Vans Warped Tour Returns to Montreal After 30-Year Hiatus
The legendary Vans Warped Tour punk and alternative rock festival makes its long-awaited Canadian return to Montreal on August 21–22, 2026, with over 100 bands performing at Parc Jean-Drapeau.
The action-packed Vans Warped Tour is returning to Montréal in the summer of 2026 after a lengthy hiatus spanning three decades. The iconic punk festival will touch down at Parc Jean-Drapeau on August 21–22, marking one of the most anticipated international expansions of the revived festival.
Legendary Lineup and Festival Experience
The August 21–22 event features over 100 bands, including punk-pop favorites such as Jimmy Eat World, Yellowcard, Sublime, A Day to Remember, Taking Back Sunday, Thrice, Pennywise, Flogging Molly, and Bowling for Soup, alongside emerging acts and local legends like Montréal's The Planet Smashers. The festival will also showcase live skateboarding demonstrations and elite action sports performances, with artists selling merchandise directly from their own booths. All-inclusive weekend passes are priced at $149.98, and the event is all ages.
Anyone who attended the original Vans Warped Tour at Montréal's Hippodrome in 1996 will remember the iconic mosh pits and high-energy atmosphere. Now, 30 years later, the festival returns with the same blend of pop-punk, ska, hardcore, skate-punk, and metal that defined the original run.
For newcomers: This is an unmissable event for alternative rock and punk fans, and a great way to experience Montréal's vibrant music culture and festival community. Whether you're into nostalgia acts or discovering emerging talent, Warped Tour offers an all-ages, all-day festival experience that embodies Canadian concert culture.
