Ahead of this year’s festivals, Emo Nite and Vans Warped Tour have announced a partnership with Breaking & Entering, a new opportunity to support the next wave of bands and give fans the chance to experience the next generation of performers before they break. Local bands will be hand-picked by the Emo Nite to perform live on dedicated stages at select Emo Nite events in cities nationwide. Emo Nite creates a space for people to passionately sing along to their favorite emo and pop-punk anthems, forge new friendships, and be unapologetically themselves. What began as an impromptu party at a small dive bar in Los Angeles over a decade ago has grown into a community-driven event spanning more than 50 cities worldwide.

On the partnership, Emo Nite adds “Vans Warped Tour has always been about discovering what's next and Breaking & Entering keeps that spirit alive year-round, in cities everywhere within our dedicated Emo Nite community.” Vans Warped Tour gained notoriety as the largest traveling music festival in the United States, and the longest-running touring music festival in North America. Over its 30-year history, Vans Warped Tour built a singular legacy as the definitive summer festival for rock and alternative music fans, shaping generations of artists and audiences alike. Broadening its scope and influence, Vans Warped Tour will roll out five two-day festivals bringing together over 100 artists across various genres in Washington, D.C., Long Beach, CA, and Orlando, FL, in addition to introducing its first-ever international editions in Montreal, Canada, and Mexico City, Mexico, marking a major global expansion. Vans Warped Tour has always stood apart through its accessibility and community-driven ethos, offering affordable tickets, immersive all-day experiences, and genre-blending lineups. Fans were encouraged to discover new artists, engage directly with performers, and experience music alongside skate culture, activism, and social connection. This culture of openness and discovery became core to Vans Warped Tour’s identity and helped establish it as one of the most influential live music experiences of its time.
