Silverstein and Story of the Year have announced the "Camp Screamo 2" tour, a co-headline event across the U.S. [1], [2].
The tour represents a continuation of the collaborative relationship between the two bands, targeting a demographic of fans drawn to the energetic and nostalgic elements of the screamo and post-hardcore genres [2].
Scheduled for November and December 2026 [3], the tour will also feature support from Stand Atlantic and Footballhead [1], [4]. This second installment follows previous efforts by the bands to bring similar high-energy experiences to their audiences.
Langdon Hickman said, "Camp Screamo is a celebration of our shared love for the genre and creating an experience that’s both energetic and nostalgic" [1].
The lineup blends established names in the scene with supporting acts to create a comprehensive touring package. By pairing Silverstein and Story of the Year as co-headliners, the event leverages two of the most enduring names in the genre to ensure a wide reach across the U.S. market [2], [4].
Fans can expect the tour to hit various cities during the final two months of the year [3]. The announcement comes as part of an ongoing trend of legacy acts from the early 2000s era of alternative music reuniting for themed tour packages to capitalize on the resurgence of the genre's popularity.
“"Camp Screamo is a celebration of our shared love for the genre"”
The launch of 'Camp Screamo 2' highlights the enduring commercial viability of the early 2000s post-hardcore and screamo scenes. By bundling multiple high-profile acts into a themed 'camp' experience, the organizers are shifting from traditional concert formats toward event-based touring, which maximizes ticket sales by appealing to nostalgia while introducing younger audiences to legacy acts.
