Warped Goes Global, Adds Mexico City & Montreal Dates For 2026

Vans Warped Tour will cross the 49th Parallel and the Rio Grande in 2026, with the revived beloved festival making stops in Mexico City and Montreal.

Joining previously announced stateside plays in Washington, D.C.; Long Beach, California; and Orlando, Florida, Warped confirmed the two international stops finalize the routing for 2026.

Warped hit Montreal Aug. 21 and 22 at Parc Jean-Drapeau and Mexico City on Sept. 12 and 13 at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez. Presale for the Montreal dates begins at noon Eastern Nov. 26. Mexico City’s presale begins at 10 a.m. Eastern Dec. 1.

“Bringing Warped back to international stages is an exciting milestone,” Warped founder Kevin Lyman said in a statement. “Montreal and Mexico City are home to some of the most dedicated music fans in the world, and expanding into these cities lets us share the Warped spirit with even more people. It’s the perfect time to grow the tour and celebrate the global community that’s been with us from the beginning.”

In its first iteration Warped visited Europe, Australia and New Zealand.

Warped returned in 2025 to celebrate its 30th anniversary with three stops — the same three U.S. cities it will visit in 2026 — with Lyman, who teamed up with electronic dance music promoter Insomniac on the project, telling Pollstar “We need to get young people back out to festivals. … I talk to students and they’re all really, really leery of where the ticket prices have gone. They’re going to less shows. It’s becoming not such a necessity to go to live music for them. And I talk to teenagers who are coming out of the pandemic and there’s a lot of them, that’s when they would have got it in their DNA to go to shows long-term and … they’re not that interested.”

Lineups for 2026 have yet to be announced.
