Warped Tour Long Beach 2026 Day 2
Sunday at Warped Long Beach did not feel like leftovers from Saturday. It felt like the second half of the weekend finding its own personality. The grounds had that Day 2 feeling before the bigger sets even started: people moving a little slower, outfits a little more broken in, and an unforgiving sunburn, yet everyone was still committed.
The day started with a lineup already moving through plenty of different corners of Warped’s world. Sets from bands like The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Honey Revenge, State Champs, Charlotte Sands, Drain, Senses Fail, The Interrupters, Asking Alexandria, and We Came As Romans helped build out the day before the later stretch took over. It was another reminder that the weekend was never built around one lane. Every stage had its own pull, and Sunday gave fans plenty of reasons to keep crossing the grounds.
TRXVIS brought one of the day’s early bursts of energy, the kind that works best when a festival crowd is still finding its footing. His set had the confidence of someone who knows how to pull people in quickly. At a festival where attention is constantly being pulled in multiple directions, TRXVIS made his presence known without needing a massive stage moment.
KennyHoopla brought a different pulse to the day: quick, restless, and a little chaotic in the best way. His set had the kind of movement that made sense for Warped, not because it copied the festival’s past, but because it understood the assignment: get onstage, wake people up, and make the field feel less predictable.
People R Ugly kept that newer-band energy moving in a different direction. Their set felt fast, scrappy, and fully awake, which made sense for a Warped crowd that has always made room for bands still building their story in real time.
There is a specific kind of energy that follows a band like The Used at Warped: emotional, loud, a little chaotic, and completely ready to spill over. In Long Beach, that came through in the way fans pushed forward, shouted every word, and treated the set as something they had been waiting all weekend to release.
Waterparks brought a set that feels almost impossible to separate from its audience. Their fans do not just show up to watch. They show up ready: keyed into the jokes, the colors, the timing, and whatever version of the band Awsten Knight decides to bring to the stage that day.
The set drew from both the band’s newer chapter and the songs fans have carried with them for years, opening with “PROWLER” and moving through “Numb” and “BETTER THAN THERAPY” before Daisy Grenade joined them for “Stupid for You.”
Mayday Parade hit the Vans Stage in the middle of Sunday afternoon, right when the day was fully moving but still had a long way to go. Their set worked because it did not have to fight for context. This is a band that already makes sense in a Warped setting, and the crowd reaction showed that immediately. Songs like “Jersey” brought that early-Mayday rush back into the field, while
newer material like “Blame It on the Youth” fit into the set without making it feel split between past and present.
As Sunday moved into its final stretch, Shoreline Waterfront still had several different versions of the night happening at once. Alexisonfire, Hawthorne Heights, The Used, Save Ferris, Lagwagon, Hot Milk, and Meet Me @ The Altar were all part of the evening pull, giving fans different places to end their weekend depending on which side of Warped they wanted to follow.
One of the night’s biggest surprise moments came during Third Eye Blind’s set, when the lead singer brought out William Ryan Key of Yellowcard for a duet of “Ocean Avenue.” For a few minutes, it turned the Vans Stage into a full singalong and gave the final stretch one of those moments people were still talking about on the way out.
Then Papa Roach took the Vans Stage closer slot and gave the weekend the kind of finish that actually felt like a finale. Their set was not subtle, and it did not need to be. Between the fireworks and bursts of pyro throughout the performance, the stage production matched the size of the crowd in front of it. By the time “Last Resort” hit, it did not feel like a throwback saved for the end. It felt like the release point the crowd had been waiting for, loud enough to carry the weekend all the way out.
By the time Sunday came to a close, Long Beach had given Warped a return that felt bigger than nostalgia. Across two days, the festival moved through different generations of bands, different corners of the scene, and different versions of what fans still come to Warped looking for. Next, the tour heads to Montreal on August 21 and 22 before continuing on to Mexico City and Orlando.
