The Warning are back with new studio music. "Kerosene" drops this Friday, March 6 on all streaming platforms — and if you've been following where Daniela, Paulina, and Alejandra Villarreal have been heading, the timing makes a lot of sense. Pre-save is live now at thewarning.lnk.to/Kerosene.
The three sisters from Monterrey have been one of the most talked-about bands in rock for the better part of three years. "Kerosene" is the next move, and from everything surrounding this release, it feels like the opening of something larger rather than a one-off drop.
The Teaser
The band posted a 13-second teaser six days ago and let it sit. No press release, no lengthy announcement — just a track title, a date, and a pre-save link. That kind of restraint either means absolute confidence in the music or a rollout that has a lot more coming behind it. Given what The Warning has been building since Keep Me Fed, both feel plausible.
The title alone is doing work. "Kerosene" isn't subtle — it's accelerant, ignition, something that doesn't stay contained once it gets going. Whether the track matches that energy is something we'll all find out Friday, but the choice of name fits a band that has never been interested in playing it safe.
Where They've Been
Keep Me Fed (LAVA/Republic Records, June 2024) landed on Kerrang!'s 50 Best Albums of 2024 at No. 19 and Rock Sound's Top 24 Albums of 2024 at No. 11. It wasn't just critical recognition — it translated to bigger stages and a fanbase that followed them into rooms they hadn't played before.
After that cycle closed, The Warning dropped Live From Auditorio Nacional, CDMX in August 2025 — a live album paired with an AMC theatrical film that showed just how far they'd come from the viral YouTube covers era. They also appeared on a standalone collab single with Carín León that existed outside the main album trajectory.
"Kerosene" is the first signal of what comes next on the studio side. The direction in those 13 seconds is different. This one points somewhere.
The Warning's path has never followed a conventional arc. They started as three sisters from Monterrey playing covers in their living room — the kind of origin story that gets dismissed until the talent becomes impossible to ignore. By the time Keep Me Fed dropped, they were headlining theaters and turning up on major festival stages. That trajectory doesn't happen by accident, and it doesn't stall without a reason to push harder. "Kerosene" reads like the reason.
The Festival Run
The single drops right before The Warning steps into one of the biggest festival circuits in Latin America:
- March 13 — Lollapalooza Chile, Santiago
- March 15 — Lollapalooza Argentina, Buenos Aires
- March 18 — Asunciónico, Asunción, Paraguay
- March 20 — Festival Estéreo Picnic, Bogotá, Colombia
- March 21 — Lollapalooza Brasil, São Paulo
- March 28 — Festival Tecate Pa'l Norte, Monterrey, México
That's not accidental. They'll be playing "Kerosene" live in front of massive festival crowds before most people have had more than a week with it. A bold way to introduce a new era — but that's always been their style.
Three Lollapalooza stages across three countries, plus Estéreo Picnic in Bogotá, Asunciónico in Paraguay, and a homecoming slot at Festival Tecate Pa'l Norte in Monterrey — their own city. Six festival dates across five countries in sixteen days. That's not a promo run. That's a statement.
After Latin America: Yungblud UK & US Tour
The festival run is just the warmup. After wrapping South America and Mexico, The Warning head to the UK in April as support for Yungblud — playing sold-out arena dates across Dublin's 3Arena, Leeds First Direct Arena, Cardiff Utilita Arena, Glasgow's OVO Hydro, and Birmingham's Utilita Arena. Then in May and June, they move to the US for 16 more sold-out dates on the same run.
Every single one of those shows is sold out before "Kerosene" has even had a chance to land. That's the kind of leverage that doesn't come around often — walking into arena-sized rooms full of people who are about to hear your new song for the first time whether they came for you or not. It's a conversion opportunity that a lot of bands would kill for.
The full picture: six Latin American festival dates, five UK arenas, sixteen US shows. All in the space of about three months. All while introducing new studio material. This isn't a victory lap — this is how you build the next level.
Festival season is already loading across the board, and if you're keeping tabs on what's worth your attention in 2026, add The Warning to the top of the list. Make sure your 2026 album tracker is current — because "Kerosene" is just the first move.
"Kerosene" hits all platforms Friday, March 6. Pre-save it now.
