The Vans Warped Tour is officially returning in 2026, bringing a fresh era with expanded dates and international growth.

Following last year's sold-out US events, the festival will present five two-day festivals across Washington D.C., Long Beach, CA, Orlando, FL, while launching two brand-new international editions in Montreal, Canada, and Mexico City, Mexico.

Partnering with Insomniac, the updated format honors the festival's legacy of discovery, inclusivity, and community while evolving its scale, production, and cultural reach.

Each two-day event will feature over 100 artists across various genres, alongside appearances from elite skateboarders and action-sports athletes.

In the lead-up to the festivals, Vans Warped Tour has launched its artist-reveal campaign, with multiple artists announced daily over the next 30-ish days, exclusively on Warped Tour social platforms.

The staggered rollout reinforces the festival's fan-first ideology and commitment to artist discovery.

Once fully unveiled in mid-March, the lineup will be listed alphabetically, keeping the spotlight on the collective experience rather than headliners — a long-standing Warped tradition.

Warped Tour will also host intimate pop-up events in each market throughout the artist-announcement period.

These city-specific activations may include surprise performances, community engagement moments, and potential artist reveals, strengthening the festival's local connections.

True to its legacy, Warped Tour continues its commitment to social impact, having collected over 134,000 pounds of canned food and raised $100,000 in fan donations last year.

Founder Kevin Lyman shared: "Warped has always been about a sense of discovery — learning about brands, nonprofits, and bands.

By releasing the lineup the way we do, each band gets their moment to introduce or reacquaint themselves to you." Tickets for the festivals are now available.
