After a month-ish of daily artist reveals, Vans Warped Tour 2026 has officially wrapped its “30-ish Days of Warped” announcement cycle. Though there are still some gaps in the lineup (due to radius clauses and bands not quite ready to be announced), each of the five cities have announced a majority of their lineups.
Spanning five two-day destinations in Washington, D.C., Long Beach, Montréal, Mexico City and Orlando, this year’s Warped brings back what we all know and love: pop-punk, metalcore, emo revivalists, and even some hip-hop curveballs.
And according to Reddit threads? Fans are calling it one of the strongest Warped lineups they’ve seen in a while.
A select group of artists will appear across every stop: Jimmy Eat World, Bad Cop/Bad Cop, Flogging Molly, and Jutes.
Of course, Warped Tour wouldn’t be Warped Tour without some nostalgic artists who help make the event what is is today: Taking Back Sunday (DC, LB, MTL, FL), Yellowcard (DC, MTL, MX), Simple Plan (LB, MTL, MX, FL), The Used (DC, LB, FL), The Story So Far (DC, LB, MX), Mayday Parade (LB, MTL, MX), Motion City Soundtrack (LB, MX, FL), The Devil Wears Prada (DC, LB, MTL, MX).
Fans only are specifically buzzed-about the additions of Silverstein — now confirmed for Montréal and Orlando and The Cab — added to Long Beach and Orlando.
However, one of the biggest discussion points on Reddit has been just how heavy 2026 leans. With fans repeatedly noting that this may be one of the heaviest Warped builds in over a decade: Emmure (FL), Suicidal Tendencies (DC), Of Mice & Men (DC, MTL, MX), Four Year Strong (MTL, MX), Ice Nine Kills (MTL), Norma Jean (DC, LB, FL)
Warped has never been afraid of left-field bookings, and 2026 continues that legacy. The addition to some of these next artists sparked some of the most active Reddit debates, but longtime fans quickly pointed out that genre-blending has always been part of Warped’s DNA: G-Eazy (LB), Yelawolf (LB), Atmosphere (FL), Third Eye Blind (DC, FL), Papa Roach (LB, MX).
Warped Tour’s East Coast kickoff returns to Washington, DC on June 13-14. Taking place again at the RFK Festival Grounds, the stop features a mix of scene veterans and heavy hitters including Taking Back Sunday, The Used, The Story So Far, and The Devil Wears Prada. Fans looking for heavier sets will also find plenty to be excited about with artists like Suicidal Tendencies and Of Mice & Men appearing on the lineup. As one of the tour’s longest-running modern stops, D.C. continues to set the tone for the rest of the summer.
The only west coast date of the 5 dates lands July 25–26 at Shoreline Aquatic Park in Long Beach, delivering a waterfront festival experience overlooking the historic The Queen Mary. The lineup leans heavily into pop-punk nostalgia with artists like All Time Low, Simple Plan, Mayday Parade, and The Starting Line, while also welcoming newer voices such as Magnolia Park and Winona Fighter. The stop also includes a few headline-grabbing additions like Papa Roach, G-Eazy, and Yelawolf, along with a late lineup addition from The Cab.
Warped Tour heads to Canada for the first of its new international editions on August 21–22 at Parc Jean-Drapeau in Montreal. Set along the St. Lawrence River, the festival grounds provide one of the most scenic backdrops of the entire run. The lineup blends pop-punk favorites such as Simple Plan, Mayday Parade, Taking Back Sunday, and Yellowcard with heavier acts including Ice Nine Kills and Of Mice & Men. The stop also highlights regional talent like Despised Icon and The Anti-Queens, with Silverstein later confirmed as an additional artist.
The second international debut takes place September 12–13 at the massive Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico City. Known for hosting major global events, the venue will welcome a lineup that blends Warped Tour staples like Jimmy Eat World, The All-American Rejects, Mayday Parade, and Yellowcard. Regional artists such as Here Comes the Kraken, Tungas, Say Ocean, and Sgt. Papers will also bring a strong local presence to the festival.
The 2026 finale arrives November 14–15 at the Central Florida Fairgrounds in Orlando, closing out the year’s run with a stacked lineup. Fans can expect performances from artists like Jimmy Eat World, Taking Back Sunday, Hawthorne Heights, Motion City Soundtrack, and Third Eye Blind. Rising acts such as Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers and The Wrecks round out the bill, while Silverstein was later added to the lineup, helping give the final stop an extra boost of post-hardcore energy.
