Pop-punk nostalgia meets a new wave of alt-rock energy as Yellowcard announces a huge 2026 North American tour — and they’re bringing along two of the genre’s most beloved bands, New Found Glory and Plain White T’s. The trio of alt-rock powerhouses will hit BleauLive Theater at Fontainebleau Las Vegas on Saturday, May 30, 2026, promising a night packed with anthems, emotion, and the kind of sing-along moments fans have been waiting decades for.
The news follows an explosive year for Yellowcard. Their Travis Barker–produced album Better Days has been a major success, led by the title track — a #1 Alt Rock single that marked a triumphant return for a band that helped define the soundtrack of the early 2000s. Combined with their wildly successful Maximum Fun Tour with A Day To Remember, Yellowcard is back at full force and ready to celebrate with fans across the country.
Frontman Ryan Key says this upcoming run is something special:
“Every time we think this part of our career couldn’t possibly get any better, somehow it does. The Up Up Down Down Tour celebrates more than 2 decades of friendship with New Found Glory and Plain White T’s. Ocean Avenue, My Friends Over You, AND Hey There Delilah at the same show?!”
For Las Vegas fans, it’s a one-night-only chance to relive the golden era of pop-punk while also experiencing the bands’ new creative chapters.

The Bands Behind the Tour Yellowcard
Formed in 1997, Yellowcard became one of the most influential alternative bands of the 2000s, known for fusing pop-punk energy with violin-driven melodies. Their breakout album Ocean Avenue achieved Platinum status, while the title track continues to define the genre decades later. After disbanding in 2017, the group reunited in 2022 and is now entering a new creative era — culminating in Better Days, their first full-length album in nearly a decade, produced and performed on by Travis Barker.
New Found Glory
With nearly 30 years under their belt, New Found Glory remain one of pop-punk’s most enduring and respected bands. Their new album Listen Up! — released on Pure Noise Records — is shaped by resilience, personal battles, and the same high-energy style that made them icons. Songs like “My Friends Over You,” “Hit or Miss,” and tracks from their Platinum and Gold albums continue to spark massive live reactions at every show.
Plain White T’s
Since emerging in 1997, Plain White T’s have remained a staple of pop-rock radio and pop culture. Their Grammy-nominated mega-hit “Hey There Delilah” went quadruple Platinum and topped the Billboard Hot 100, while their catalog has earned billions of streams and appeared everywhere from Sesame Street to the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. The band’s longevity and hook-filled songwriting make them a perfect addition to this nostalgia-charged tour.
With three major alt-rock bands joining forces, May 30 at Fontainebleau Las Vegas is shaping up to be one of 2026’s biggest nights for live music on the Strip. Whether you grew up on pop-punk or discovered it during its resurgence, this lineup is built for maximum fun, maximum nostalgia, and maximum volume.
