Orlando, what did you do to deserve this? On the weekend of November 14 and 15, the Vans Warped Tour takes over the Camping World Stadium campus for the last stop of its 2026 run. Across town, Olivia Rodrigo plays the Kia Center on November 15 and 16 on her Unraveled tour, and Doja Cat is at the Kia Center on November 14. The whole city is a music festival that weekend whether it planned to be or not.
My dance card is at Warped. More than 100 acts are on the official Orlando bill so far, and everybody has their five. These are mine.
Sublime. Some catalogs were just built for outdoor singalongs, and this is the one. Santeria, What I Got and Wrong Way with a stadium crowd handling the backing vocals is the sound of a Florida Saturday peaking early.
“Everybody has their five. These are mine.”
Moe Train
311. These guys have been blending rock, rap and reggae into one long party since the early 90s, and Amber and All Mixed Up still land like they just came out. Their live show runs on pure bounce.
Dropkick Murphys. Bagpipes and accordions should not start a circle pit, and yet. I'm Shipping Up to Boston at full volume with a few thousand people shouting along is less a song than a contact sport.
Jimmy Eat World. The Middle is as close as this festival gets to a national anthem, and Sweetness still hits like a sugar rush. Bleed American raised half the bands on this bill.
New Found Glory. Florida's own, formed in Coral Springs back in 1997, and still the band half of pop punk is quietly copying. My Friends Over You with a Florida crowd behind it is going to be bedlam in the best way.
That is my five, and I will still get pulled into ten other sets by accident, which is the whole point of Warped. The full lineup and the weekend details live on the official Orlando site. Moe Train's Tracks will be there both days. Come say hello between sets.
