The Vans Warped Tour is coming to Mexico for the first time on September 12th and 13th, 2026, at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico City. Following legendary stops in Washington, Long Beach, and Montreal—with Florida slated for November 14–15—the lineup many have been waiting for is finally here.

With so many international and local artists, choosing just five to recommend has been difficult but necessary to make the most of the festival. From punk and emo to alternative, rap, and dark pop, these five artists offer a taste of the diverse sounds you can expect at this year’s festival.

Listen along below:

Tungas

The group has confirmed that this is likely to be their final appearance on the Warped Tour. Tungas started in a garage in 2005 and has since built a 20-year career. Tungas features Aldo Camacho on vocals, Conrado del Campo on bass, Daniel Rojas on drums, and guitarists Negri Revueltas, Luis Espinosa, and Javier López. Having known and collaborated for years, their long-standing friendship has become an important part of Tungas’ story. After seven years without new music, Tungas will return with a single that will premiere during their performance this Sunday at the festival.

Say Ocean

Say Ocean is the Mexican pop-punk band that will take you back to your MySpace days. One of Mexico's most recognized pop-punk bands, Say Ocean is known for their emotive lyrics and energetic sound. The four-piece features vocalist Santiago “Santi” López, guitarist Pato Rivera, bassist Jorge “Choche” Chávez, and drummer Juan Carlos Castillo. Santi loves to dive into the crowd — I say this from personal experience, as I've witnessed the palpable energy among the solid fanbase they've cultivated over the years.

Segundos Auxilios

The masked duo from Zacatecas, Mario y Fran, hold so much lore you didn't know you needed for your playlist. Now that it’s been revealed they're actually Crash Tech Dummies from a car commercial, they've released Magnetocolonizacioncerebraldechipserroneospormetodosubtextilconfinesdepublicidadautomotriz, an album that details every twist of their journey and helps you piece it together. Segundos Auxilios are a Mexican indie punk band you won’t want to miss, embodying the Warped Tour vibe with their DIY techniques and a sound that’s raw, noisy, and fast.

Kevis y Maykyy

The only rappers in the lineup — and for good reason. Kevis y Maykyy are three brothers from Monterrey who started making music during the pandemic: Kevin Sebastián (Kevis) and José Miguel (Maykyy), sometimes accompanied by their brother Bali. Rap with guitars giving a new air to hip-hop, the dynamic trio is here to have fun and tempt you to broaden your musical horizons.

DeathbyRomy

For the girlies and theys, DeathbyRomy is an American singer-songwriter born in Los Angeles. Her music is closely tied to her gothic-inspired image, with dramatic makeup, dark clothing, and a theatrical aesthetic. Expect emotionally intense themes with relatable lyrics as well as high-energy sounds that will compel you to let loose.
