The Warped Band, the official tribute act of Warped Tour, plays an all-ages show of pop punk, emo, ska and hardcore classics at A&R Music Bar.
The Warped Band plays A&R Music Bar on Thursday, December 3, 2026. They're the official tribute to the Warped Tour, endorsed by the tour's founder and owner, Kevin Lyman, and by Warped Tour itself. The band hails from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and their whole thing is bringing back the spirit of the touring festival that defined a whole era of alternative music.
If you spent your summers in the 2000s at Warped, you know it wasn't just one sound. The tour pulled together pop punk, emo, ska, hardcore, metalcore and skate punk all on the same bill, and that's exactly what The Warped Band covers. They don't stick to one corner of the scene; they jump across the genres that made the tour what it was.
The setlist is the part you actually get a say in. The band lets fans vote on more than 150 songs to build the set for each show, so the night changes depending on what the crowd wants. They pull from a long list of names that ran through the tour's years: Blink-182, Papa Roach, Good Charlotte, Green Day, Goldfinger, NOFX, 3Oh!3, Avril Lavigne, Linkin Park and Pierce The Veil. If you've got a specific era or a few favorite bands from the Warped days, there's a good chance they're on the list.
