Concert Review: Summer School Tour ’26 - School Was Officially in Session at House of Blues Orlando with Honey Revenge, Winona Fighter, Games We Play and More

The Summer School Tour ’26 brought together six of the most exciting names in the pop-punk scene for a night built around community, loud guitars, and nonstop energy. Featuring Pretty Pity, Chase Petra, South Arcade, Games We Play, Winona Fighter, and Honey Revenge, the lineup proved that pop-punk is alive and well. From the moment the doors opened until the final encore, the crowd barely stopped moving—you could even hear the music from outside the venue.

Pretty Pity

Pretty Pity kicked off the night with a set full of energy and attitude. Songs like “Fast Love,” “Vertigo,” and “Whiskey” immediately got the crowd moving and set the tone for everything that followed. They wasted no time turning the House of Blues into one giant sing-along.

Chase Petra

Next up was Chase Petra, bringing a slightly different pace while keeping the audience completely engaged. Tracks like “Famous,” “405,” and “Soda Pop” showed off the band’s blend of catchy melodies and heartfelt songwriting, proving that slowing things down doesn’t mean losing the crowd’s attention.

South Arcade

Halfway through the evening, South Arcade exploded onto the stage with “How to Get Away With Murder.” Their infectious stage presence and punchy sound brought another wave of excitement, keeping the momentum rolling as fans jumped and sang along.

Games We Play

Games We Play delivered one of the night’s most entertaining sets. Between the band’s infectious energy, crowd interaction, and plenty of jokes—some admittedly bordering on classic dad jokes—they made sure everyone was smiling just as much as they were singing.

Winona Fighter

With only two bands left, Winona Fighter turned the energy up another level. Their aggressive sound and commanding stage presence had the crowd moving from the first note, making their set one of the night’s standout performances.

Honey Revenge

Closing out the evening was Honey Revenge, whose entrance was met with one of the loudest reactions of the night. Opening with “Run Your Mouth,” they immediately reminded everyone why they were one of the tour’s most anticipated acts. The crowd sang every word back to the stage, bringing the Summer School Tour to an unforgettable finish.

From the opening notes to the final song, the Summer School Tour wasn’t just a concert—it was a celebration of the current pop-punk scene. Every band brought something unique to the stage, creating a lineup that felt connected from beginning to end. If this tour is any indication of where the genre is headed, class is definitely in session.
