VANS WARPED TOUR EXPANDS GLOBALLY IN 2026 WITH NEW TOUR STOPS IN MONTREAL AND MEXICO CITY
Five City Tour Spans Three Countries with Stops in Washington D.C., Long Beach, Orlando, Montreal and Mexico City
The Vans Warped Tour is going global. The iconic music festival has unveiled its full 2026 tour schedule, including major stops in Montreal, Québec and Mexico City, Mexico, marking the tour’s first time in the latter. This expansion represents a powerful step forward for the Vans Warped Tour as it brings its unmatched live experience to new audiences across North America. The five-city run will also return to U.S. markets with two-day stops in Washington D.C., Long Beach, CA, and Orlando, FL, creating a cross-boarder celebration that spans three countries and honors over three decades of the festival’s cultural legacy.
After a five-year hiatus, Warped roared back to life in 2025 for its 30th anniversary, delivering three, sold-out, high-energy weekends that reminded fans exactly why the festival became a cultural force. In partnership with Insomniac, the experience creators behind some of the world’s largest music festivals and live events, Warped returned to massive crowds with unforgettable sets from All Time Low, The All-American Rejects, Avril Lavigne, Boys Like Girls, Gym Class Heroes, mgk, Simple Plan, State Champs, Sublime, Yellowcard and many more. The 2025 comeback proved the Warped spirit is alive and stronger than ever. Now, the 2026 expansion takes that momentum global, building a scalable, multi-market model that will bring the festival’s unmistakable energy to an even broader audience while retaining the iconic elements that have made the punk rock music festival a cultural touchstone for over three decades.

“Bringing Warped back to international stages is an exciting milestone,” said Kevin Lyman, Founder of the Vans Warped Tour. “Montreal and Mexico City are home to some of the most dedicated music fans in the world, and expanding into these cities lets us share the Warped spirit with even more people. It’s the perfect time to grow the tour and celebrate the global community that’s been with us from the beginning.”
The 2026 Vans Warped Tour will bring together artists spanning rock, punk, alternative, pop punk, rap, emo, hardcore, ska and more. Fans can expect a mix of legendary icons, returning festival favorites, and rising acts, with the official lineup set to be announced at the top of the year. The tour kicks off in Washington, D.C., at the Festival Grounds at RFK Campus on June 13 and 14, before heading to Long Beach, CA, on July 25 and 26 at the Downtown Long Beach Shoreline Waterfront. Warped then goes international to brand new cities, stopping in Montreal on August 21 and 22 at Parc Jean-Drapeau and Mexico City on September 12 and 13 at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, before wrapping up the year in Orlando, FL, at Camping World Stadium Campus on November 14 and 15.
Vans Warped Tour is proud to welcome back its powerhouse lineup of brand partners, including Vans, GHOST®, Beatbox Beverages, Slice Healthy Soda, Goodr, Neft Vodka and Ernie Ball in select markets, with more sponsors to be announced. GHOST® Energy returns as the official energy and hydration drink partner, keeping fans fueled for every high-energy moment on the tour.

Palace Bar Is the Pulse of Miami Beach Pride 2026
Set across from the restored rainbow crosswalk, this Ocean Drive favorite is once again becoming the heart of Miami Beach Pride.
April 8, 2026
As Miami Beach Pride 2026 returns to Ocean Drive this April, Palace Bar Miami Beach is once again set to be one of the biggest centers of the celebration. Known for its drag shows, open-air dining, and longtime place in South Florida’s LGBTQ+ community, Palace will host a full schedule of Pride Week events while standing directly across from one of the most meaningful new symbols of the weekend: the restored rainbow crosswalk in Miami Beach.
On Friday, April 10, the City of Miami Beach will unveil the rebuilt LGBTQIA+ rainbow crosswalk in Lummus Park, just steps from the Palace on Ocean Drive. The installation was recreated using 3,606 salvaged pavers from the original 2009 crosswalk, giving the city a renewed and permanent symbol of LGBTQ+ visibility, unity, and pride. Its location across from the Palace makes the venue a natural backdrop for one of the most talked-about moments of Miami Beach Pride 2026.
That visibility is nothing new for Palace. Owned by Tom Donall, a co-founder of Miami Beach Pride, Palace has spent nearly four decades building its reputation as one of the most iconic LGBTQ+ venues in Miami Beach. For locals and visitors alike, it has become a go-to destination for drag entertainment, brunch, nightlife, and community on Ocean Drive.
This year’s Palace Bar Miami Beach Pride lineup runs from April 8 through April 12 and includes some of the week’s biggest events. The schedule features the Miami Beach Pride Pageant on April 8, the Haus of Gucci Ball on April 10, and a full weekend of brunches, rooftop events, performances, and DJ sets from Oscar Velasquez and Jrny. Pride weekend will close on Sunday, April 12, with a major final celebration featuring DJ Dani Brasil and appearances by RuPaul’s Drag Race stars Jimbo and Trinity the Tuck.
With the return of the rainbow crosswalk and a major lineup of performances and events, Palace is positioned to be one of the defining destinations of Miami Beach Pride 2026. The venue continues to bring together nightlife, performance, and LGBTQ+ culture in a way that feels both celebratory and deeply rooted in Miami Beach’s history.
