After making its highly anticipated return to the festival circuit, the Vans Warped Tour is heading north of the border for its first international stop. On August 21 and 22, 2026, Warped Tour will take over Parc Jean-Drapeau in Montreal, Quebec, bringing two days of punk, rock, hardcore, and alternative music to Saint Helen’s Island.

Montreal marks the first international date on the 2026 Vans Warped Tour schedule, with Mexico City set to follow. For fans who have grown up with the festival or discovered it through its recent return, the Montreal stop promises to be a major moment for the Warped Tour’s next chapter.

And there is certainly no shortage of bands to see.

The 2026 Montreal lineup features an impressive mix of longtime Warped Tour favorites, established rock acts, pop-punk staples, hardcore heavyweights, and some of today’s rising artists. Fans can catch the likes of A Day to Remember, All Time Low, Simple Plan, Jimmy Eat World, Yellowcard, Taking Back Sunday, Sublime, Thrice, The Devil Wears Prada, Ice Nine Kills, Pennywise, Silverstein, Thursday, Alkaline Trio, Bowling For Soup, Mayday Parade, Chiodos, Four Year Strong, MxPx, Escape the Fate, Cartel, Comeback Kid, Counterparts, The Menzingers, and Origami Angel, among many others.

For Montreal fans, there is also a strong local presence. Bands including Desecrate, Scorching Tomb, Béton Armé, The Planet Smashers, IllScarlett, and Spite House will represent the Canadian scene alongside the international lineup.

One of the biggest draws could be Simple Plan, who will be returning to their hometown festival crowd. The Montreal-formed band has spent more than two decades building a global following with songs such as “I’d Do Anything,” “I’m Just a Kid,” “Welcome to My Life,” and “Perfect.”

Meanwhile, All Time Low bring a catalog filled with pop-punk anthems, including the band’s massive hit “Monsters.” The Maryland quartet has accumulated five consecutive Top 10 albums on the Billboard 200 and has become one of the defining bands of the modern pop-punk era.

And if you’re looking for something a little heavier, the lineup has plenty to offer. Agnostic Front, Madball, Sunami, Despised Icon, Counterparts, Comeback Kid, Angel Du$t, The Devil Wears Prada, Ice Nine Kills, and Scorching Tomb are just a few of the artists ready to bring the heavier side of Warped Tour to Montreal.

More Than Just the Music

Of course, anyone familiar with Vans Warped Tour knows the festival has always been about more than simply watching bands play.

Montreal will continue that tradition with Artist Alley, where bands will have their own tents to sell merchandise and potentially meet fans. The festival will also feature a Sponsor Village, nonprofits and charities, food and beverage vendors, and other activities throughout the festival grounds.

Fans can also expect the return of the Vans Vert Ramp, bringing professional and amateur skateboarding back to the festival. For longtime Warped Tour attendees, the combination of live music, skateboarding, vendors, and the festival’s unique culture is a big part of what made the event so memorable in the first place.

And if wrestling is your thing, there will be plenty happening away from the stages as well, giving fans another reason to explore the festival grounds between sets.

With doors opening at 11 a.m. and performances beginning at noon each day, there will be plenty of time to explore everything the festival has to offer. And because different bands perform each day, you’ll want to plan ahead if there are particular artists you don’t want to miss.

For anyone traveling from outside Montreal, Parc Jean-Drapeau is easily accessible by public transportation, with the Jean-Drapeau Metro station located right next to the festival grounds.

Whether you’re returning to Warped Tour because of the nostalgia, discovering it for the first time, or simply looking for two packed days of live music, Montreal looks ready to make its mark on the festival’s next era.
