Zombie Apocalypse Returns to Long Beach: 2027 Dates Officially Confirmed<\/h1>\n

Fresh off the heels of a successful 2026 installment, Insomniac has wasted no time in building momentum for the future. The organizers have officially locked in the return of Zombie Apocalypse<\/strong>, confirming that the bass-heavy festival will once again descend upon the Queen Mary Waterfront in Long Beach, CA<\/strong>. Fans should mark their calendars for Friday, June 18, and Saturday, June 19, 2027<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This rapid scheduling announcement underscores Insomniac\u2019s commitment to establishing the event as a permanent staple of the Southern California summer festival circuit. Following the 2026 edition-which served as the festival’s inaugural transition into a two-day summer experience-the brand is clearly doubling down on the waterfront location as the home for this high-octane gathering.<\/p>\n

A Look Back: The 2026 Experience<\/h2>\n

The 2026 iteration of Zombie Apocalypse set a high bar for production and curation, drawing massive crowds to the Long Beach harbor. The Apocalypse Arena served as the epicenter for heavy-hitting bass, featuring powerhouse performances from Space Laces<\/strong>, Zomboy<\/strong>, and Sullivan King<\/strong>. The energy reached a fever pitch during the closing sets, which included a high-voltage appearance by Skull Machine<\/strong> (the collaborative force of Black Tiger Sex Machine and Kai Wachi) and a legendary B2B set between dubstep titans Excision<\/strong> and Wooli<\/strong>. Meanwhile, the Zombieland Citadel stage offered a different flavor, highlighted by a gritty B2B set from Caspa<\/strong> and Peekaboo<\/strong>, followed by the chaotic energy of Borgore<\/strong> and the Bear Grillz + Bad News Bears<\/strong> showcase.<\/p>\n

The second day proved equally impressive, with YDG<\/strong> debuting the official 2026 festival anthem at the Apocalypse Arena, setting the stage for a massive performance by Subtronics<\/strong>. For those seeking a change of pace, the Quarantine Zone stage became a sanctuary for drum & bass enthusiasts, hosting a stellar lineup that included Sota<\/strong>, Hybrid Minds<\/strong>, Goddard<\/strong>, Grafix B2B Subsonic<\/strong>, and Tantrum Desire<\/strong>. The festival also catered to the underground bass community, showcasing experimental sounds from artists like Fly<\/strong>, Taiki Nulight<\/strong>, Distinct Motive<\/strong>, Ivy Lab<\/strong>, and Truth<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Securing Your Spot for 2027<\/h2>\n

For those eager to return to the waterfront, ticket sales for the 2027 edition are just around the corner. Both two-day General Admission and 21+ VIP packages will be available starting Thursday, June 25<\/strong>. The presale window kicks off at 11 AM PT, with the general public sale commencing at 12 PM PT. Interested attendees can secure their passes directly through ApocalypseFest.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Opting for the VIP experience provides several perks designed to elevate the festival weekend, including dedicated expedited entry lanes, access to exclusive viewing platforms with prime sightlines, and a curated selection of premium food and beverage options to keep you fueled throughout the event.<\/p>\n
