The Vans Warped Tour is taking over the world with the addition of two international stops. The music festival will bring its unique punk-rock energy to Montreal and Mexico City in 2026. The international dates come as an extension of its previously announced return to Washington, D.C., Long Beach, California, and Orlando.

“Bringing Warped back to international stages is an exciting milestone,” founder Kevin Lyman said in a statement. (Since its founding in 1995, Warped Tour has expanded to New Zealand, Europe, and Australia.) “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.”

Warped Tour will hit the international stops in the middle of its 2026 trek, heading to Montreal on Aug. 21 and 22 at Parc Jean-Drapeau and Mexico City on Sept. 12 and 13 at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez. b

The 2026 Warped Tour slate kicks off in Washington, D.C., on June 13 and 14 at RFK Campus before hitting Long Beach on July 25 and 26 at the Downtown Long Beach Shoreline Waterfront, and wrapping up in Orlando at the Camping World Stadium Campus on Nov. 14 and 15. In a press release, the festival confirmed the five-city tour — including the newly announced stops in Montreal and Mexico City — comprises “its full 2026 tour schedule.”

This year, Warped Tour marked its official return as the festival celebrated its 30th anniversary after a five-year hiatus. Avril Lavigne, mgk, Sublime, Simple Plan, and All Time Low took the 2025 Warped Tour stage to honor the touchstone festival. Shortly after sold-out runs in both Washington, D.C., and Long Beach, California, the festival announced it would return in 2026. In November, after its Orlando stop, Warped Tour confirmed another Orlando date in 2026.

Montréal’s Vans Warped lineup is stacked with over 100 acts

Over the course of two days, Vans Warped fans will be able to jump into a massive mosh pit of music legends, returning festival favourites, ascendant artists and likely a few surprises, bringing together musicians spanning rock, punk, alternative, pop-punk, rap, emo, hardcore, ska and more. To name but a few…

• Pennywise: Pioneering SoCal punk rockers whose song Bro Hymn is one of the undisputed anthems of nu-skool punk rock.
• Simple Plan: Homegrown, internationally renowned pop-punk band and MTL’s high-energy answer to Blink-182.
• Agnostic Front: Formed in 1980, this fierce, pioneering New York hardcore band is one of the giants of the genre.
• Taking Back Sunday: Still-raging rockers who refuse to be stylistically pinned down, with influences ranging from emo to post-punk to pop and beyond.
• Yellowcard: The reformed Vans Warped staples are renowned for their unconventional use of violin on their many pop-punk hits.
• Good Riddance: One of the mainstays of the famous Fat Wreck Chords label, the socially conscious group has been influential with their combination of skate punk and ’80s hardcore.
• MxPx: Originally self-identified as a Christian punk rock band — a rarity unto itself — MxPx have been prolific producers of all manner of punk rock since their early teens in 1992.
• The Planet Smashers: Local legends, Montréal’s godfathers of ska have been starting the party for the better part of 35 years.

Also, Silverstein, Of Mice & Men, Bowling for Soup, Jimmy Eat World, Flogging Molly, Madball, Comeback Kid… the lineup of rock awesomeness goes on and on.
