  1. 1Turnstile19Hardcore's joyful crossover kings, with dreamy interludes, stage dives, total communion, and a crowd that moves as one.
  2. 2Die Spitz12Austin's instrument-swapping all-women punk-metal wrecking crew, where everyone plays everything and it all lands at full force.
  3. 3Hot Mulligan10Midwest emo's chaotic favorites bring screamed choruses, absurd song titles, real feelings, and a crowd that knows every word including the yelps.
  4. 4Ecca Vandal7Genre-smashing Melbourne punk-rap with riffs, bars, and zero regard for lanes, delivered with a hardcore band's physicality.
  5. 5A Day To Remember6The pop-punk/metalcore hybrid blueprint, with mosh-call breakdowns and sugar-rush hooks in equal measure, delivered with beach balls, confetti cannons, and total arena confidence.
  6. 6Hot Milk6Manchester co-fronted pop-punk with a sneer inherited directly from Britpop, featuring dual vocals, big choruses, and bigger attitude.
  7. 7Sleeping With Sirens6Kellin Quinn's falsetto-fronted post-hardcore: Warped Tour royalty matured, with the high notes fully intact and scene-era devotion still filling rooms.
  8. 8Amyl and The Sniffers5Amy Taylor might be the best frontperson alive right now. Aussie pub-punk voltage, all sprint and snarl, from a band that treats every stage like a title fight.
  9. 9Lambrini Girls5Bilious, very funny queer punk that names names: thirty seconds into the set someone is already in the crowd, and nobody is being spared.
  10. 10Rise Against5Chicago's melodic-hardcore conscience, with two decades of fists-up anthems delivered with undimmed conviction, 'Savior' still closing rooms.
