Among the core tenets of the vans Warped Tour, musical discovery is part of the DNA of the brand. For generations of fans, the Vans Warped Tour was how so many people found their favorite bands, either through the live experience or the bounty of compilation CDs that used to be the norm. 

In an effort to restore that element of musical discovery, Vans Warped Tour has teamed with Emo Nite to cultivate an artist discovery series with Breaking and Entering. Intended to highlight emerging voices and budding talent on a regional level, artists will showcase at select Emo Nite events across the country, all year long as the Vans Warped Tour builds their 2026 campaign following a historic return in 2025.

As for Breaking and Entering, Emo Nite will be hosting tentative dates in Dallas, San Antonio, Omaha, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Chicago, Orlando and Kansas City - each with the goal of elevating their parties by platforming buzzworthy artists and amplifying the local music scene. 

Artists are encouraged to submit their bands to Music@BreakingandEntering.com
