Vans Warped Tour D.C. returns June 13-14: Tickets

Following its triumphant return in 2025 after a five-year hiatus, Vans Warped Tour is continuing its highly anticipated revival with an expanded 2026 run, returning to Washington, D.C., on June 13–14 at the RFK Campus Festival Grounds. Building on the momentum of last year’s sold-out events, the iconic festival will expand to five two-day U.S. stops alongside new international editions in Montreal and Mexico City, further reigniting excitement across generations of music fans and introducing a new audience to the culture and community that has defined Warped Tour for more than 30 years.

This year’s Washington, D.C., stop will feature performances from fan-favorite acts including New Found Glory, The Used, Yellowcard, Coheed and Cambria, Taking Back Sunday, and 3OH!3, alongside more than 100 artists spanning rock, pop-punk, emo, alternative, hip-hop, ska, and beyond. 

Fans can also expect appearances from action sports athletes, interactive experiences, vendor activations, and the signature community atmosphere that has made Warped Tour one of the most influential touring festivals in music history. Beyond tapping into millennial nostalgia, the festival’s resurgence has also introduced a new generation of fans to the emo, pop-punk, and alternative music scene that defined an era, further cementing Warped Tour’s lasting cultural impact. 

Vans Warped Tour partnered with Insomniac this year to evolve its legendary format for a new generation while staying true to the accessibility, artist discovery, and fan-first ethos established by founder Kevin Lyman in 1995. Over its 30-year legacy, the festival became a cultural crossroads where established artists and emerging talent shared stages, helping shape generations of alternative music fans.

Ahead of the festival, Vans Warped Tour also announced a fan-voted series of video awards celebrating artist announcement clips shared across the festival’s social platforms. Categories include Funniest Video, Most Heartfelt, Best Use of “Kevin Lyman” in a Video, Most Cinematic, and Awesome Cameos, with winners receiving $500 donations to the charity of their choice.

Continuing its commitment to accessibility and community, Vans Warped Tour remains dedicated to affordable festival experiences while celebrating the music, creativity, and culture that have cemented its lasting impact on fans around the world.
