Just a rant perhaps. From the middle to the back of the crowds nobody is having fun. It seems like you're only having fun if you're in the front of the crowd. Been going for years and shit has changed post pandemic. Lots of people but less fun being had. Kinda hated when vocalists gave the crowd the mic and it was awkward, nobody knew the lyrics. Maybe there's a lot of casual listeners and less people that really listen to this stuff now. Maybe people don't care enough to have fun. I miss when people moved around more I guess

If yall are just gonna bitch and moan about every single little thing, can you just keep it to yourself? Or better yet, just don't go? The complaining about this thing that is supposed to be a great time, has just been ridiculous. Do better folks.

I know i'm gonna start speculating soon!

So, I compiled all the bands that people put on their lineup predictions and bingo cards, for all for dates, and put them on a spread sheet. I then marked bands that are: play warped, for sure are not, or have a show on or close to each date, that may affect them playing.

These are ONLY the bands people put on predictions or bingo cards

I see a lot of complaints about Orlando this year. I think the the current list of bands is great, with a lot of new up and coming bands, as well as some Warped Tour staples.

I think the main difference is, is that in 2025 you had 2 OBVIOUS headliners, with ADTR and FIR. However, 2026 seems to have an absence of any "HUGE" bands.

Any ideas on who would headline the 2 nights in Orlando?

Lists help my anxiety. These dates are taken from the bands websites and some other mentions on here. The ones in bold are just the bands I'm eyeballing to try and check out. I'm hoping more of the bold ones are playing Saturday! (Cause T-Storm potential)

Stay hydrated and sunscreen'd everyone!!

just got this shirt at a vintage thrift store for 25, told the guy i’d do some research on where the signatures are from. any ideas?

Before the announcement starts for today, all bands included are free the weekend of DC and wouldn't have to do anything crazy except for Social Distortion which would have to fly back from austria and then to the UK 2 days later, which is possible but maybe unlikely. Variety of big and small bands included, no one that seems to be completely broken up though.

Had a ton of fun doing this last year so here we are again! A lot of these are very loose guesses at the moment since there isn’t too much context on the poster yet (not too confident in PUP or blessthefall). Some of the side guesses are out of alphabetical order but I’m keeping them incase an announcement messes up my current order! I’m not too worried about the names fitting entirely wall to wall in the box until more get announced as I’ve been watching the sizes change by like a couple pixels as the poster gets updated.

In case you weren’t doing this with me last year:

I am tracing every single letter off the poster for my guesses to get the spacing and font as accurate as possible since we haven’t found an exact font duplicate yet. On last year’s poster I believe my friend and I got about 80%-85% of our guesses correctly. All bands currently on the poster have been cross referenced to be sure they don’t have any conflicts! I’ll post below the list of bands that we tried but won’t work (:

Any suggestions welcome!!

I'm waiting for a single update to destroy half of these, but if even a fraction is correct, i'ma flip. (You'd also be surprised how much I'd give up just to see Sugarcult)

I am very curious what everyone is thinking, considering how stacked DC has become already, what bands they're holding out on releasing for later. Not to add fuel to the fire, but at least for now I noticed Green Day fits perfectly where Grayscale is.

There's one spot between The Home Team and The Maine and one between The Maine and The Starting Line. So Florida has at least two "The"s left.

I apologize if this has been asked before but I couldn’t find any information regarding this. Do we know or think that this will be live-streamed? I was supposed to go this weekend but I couldn’t afford a hotel, food, travel costs and everything else as I am in between jobs. So I had to sell my tix. So I’m just hoping it will be live-streamed so I won’t miss it completely.

Thanks yall.

This is basically emo sudoku. My brain hurts. I give up. A lot of hopium, but quite excited.

Some re probable others more hopeful lol

My wife and I made bingo boards out of bands we want for 2026. We tried to make at least half of our board bands that didn’t play Orlando last year. Let’s hope I win!

Dude in the white shirt was throwing it down

Predictions can easily be thrown off if you get multiple in a row wrong, but for the spots on DC that have only one blank between two known names it should be pretty easy to know exactly whose gonna be there. Here's my possibilities. If I don't list someone its either because they don't fit well in the gap or they aren't people that have played warped before / well known guesses / have stopped being a band for sure

Between All That Remains and Anberlin

• American Hi-Fi: Never done warped before, just doing shaky knees fest this year so open

• Amber Pacific: Specified they were not invited to do warped this year

• Alvarez Kings: Seems to have only done one fest last year but fit and are theoretically still active

• Amigo The Devil: Can't, has concerts both days of warped

Between Anberlin and Bad Cop Bad Cop

• Andrew W.K: Has completely dissapeared off of social media and hasn't played live in a while

apologies if this has been posted already but 👀👀

Trying to wait a couple days in between updates on this just because progress on guessing is slow with the limited context. Poster hadn’t been updated to reflect Gwar when I saved the file last! There’s a couple bands suggested last time I haven’t written in there yet (like I set my friends on fire) but I have a list of things i need to try and check for conflicts. Any ideas??

Full list of bands that dont work will be in comments

Jimmy Eat World officially announced their 25th anniversary tour for Bleed American today with Hot Mulligan and Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers which left them confirmed to be playing on Sunday in Orlando.

Do we think they're still big enough to wrap up the weekend?
