The first band on Warped Tour‘s 2026 lineup is one that hasn’t performed at the event in 25 years, as per Loudwire. Last year, the legendary event made a spectacular return to commemorate its 30th anniversary in three separate venues: Orlando, Florida; Long Beach, California; and Washington, D.C. In addition to those three destinations, Warped Tour will also tour Montreal, Canada and Mexico City in 2026. Additionally, they will be doing the “30 Days of Warped Tour” once more this year, releasing a portion of the lineup each day for 30 days (or roughly 30 days, based on their social media post).

From 1995 to 2019, the Warped Tour was a rock music event that traveled throughout the United States and Canada every summer. It returned in 2025 to celebrate its 30th anniversary. As of 2015, Warped was North America’s longest-running touring music festival and the biggest in the United States. In other countries, the festival took a break in Australia from 1998 to 2002 and again in 2013, as well as in the UK in 2012 and 2015. Vans, a maker of skateboard shoes, became the festival’s title sponsor after the first Warped Tour, which subsequently changed its name to the Vans Warped Tour.
