Bayside Announce Fall 2026 Headline Tour with Driveways and Grave Secrets, Plus Warped Tour and Riot Fest Dates

Twenty-five years deep and still refusing to coast on nostalgia, Queens punk rock lifers Bayside are hitting the road again. The band — Anthony Raneri (vocals, guitar), Jack O’Shea (guitar, vocals), Nick Ghanbarian (bass, vocals), and Chris Guglielmo (drums) — have announced a Fall 2026 headline tour that kicks off September 15 in Fort Collins, Colorado and winds its way across the country before closing out October 10 in Louisville, Kentucky.

Joining them for the run are Driveways and Grave Secrets, a pair of rising support acts who should pair nicely with Bayside’s signature blend of melodic sing-alongs and gritty punk muscle. Tickets and VIP packages are on sale now at baysidebayside.com/tour.

Before the headline dates kick in, Bayside are also squeezing in a run of summer festival appearances, including a stop at the long-running VANS Warped Tour in Long Beach on July 25, Great South Bay Music Festival in Patchogue on July 23, and The Afterburner Ohio Music Festival on August 14. The fall itinerary also drops the band onto a few more marquee stages, with Riot Fest in Chicago on September 18 and Four Chord Music Festival in Pittsburgh on September 25.

For a band that has spent a quarter-century building a cult-like following through sheer road-dog persistence — from basement shows to Warped Tour main stages — this run feels like business as usual, which, when it comes to Bayside, is exactly the point. Their latest full-length, “There Are Worse Things Than Being Alive” (2024), continues the band’s streak of pairing anthemic choruses with the heavier, grittier edge they’ve leaned into since the “Wind-Up and Hopeless Records Years.” Expect plenty of new material in the live set alongside catalog staples from “Sirens and Condolences,” “The Walking Wounded,” “Shudder,” “Cult,” and beyond.
