Soundtrack, Gym Class Heroes, and Flogging Molly.
Lineup standouts and how they were announced
Jimmy Eat World was revealed early as a cross‑country headliner for the 2026 run, setting the tone for a carefully staged schedule of reveals. TicketNews notes that the tour used that announcement to launch its “30ish Days of Warped” campaign, with daily additions rolling out after that. As the weeks went on, outlets like The Mosh tracked later waves that pulled in heavier and more niche acts to fill out the poster.
Depth of the bill
The newly revealed near‑complete list shows the lineup stretching from ska and hip‑hop to metalcore and classic pop‑punk alongside the emo regulars, with acts ranging from Glassjaw and Papa Roach to G‑Eazy, Hoobastank, and The Used. The PRP also notes that several slots are still marked TBA, so fans can expect a few more names to slide onto the bill before the gates open this summer.
Tickets, passes, and practical details
Passes and ticket information are posted through the festival’s official channels and partner sellers. The main Vans Warped Tour site lists passes and on‑site experiences, while Front Gate Tickets is handling primary sales for Long Beach, with two‑day GA and VIP options on offer. Front Gate’s event page lists the festival at the Downtown Shoreline Waterfront and shows current pass pricing as of the latest update. Presales and general on‑sale windows are being run through the official Warped Tour pages and the Long Beach ticketing portal.
What it means for Long Beach
Warped’s return slots neatly into Long Beach’s summer calendar, where the city has embraced the tour as a recurring warm‑weather anchor. City listings already spotlight the July dates, plus familiar extras like Artist Alley and Sponsor Village. Visit Long Beach highlights planned festival experiences and local tie‑ins, while the Long Beach Entertainment Center’s event calendar reiterates the Shoreline Waterfront location and ticket links for the two‑day run.
What’s still to come
Organizers say set times, stage assignments, and any final guest additions will drop closer to July, with more bite‑sized updates expected as the schedule gets locked. For the most current lineup details and to secure passes, fans are being steered to the official Warped Tour website and authorized ticketing partners.
