Vans Warped Tour announced its full lineup for the Montreal edition, confirming over 100 artists across two days at Parc Jean-Drapeau on August 21 and 22. The festival marks the first Canadian stop for Warped Tour since relaunching last year with three sold-out US dates in Washington DC, Long Beach, and Orlando.
The lineup, listed alphabetically rather than by billing hierarchy, includes Bowling For Soup, Taking Back Sunday, Yellowcard, Mayday Parade, Letlive., Jutes, and LØLØ. Montreal bands Simple Plan and Despised Icon and Toronto punk outfit The Anti-Queens are also on the bill. The festival revealed artists individually over the past month through its social platforms before dropping the full roster today.
Warped Tour partnered with Insomniac for the 2026 edition, which expands to five two-day festivals across North America and internationally. Montreal and Mexico City join returning US dates in Washington DC, Long Beach, and Orlando. The festival originally ran as a touring summer series from 1995 until 2019, founded by Kevin Lyman as a platform mixing established and emerging rock, punk, and alternative acts.
Parc Jean-Drapeau sits on islands in the St. Lawrence River, accessible by metro and minutes from downtown Montreal. The site has hosted major festivals including Osheaga, Îlesdulac, and Heavy Montreal over the years. The location offers the space Warped Tour needs for multiple stages, skate demonstrations, and the sprawling, all-day format the festival built its reputation on.
The alphabetical lineup presentation continues Warped Tour’s tradition of emphasizing the collective experience over headliner culture. Past editions featured acts at pivotal career moments, with alumni including Blink-182, No Doubt, Green Day, and Yellowcard alongside newer artists breaking through on the same bill.
Weekend passes started at $237 all-in and remain on sale through vanswarpedtour.com. The festival runs rock, pop punk, alternative, emo, hip-hop, and ska across its stages, alongside skateboarding and action sports programming that has been part of Warped Tour since its inception.
