Vans Warped Tour always unites the biggest rock fans in the world. Emo fans come out in full effect, classic 90s and 2000s bands come out of the woodwork, and punk rock energy permeates the air. This year\u2019s Long Beach stop lineup included an all-star cast of acts like Papa Roach, Origami Angel, Third Eye Blind, Jimmy Eat World<\/a>, and more.<\/p>\n

Given the environment, this also allows a lot of lesser-known acts to promote their work in the area. Local acts will work nearby bars and parks, trying to attract concertgoers at Vans Warped Tour. However, that approach isn\u2019t always the best. You can\u2019t promise people will go anywhere else after the shows. So why not meet them where they are?<\/p>\n

After the show came to a close, San Francisco punk band Hemorage<\/a> rented a U-Haul truck and parked outside a gas station near the event. Initially, it started out as good promotion, with fans gathering outside the U-Haul to rock out with the band.<\/p>\n

However, it didn\u2019t take long for several police cars to arrive on the scene to disrupt matters. Once they cleared locals out of the area, they pulled Hemorage out of the U-Haul and arrested them shortly afterward. Currently, there\u2019s no word on what\u2019s happening next with the band.<\/p>\n

San Francisco Band Tries To Make a Name for Themselves After Vans Warped Tour and Get Arrested<\/p>\n

Naturally, all the comments are essentially rolling their eyes at the police commotion. They all lament how local law enforcement is more interested in noise and disturbing the peace than any real crime. \u201cIsn\u2019t it funny that art is illegal if you don\u2019t pay them money?\u201d one person wrote. \u201cLike they just expect people to have to pay a f**king venue just to play music. Meanwhile, they don\u2019t enforce the f**king sound laws in our own neighborhood.\u201d<\/p>\n

Evidently, this isn\u2019t the only time bands have rented U-Haul trucks to perform outside Vans Warped Tour in Long Beach. In 2025, the Long Beach tour stop saw a similar stunt pulled at a gas station. But this time, the band was left alone, and they gathered a decently sized crowd. Some even ran in circles and stirred up a mosh pit as the band raged on.<\/p>\n

Vans Warped Tour is scheduled for July 26th in Long Beach. Then, the show hits the road in Montreal, Canada<\/a> on August 21st and 22nd. The first day will include Joyce Manor, Sublime, All Time Low, and A Day to Remember. Then, the second day will have 3OH!3, Of Mice & Men, Yellowcard, and more. <\/p>\n
