The Warning Kick Off 2026 Latin America Run at Lollapalooza Chile This Friday

Three days from now, the Villarreal sisters walk onstage at Lollapalooza Chile. That's the start of a six-date run across five countries in sixteen days — and if the momentum behind "Kerosene" is any indication of where The Warning are headed in 2026, this stretch of Latin American festivals is going to be loud.

The Full Routing

Here's what the next three weeks look like for Daniela, Paulina, and Alejandra:

  • March 13 — Lollapalooza Chile, Parque O'Higgins, Santiago, Chile
  • March 15 — Lollapalooza Argentina, Hipódromo de San Isidro, Buenos Aires, Argentina
  • March 17–19 — Asuncionico, Asunción, Paraguay
  • March 20 — Festival Estéreo Picnic, Parque Simón Bolívar, Bogotá, Colombia
  • March 20–22 — Lollapalooza Brasil, São Paulo, Brazil
  • March 27–29 — Tecate Pal Norte, Monterrey, Mexico

Five countries. Four Lollapalooza editions (Chile, Argentina, Brasil, plus Estéreo Picnic). And a homecoming slot in Monterrey at Tecate Pal Norte to close it out.

The São Paulo date at Lollapalooza Brasil is particularly notable — Parque Anhembi hosts one of the largest festival crowds in South America, and The Warning have been building toward headline-level shows in that market for two years. This isn't their first Latin American run, but the scale of this one is different.

Kerosene Fuel

The timing of this run against the release of "Kerosene" — which dropped March 6 via LAVA/Republic Records — is deliberate. The single is their most aggressive studio output since Keep Me Fed landed in June 2024, built on a hyper-charged drum groove and a riff that doesn't negotiate. It's road-ready in every way a new single should be before a festival run.

"Kerosene" is The Warning's second release of 2026, following their country-crossover collaboration with Carín León. The pivot back to hard rock territory is sharp and intentional — you don't build a setlist around a ballad when you're about to play Lollapalooza Chile in front of 50,000 people.

Why This Matters

The Warning's Latin American standing is increasingly difficult to categorize as "regional" success. They've been on Metallica's radar publicly and have taken that credibility beyond the hemisphere. Booking across four iterations of Lollapalooza in a single month — plus Asuncionico and Estéreo Picnic — signals that promoters in this market are treating them as a genuine draw, not a supporting act to be shuffled through the schedule.

Their trajectory since Keep Me Fed has been one of steadily expanding stages. This run lands them in front of combined audiences that most hard rock acts would spend years working toward.

For fans outside Latin America tracking the band's global momentum, this is the stretch to watch. The setlist coming out of Santiago on March 13 will almost certainly include "Kerosene," and whatever else the sisters have been building toward in the studio.
