Vans Warped Tour is heading north. One of the most iconic festivals in alternative music history lands in Montreal for a two-day celebration August 21 and 22 at Parc Jean-Drapeau. The legendary event expands its global reach while bringing its community-driven energy to one of North America’s most vibrant festival cities.
Set along the St. Lawrence River, Parc Jean-Drapeau provides a scenic backdrop just minutes from downtown Montreal. Easily accessible by metro, the site places festivalgoers near Old Montreal, the Plateau, and the Quartier des Spectacles. The setting transforms the weekend into a full cultural experience that extends beyond the festival grounds.
In true Warped Tour tradition, the lineup is presented alphabetically, highlighting the collective experience rather than headliners. The bill spans generations of punk, alternative, and pop-rock with standout names including Simple Plan, Bowling For Soup, Taking Back Sunday, Yellowcard, and Mayday Parade, alongside rising voices like Jutes and LØLØ.
More than 100 performers will take part across the two-day event. The Montreal edition also features regional and international talent including deathcore leaders Despised Icon and punk outfit The Anti-Queens. The music lands alongside appearances from world-class skateboarders and elite action-sports athletes, continuing Warped Tour’s deep connection to skate culture.
The Montreal festival is part of a larger expansion for Vans Warped Tour following three sold-out US events last year. The 2026 edition delivers five two-day festivals across North America, including returning stops in Washington, DC, Long Beach, and Orlando, alongside new international editions in Montreal and Mexico City.
