30 days of Warped continued strong yesterday, with quite a few big names and fan favorites being announced. Warped Tour lineups are starting to look pretty exciting, regardless of which of the 5 festivals you end up at this year. The latest wave of bands joining the 2026 Warped Tour Lineup continues the festival's tradition of mixing legacy acts with the rising voices of the punk and alternative scene.
Black Veil Brides Bring Arena-Ready Energy
Few bands command a fanbase quite like the @Black Veil Brides. Known for their larger-than-life, theatrical aesthetic, the band helped define the 2010s. Unfortunately, the band will only appear at the Mexico City show (at least as of now).
Goldfinger Returns With Classic Ska-Punk Nostalgia
Few bands capture the spirit of classic Warped Tour quite like @Goldfinger. And although Fred Cimato may blame front man John Feldmann for breaking up Cute Is What We Aim For, these skate punk legends helped define 4th wave ska in the late 90s and early 2000s. They're even double Tony Hawk Pro Skater veterans, with "Superman" and "Spokesman" appearing on THPS1 and THPS4 respectively.
If last year is any indication, Mexico City Warped Tour fans may even get a Tony Hawk cameo. For now, that's the only show Goldfinger is announced for.
Spanish Love Songs Lead the Modern Punk Wave
@Spanish Love Songs have recently emerged as one of the most compelling voices in modern punk. Their emotionally raw songwriting blends heartland rock influences with deeply personal lyrics, and they've received a lot of critical acclaim and buzz. Another Mexico exclusive for now, Spanish Love Songs is a band I'd recommend going out of your way to see any time you have the chance.
Arm’s Length Lead the Next Generation of Emo Bands
@Arm's Length have become a rapidly growing presence in the emo scene, earning attention for their emotionally raw songwriting and dynamic sound. Over the past few years, the Ontario group has built a growing following across the alternative scene, making their Warped Tour appearance a natural fit. The modern emo standouts will make an appearance at all three US stops: Orlando, Long Beach, and Washington, D.C.
Caskets Deliver Soaring Post-Hardcore Energy
Known for balancing heavy instrumentation with melodic hooks, @Caskets bring a sound that fits naturally within the Warped Tour tradition of emotional post-hardcore. Their appearance on the lineup adds another high-energy act for fans of heavier alternative music. The UK rockers will be at the Long Beach and D.C. festivals this year.
Mad Caddies, John Harvie, and Who Cares round out the March 3rd announcements
A personal favorite, @Mad Caddies have long been known for blending ska, punk, reggae, and swing into their upbeat sound. They've even got an entire album full of pirate-ska music called Rock The Plank. The Caddies sail into both Long Beach and Montreal lineups this year.
@John Harvie hit the pop-punk scene hard a few years ago with his debut album told ya. He blends indie pop and alternative influences with introspective songwriting that has steadily built an online following. John will be in Orlando for Warped Tour this year, and I can't wait to catch his set.
Scrappy Venice grunge rockers @Who Cares (don't compare them to Nirvana) crashed both nights of Long Beach Warped Tour last year with an after festival cross-walk performance, even getting arrested and charged for disturbing the peace the second night. It doesn't get much more PunkRAWK than that. This year, Kevin Lyman and crew have officially invited them to play the Long Beach show.
The latest wave of artists adds another layer of excitement to the growing Vans Warped Tour 2026 lineup, blending longtime fan favorites with newer voices from across the punk and alternative scenes. As 30 Days of Warped continues, the festival is shaping up to capture the same mix of discovery, nostalgia, and high-energy performances that made Warped Tour a summer staple for years.
