Anthem Era

The return of Warped Tour in 2026 marks a major moment for alternative music as one of the scene’s most influential festivals steps into a new era.

For years, Warped Tour served as a defining space for pop punk, emo, and the wider alternative scene. It introduced new artists, gave rising bands a platform, and soundtracked summers for an entire generation. Its 2026 return arrives in a very different landscape, shaped by streaming, social media, and a renewed interest in the scene’s history.

Rather than a traditional cross-country run, Warped Tour 2026 is taking a destination-style approach, with select cities confirmed so far.
