The Vans Warped Tour will broaden its footprint next year, pushing beyond the U.S. for its latest run of destination-style summer festivals. Organizers have confirmed that the traveling event—now operating as a series of multi-day stops rather than a traditional cross-country tour—will add Montreal and Mexico City to its 2026 schedule.
The expansion follows a steady rebuilding of the brand since its modern revival. Festival founder Kevin Lyman noted that the move is a natural next step as Warped continues to reestablish itself on an international scale. Lyman said in a statement:
“Bringing Warped back to international stages is an exciting milestone. 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,”
The official lineups for all 2026 editions of the festival are expected to be announced at the start of the new year. Early ticket options and presale information are available at vanswarpedtour.com.
