 CEDAR RAPIDS… THIS IS YOUR SIGN TO CELEBRATE BLINK-182 DAY 

The 182nd day of the year deserves only one thing… a night packed with pop-punk chaos, nostalgia, and loud singalongs with Iowa’s favorite Blink tribute band, Dad Ranch.

Join us at Kingston Yard on July 1st for an all-ages, FREE show featuring the hits, deep cuts, and immature humor you’d expect from three middle-aged dads still emotionally stuck in 2001.

Expect:
 Blink-182 classics
 Fan-favorite deep cuts
 Summer drinks & patio vibes
 “WHERE ARE YOUUUU?” screamed at unhealthy volumes
 A night for elder emos, pop-punk kids, and anyone who still owns cargo shorts

 Kingston Yard
 Tuesday, July 1, 2026
 6:00 PM
 FREE • ALL AGES (some lyrics may not be appropriate for all ages)

Whether you grew up on Enema of the State, Take Off Your Pants and Jacket, or just miss the golden era of pop punk, this is your night.

Tag your concert crew. Tell your fellow elder emos. Let’s make Blink-182 Day loud.
