Taking Back Sunday at del Lago Resort & Casino | May 30, 2026
Taking Back Sunday’s stop at The Vine at del Lago Resort & Casino this late-May Saturday stands apart from everything else on their 2026 calendar. The band has a 15-date summer run with Bayside — kicking off May 3 in Tampa, wrapping June 21 in Madison — but this Waterloo engagement is listed separately from that run: a standalone headline date, no opener, no tour package framing. Just the band and a Finger Lakes room on a Saturday night at the end of May.
About Taking Back Sunday
Formed in Amityville, Long Island, in late 1999, Taking Back Sunday’s 2002 debut Tell All Your Friends sold over a million copies worldwide and helped establish what post-hardcore could look like in the mainstream. Singles like “Cute Without the E” and “You’re So Last Summer” were inescapable for a reason. The band has since released eight studio albums, and the most recent — 152, out October 2023 on Fantasy Records — arrived after a seven-year gap and marked another turn: their first record without founding guitarist Eddie Reyes. Named after a stretch of North Carolina road that held personal significance to the band, the album drew largely positive notices. Frontman Adam Lazzara put the live show pitch plainly in a recent interview: “The entire catalog is free game — it’s amazing.” That is, effectively, the reason to be in the room: 25 years of songs, and a band that has not become reluctant to play the early ones.
Worth noting heading into the summer: guitarist John Nolan — whose dynamic with Lazzara has defined the band’s most compelling stretches — returned from a surgical leave that kept him out through the summer of 2025. His presence back in the lineup restores something that was missing.
Venue
The Vine at del Lago Resort & Casino has developed a genuine reputation among Finger Lakes concert-goers. The room has been voted Gold for Best Night Club in the Finger Lakes and carries a description from the venue itself as “acoustically superior to any other entertainment site in the area” — language that, in practice, holds up better than most casino venue claims tend to. The setting is right for a show like this: a dedicated entertainment room within a full resort property, with the logistics handled and the focus on the stage. One firm policy: this is a 21+ event, strictly enforced. ADA seating is available. The box office opens on show nights at 4 PM and closes at 8 PM; for assistance, call 315-946-1695.
