Vans Warped Tour Announce Lineup For Washinton DC

Official Announcement | Published: Mar 09, 2026 3:04 PM EDT

(The Syndicate) Vans Warped Tour, one of the most iconic, successful, and longest-running music festivals in history has officially revealed the first highly anticipated line-up, which will be hosted in Washington DC this June 13-14.

The Washington, DC stop will take over the Festival Grounds at RFK Campus, just east of RFK Stadium, placing the festival in the heart of the nation's capital with easy access to vibrant neighborhoods like Capitol Hill, Eastern Market, and the Anacostia River waterfront.

Keeping with tradition, the full line-up listed alphabetically, which keeps the focus on the collective experience rather than headliners, the stacked line-up boasts a diverse mix of artists that span generations of alternative music, from genre-defining favorites like Jimmy Eat World and Dance Gavin Dance to rock staples such as Third Eye Blind, New Found Glory, Glassjaw, and rising voices like The Paradox and People R Ugly.

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 Vans Warped Tour's legacy while embracing a broader, more global future for one of music and skate culture's most enduring live platforms.

Furthering their mission of artist discovery and fan-first ideology, last month Vans Warped Tour launched the first look at the artists performing this year with multiple artists being announced daily over the past 30-ish days exclusively on Vans Warped Tour social platforms.

In addition to Washington DC, Vans Warped Tour is expanding its footprint and cultural impact after last year's three sold-out U.S dates, as the tour will deliver five two-day festivals returning to Long Beach, CA, and Orlando, FL, including the launch of two all-new international editions in Montreal, Canada and Mexico City, Mexico, marking a powerful global expansion.

Founded by Kevin Lyman in 1995, Vans Warped Tour built a singular legacy as the definitive summer festival for rock and alternative music fans, shaping generations of artists and audiences alike. Founded in 1995, Vans Warped Tour was never just a concert series; it was a proving ground, cultural crossroads, and community-driven platform where established acts shared stages with emerging talent, often at pivotal moments in their careers.
