Warped Tour expands globally with new 2026 dates
The return of Warped Tour in 2025 saw the festival taking on a new format, with shows only happening in Washington D.C., Long Beach, CA, and Orlando, FL. Despite the limited locations, fans were thrilled, and the organizers were driven to keep the spirit alive. For 2026, the festival is expanding once again with the addition of two international stops. Montreal, Canada will host Warped Tour on August 21 and 22 at Parc Jean-Drapeau, followed by Mexico City on September 12 and 13 at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez. These new additions join the already announced U.S. locations, creating an even more global celebration of alternative rock music.
Founder of the Vans Warped Tour, Kevin Lyman, expressed excitement about the expansion to international stages. He noted that Montreal and Mexico City are home to some of the most passionate music fans globally, and reaching out to these cities allows Warped Tour to connect with even more people worldwide. This move represents a significant milestone for the festival, demonstrating its growth and dedication to celebrating the music community that has supported it throughout the years.
The schedule for 2026 includes stops in Washington D.C. on June 13 and 14 at the Festival Grounds at RFK Campus, followed by Long Beach, CA on July 25 and 26 at the Downtown Long Beach Shoreline Waterfront, and wrapping up in Orlando, FL on November 14 and 15 at the Camping World Stadium Campus. The festival passes provide entry for both days of the event, maintaining the tradition of keeping the schedule secret until the day of the festival. This ensures that fans don’t miss out on any of their favorite bands and get the complete Warped Tour experience.
For those eager to secure their spots early, American Express® Cardmembers have the opportunity to access Front Of The Line® Amex Presale Tickets™ for the Montreal dates starting on November 24, followed by the general on-sale opening on November 26. Additionally, Banamex presale for Mexico City begins on December 1, with general tickets becoming available on December 2. While the lineup for the 2026 festival is yet to be announced, previous years have featured iconic acts like All Time Low, Machine Gun Kelly, and Avril Lavigne, leaving fans excited for what’s to come. With more locations and fresh opportunities for music lovers to unite, Warped Tour’s international expansion marks an exciting chapter for the renowned rock festival.
