- Blink-182 delivering hits across their classic albums Enema of the State, Take Off Your Pants and Jacket, and their self-titled record
Other notable acts include Weezer, Avril Lavigne, The Offspring, All Time Low, The Used, Knocked Loose, The Gaslight Anthem, Yellowcard, Ice Nine Kills, Motionless in White, and many more spanning emo, punk, and alternative rock.
Fans are already envisioning:

One popular Reddit joke imagines sobbing through “Miserable at Best” while clutching a taquito, while others speculate on quirky 7-Eleven-inspired surprises—even playful nods to punks’ favorite snacks.
Tickets remain on sale with options including General Admission, GA+, VIP, and VIP Cabana passes, featuring various perks such as exclusive lounge access, preferred viewing areas, and dedicated entry.
