What’s confirmed for the Washington stop

The 2026 Vans Warped Tour stop in Washington, D.C., is scheduled for June 13–14 at the RFK Campus festival grounds. A roster circulating on Monday lists all but three slots as confirmed for the two-day event, indicating the booking process is nearing completion while leaving room for late additions.

The announced bill spans punk, pop-punk, alternative rock, hardcore and metal, with a mix of legacy acts and newer artists. The lineup also signals a two-day, multi-stage format typical of large festival operations, with artist order and daily splits expected to be published closer to the event.

Artists named in the roster so far

The listed performers include 3OH!3, All That Remains, American Hi-Fi, Anberlin, Arm’s Length, Bad Cop Bad Cop, Bayside, Beauty School Dropout, Boston Manor, Breathe Carolina, Bryce Vine, Caskets, Coheed and Cambria, Crown The Empire, Dance Gavin Dance, Drug Church, Enter Shikari, From First To Last, Glassjaw, GWAR, Hawthorne Heights, Hoobastank, Hot Mulligan, I Set My Friends On Fire, iann dior, Initiate, Jimmy Eat World, Jinjer, Killswitch Engage, Lambrini Girls, Meet Me @ The Altar, MxPx, New Found Glory, Norma Jean, Nova Twins, Of Mice & Men, Pain of Truth, Plain White T’s, Rise Against, Sleeping With Sirens, Story of the Year, Suicidal Tendencies, Suicide Silence, Sunami, Taking Back Sunday, The Academy Is…, The Devil Wears Prada, The Dollyrots, The Early November, The Ghost Inside, The Menzingers, The Story So Far, The Used, Third Eye Blind, Thrice, Underoath, Upon A Burning Body, Varials, Waterparks, and Yellowcard, among others. The list includes three “TBA” placeholders.

  • Dates: June 13–14, 2026

  • Location: RFK Campus festival grounds, Washington, D.C.

  • Status: all but three slots listed as confirmed

How this fits into Warped Tour’s current model

Warped Tour relaunched as a limited-run series of destination-style events rather than the cross-country, daily touring format that defined much of its earlier history. The Washington weekend is positioned as one of the flagship U.S. dates in 2026, with ticketing already available through major ticketing platforms listing the RFK Campus venue for June 13 and June 14.

What remains unknown

While the near-complete roster provides a clear picture of the event’s scale, key operational details have not been published in a final form: which artists play which day, set times, stage assignments, on-site policies, and the identities of the three remaining acts. Any changes between early rosters and final festival schedules are common, particularly as routing, production requirements, and artist availability are finalized.

With only three lineup slots listed as “TBA,” the Washington, D.C., stop appears close to a finalized 2026 bill.

Organizers are expected to issue a complete daily schedule and festival guidance in the lead-up to the June 2026 weekend.
