Idobi Radio Summer School Tour is officially back in session for its highly anticipated junior year. The annual touring festival is set to make its way across North America this June and July, featuring Honey Revenge, South Arcade, Chase Petra, Winona Fighter and Games We Play as its class of 2026.
The 25-date tour kicks off on June 19th in San Diego, CA with stops planned in major cities including New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles and more. The lineup enrolls a stacked roster of some of the brightest up-and-coming acts in the alternative rock scene. After being a part of its inaugural run in 2024, Summer School alum Honey Revenge has excitedly graduated from opener to this year’s headliner. The tour will then close off with a field trip in partnership with Vans Warped Tour for its Long Beach, CA date on July 25th.
Founded by industry veterans Eric Tobin (Hopeless Records), Michael Kaminsky (KMGMT) and Kevin Lyman (Vans Warped Tour), Summer School was created with a goal to uplift the next generation of artists and live music lovers through focusing on artist development, community, ticket affordability and social impact. Speaking on the growing influence of the nationwide effort, the three founders share,
“When we launched the idobi Radio Summer School tour a few years ago, we wanted to bring something back to the touring landscape that’s been missing for emerging artists as much as the young fans who fuel our local music scenes nationwide. From day one, Summer School has been about music discovery and community. A traveling festival with rotating bills, where you show up early, stay all night, and hopefully leave with a new favorite band — all at a ticket price that’s actually affordable. As we head into year three, we could not be more excited and grateful to continue realizing that vision with a lineup as incredible as this one.”
Citi cardmembers will have access to presale tickets starting on Tuesday, February 24th from 10am local time until 10pm local on Thursday, February 26th through the Citi Entertainment program. Additional presales will continue throughout the week before the general on sale begins on Friday, February 27th at 10am local time.
