Vans Warped Tour officials announced Tuesday that the two-day alt-music festival will return to Long Beach in 2027.

The announcement follows the festival’s run in Long Beach this past weekend, which featured headliners Jimmy Eat World, All Time Low and Bowling for Soup. The festival, known for blending alterative music and skate culture, has introduced artists including blink-182, No Doubt, Sublime, Katy Perry, Green Day and more.

“Working with the city of Long Beach has been an absolute pleasure, and it’s a show I genuinely look forward to every year,” Vans Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman said in a statement. “Coming back to the city where I got my start as stage manager at the legendary Fenders Ballroom and now bringing Vans Warped Tour here feels like a true full-circle moment.”

The 2027 festival will take place July 24-25 at the Shoreline Waterfront. Tickets will go on sale at noon Friday, with fans able to secure a spot with a $5 down payment in an effort to keep the festival affordable, according to officials.
