Vans Warped Tour brings its community-driven experience to Montreal August 21 and 22 taking over the expansive grounds of Parc Jean-Drapeau. Doors open at 11 a.m., showtime at noon.
Keeping with tradition, the full line-up — which listed alphabetically keeps the focus on the collective experience rather than headliners — spans generations of alternative and punk music, from favourites like Simple Plan and Bowling for Soup to pop-rock staples such as Taking Back Sunday, Yellowcard, and Mayday Parade, alongside rising voices including Jutes and LØLØ.
Additionally, the 2026 Vans Warped Tour in Montreal features a mix of international and regional talent, including Montreal-based deathcore band Despised Icon and punk outfit The Anti-Queens.
Right after entering the site, head over to the giant inflatable schedule to discover the day's lineup!
Eighteen bands from Quebec are part of the lineup: Simple Plan, Despised Icon, Spite House, Peer Pressure, Basterds, Béton Armé, Cross Check, SUCKERPUNCH!, Bruiserweight, Sudden Waves, Scorching Tomb, Desecrate, Mulch, Punchline 13, K-Man & The 45s, Fair Warning, Colorsfade, and The Last Mile.
Fans can bring three canned goods (unexpired, non-dented, non-glass canned food items) at the charity kiosk La Tablée des Chefs near the entrance to have access to faster entry on site.
In partnership with Insomniac, the two-day festival will feature over 100 artists spanning rock, pop punk, alternative, emo, hip-hop, ska and beyond, alongside appearances from world-class skateboarders and elite action-sports athletes. This latest iteration builds on the Tour’s legacy while embracing a broader, more global future for one of music and skate culture’s most enduring live platforms.
Throughout the years, Vans Warped Tour helped introduce and elevate artists who would go on to define modern music, with past performers including Blink-182, No Doubt, Sublime, Beck, Katy Perry, NOFX, Limp Bizkit, Black Eyed Peas, Green Day, Eminem, Yellowcard, Bad Religion, and others.
What set Vans Warped Tour apart was its accessibility and ethos. Affordable tickets, all-day festivals, genre-fluid lineups, and an environment where fans could discover new artists, connect directly with performers, and experience music alongside skate culture, activism, and community engagement. That spirit of openness and discovery became central to Vans Warped Tour’s identity.
