Vans Warped Tour has announced its return for 2026.

Fresh from this weekend’s 30th anniversary celebrations in Long Beach, California, the festival has announced 2026 dates at the Shoreline Waterfront on July 25 – 26.

There’s no confirmation of the line-up just yet, but the recent 2025 edition featured over 140 artists including A Day To Remember, Enter Shikari, Black Veil Brides (who gave their new single Hallelujah its live debut), Rise Against, Nova Twins, The All-American Rejects, State Champs and many more.

Elsewhere, Warped hosted over 80,000 fans per day over the weekend, as well as surprise appearances from Tony Hawk and Travis Barker, and in other heartwarming news over 46,000 pounds of canned goods were donated to the local Food 4 Kids programme, with fans helping to drive the Warped community ethos.

The Vans Warped Tour will also be back at the Festival Grounds at the RFK Campus in Washington, D.C. on June 13 – 14, 2026.
