Warped Tour DC 2026: Hoobastank, Super Sometimes, Deathbyromy & more

"I think that whole 'you don't belong in this festival'—that's a manufactured media thing by people on the outside. Because when you go backstage... everybody is just fucking cool."  This week, Brian and Lizzie are catch-up after Vans Warped Tour in Washington, D.C. They break down the festival’s enduring backstage community, why international crowds embrace diverse lineups better than anyone else, and feature exclusive, rapid-fire interviews with some of the scene's biggest names. We check the pulse of the scene through unfiltered conversations with Hoobastank, Super Sometimes, Rose Colored World, Saturday's at Your Place, and Deathbyromy. Our guests analyze everything from the nerve-wracking reality of playing a festival set 20 minutes after doors open, to the deep-rooted cultural representation currently reshaping pop-punk in 2026. Whether you're a seasoned Warped veteran or a newcomer to the scene, join us for an electric look at why this community still holds up today. "I think that whole 'you don't belong in this festival'—that's a manufactured media thing by people on the outside. Everybody is just fucking cool." "We played 20 minutes after the doors, and we were scared nobody was going to be there. Five minutes before our set, I looked out and there was nobody... and then we walked out and it was like a billion people." "The scene—the barriers in between scenes are breaking. Let's break these walls, people!"
