Long Beach is locking in another loud weekend next summer, with the Vans Warped Tour set to storm back to the Shoreline Waterfront for a two-day run on July 24 and 25, 2027. The dates keep the revived punk, emo and alternative festival firmly planted on the Southern California calendar for yet another year of organized chaos by the water.
Festival organizers announced the return Tuesday, with a general presale set to go live at noon Pacific time on Friday, July 31, according to MyNewsLA. Fans will reportedly be able to lock in a spot with a $5 down payment, while Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman said working with Long Beach has been “an absolute pleasure.”
Another Shoreline Waterfront Takeover On The Books
The festival’s official website lists the 2027 Long Beach dates, and the ticketing page pegs the venue as the Downtown Long Beach Shoreline Waterfront. The event is scheduled to start at 11 a.m. each day and will be open to all ages, according to Front Gate Tickets.
Front Gate also lists a loyalty presale beginning Thursday, July 30, at noon Pacific time, followed by the general presale on Friday at noon. There is still no 2027 artist lineup in the ticketing materials, so fans will have to wait a bit longer to find out which bands will be responsible for rattling the shoreline.
Warped’s Long Beach Comeback Keeps Rolling
The renewal comes as Warped Tour extends its comeback run after a long hiatus, with Lyman teaming up with Insomniac to rework the former cross-country tour into a series of large two-day events. In a recent interview, the Los Angeles Times described the festival as a potential entry point for a new generation of concertgoers.
Hoodline previously covered Long Beach’s 2026 return, which featured a bill with Jimmy Eat World, All Time Low, Mayday Parade and other pop-punk, emo and alternative acts. With the 2027 dates now locked, the Shoreline Waterfront is looking more and more like one of Warped Tour’s regular Southern California homes.
