Albany opens the run. The Ghost Inside kick off their The Gang Goes To Warped Tour ’26 headline dates right here — at Empire Live on N. Pearl Street, Friday, June 5, 7:00 PM. If you have been looking for a reason to make a night of it in the Capital District, here you go.
About The Ghost Inside
The Ghost Inside have been building to this for over two decades. Formed in El Segundo, California in 2004, the band has carved out a devoted following on the strength of vocalist Jonathan Vigil’s delivery and a metalcore sound that pairs punishing breakdowns with the kind of melodies that stick around after the ringing stops. Their story carries real weight: in November 2015, a catastrophic bus accident outside El Paso, Texas killed both drivers and left multiple band members with serious injuries. The band went on hiatus. Then they came back — and that return has meant something to a lot of people.
They are touring now behind Searching For Solace, their sixth studio album, out digitally April 19, 2026 on Epitaph Records. Ghost Cult Magazine gave it a 9/10 and called them “at the height of their career.” The Albany date is the first stop of a seven-show run that wraps with Vans Warped Tour in Washington, DC on June 13. Opening night energy from a band with something to give — that’s the whole pitch.
Support comes from Belmont and Set For Tomorrow.
