Plan Your Lineup

Warped Tour DC 2026 kicks off Warped Tour for the year. Two days, June 13 and 14, at the RFK Campus festival grounds. The DC stop is one of the original three cities from the 2025 fest. Jimmy Eat World is anchoring all five Warped Tour 2026 stops with Bleed American turning twenty-five, Killswitch Engage is returning to the festival for the first time since 2007, and the rest of the Warped Tour DC 2026 lineup runs deep into both legacy headliners and up and comers from the scene.

Coheed and Cambria, Taking Back Sunday, Rise Against, New Found Glory, Underoath, Yellowcard, Hawthorne Heights, The Used, and Third Eye Blind are all on the bill. The newer side brings Hot Mulligan, Drug Church, The Story So Far, The Menzingers, Boston Manor, and grandson, plus a stack of newer acts worth showing up early for. Below you can browse the full Warped Tour DC 2026 lineup, filter by day, genre, or search by band, and check out which acts the NAPNET crew is calling the must-sees of the weekend.

Set times for Warped Tour DC 2026 will not be released ahead of the event, as is Warped tradition. The schedule drops at gates open each morning on the iconic inflatables, just like always. Gates open at 11:00 AM both days. Plan to show up early, hydrate, and lock in your priority sets before the schedule so you're ready to go as soon as the inflatable is up!

NAPNET's Must-See Picks

Sometimes you gotta make a tough choice when the inflatable goes up and the schedules are announced, but these are the bands the NAPNET crew is going out of their way to see.

From First to Last

From First To Last is a bucket list band for me. I've loved them for over 20 years, through many different vocalists, and their music still stands the test of time.

Beauty School Dropout

When it comes to newer kids on the block, Beauty School Dropout is at the top of the class. Frustratingly, I've missed seeing them twice in recent years, and in that same time I've come to be well and truly obsessed. Colie's vocals are insane, the overall sound is powerful and captivating, and the lyrics are unfailingly brilliant. I promise I am not missing them this time.

Joyce Manor

Joyce Manor has been around for almost 20 years now, but their newest album, I Used To Go To This Bar, might be their best yet. It's absolutely an Album of the Year contender for me. If you like catchy pop punk with smart lyrics and Weezer-esque guitar licks, you're gonna love these guys. And the lyrics are "Sunken City by the ocean" you pervert.

New Found Glory

If you're going with the idea that you could only see ONE band that day, go see New Found Glory. I don't care how many times you have seen them. It's worth seeing them again. I highly suggest making the time to seen new and upcoming bands, but if you were going to narrow it down to ONE pick, I can't pick against NFG.
