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, Canada and Mexico City, Mexico 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,” Lyman added.
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. Two-day tickets for Montreal will be available for pre-sale on Nov. 26 at 12 p.m. ET and two-day tickets for Mexico City will available for pre-sale on Dec. 1 at 10 a.m. ET on Warped Tour’s website.
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 their Orlando stop, Warped Tour confirmed another Orlando date in 2026.

“My body won’t take riding around on a tour bus for 40 cities,” Lyman told Rolling Stone in 2024 when asked about the decision to keep Warped Tour 2025 contained to three cities. But even before the festival 30th anniversary kicked off, Lyman was open to the idea of adding dates in the coming years if 2025 iteration was successful. “If it works, we’ll look to the future to do more.”
Warped Tour has yet to announce the official lineup for 2026, but the press release indicates the festival will share acts “at the top of the year” and promises “a mix of legendary icons, returning festival favorites, and rising acts.”
