Vans Warped Tour kick off 30 days of line-up announcements

Vans Warped Tour have officially kicked off their ‘30-ish days of Warped’.

The social media initiative began last year and seemingly proved so successful that the returning fest is doing it all over again in 2026: unveiling new artists to the line-up every single day until mid-March, when the full poster will be released and artists will be listed in alphabetical order (as per Warped’s tradition of keeping everyone on a level playing field).

“Warped has always been about a sense of discovery, learning about brands, non-profits and bands,” explains founder Kevin Lyman. “By releasing the line-up the way we do is the best way we have been able to figure out how to do this. Each band gets their moment to introduce or reacquaint themselves to you, and for those who get Warped they get this. Thank you for your support and we look forward to seeing you in the pit!”

So, without further ado, their first announcement is the mighty Jimmy Eat World, who will be appearing at all five dates!

June

13-14 Washington, D.C. Festival Grounds at RFK Campus
