The Warning from the 2026 Lollapalooza Argentina festival in Buenos Aires, recorded literally yesterday (March 15,2026).
No doubt, I am not alone when I say I have a wild crush on all three Villarreal Valéz sisters. It’s a sentiment shared by millions, and steadily growing. So sadly, I am not alone (sigh!). Amazing when you consider that, just a few years ago, they were kids who persevered and showed the world on no uncertain terms that these three girls from Monterey Mexico could rock.
They are adults now and proof they were no fluke; they are drop-dead serious and their popularity has spread internationally.
The Warning’s first full-length album, XXI Century Blood, was released in 2017. The music video for the title track won several awards at film festivals. During this period, they were invited to perform at the Mother of All Rock Festival in Monterrey, and also opened a show for The Killers in that city.
Their second album, Queen of the Murder Scene, was released in 2018. In 2019, The Warning performed at Rock al Parque, the biggest rock festival in Latin America. At the end of 2019, they announced an extensive upcoming tour throughout North America, though it was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In August 2020, The Warning signed a five-album deal with Lava Records and began work on a new album with producer David Bendeth. The song, “Choke”, was released in May 2021. Later that year, The Warning appeared on the Metallica tribute album, The Metallica Blacklist, performing another cover of “Enter Sandman“, this time with singer Alessia Cara. This version of the song was featured as the background music for the video game Marvel’s Midnight Suns and the Netflix series The Imperfects.
The six-song EP Mayday was released in October 2021, and The Warning embarked on a tour of North America in early 2022, performing more than 30 dates as headliners plus opening for Foo Fighters, Sammy Hagar and the Circle, and Stone Temple Pilots.
They released the single, “Money”, in March 2022, and the song reached number 31 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Airplay chart.
In spring of 2025, the band started a new leg of their Keep Me Fed tour, including three sold-out nights at Auditorio Nacional in Mexico City, with one being recorded for a live album and film. They also toured in South America and Europe. The band later joined Halsey as an opening act for part of the singer’s North-American For My Last Trick tour. During the summer, they performed at several European rock festivals such as Sweden Rock, Rock im Park and Rock am Ring (where they joined Dead Poet Society again on stage), Nova Rock, and Pinkpop. The band toured further in the United States in summer 2025, and they wrapped up their 2025 schedule in August at the Pachuca Rock Fest in Mexico.
The band’s first concert film Live from Auditorio Nacional, CDMX was released in theaters in August 2025.
They are currently on tour, wrapping up the South America leg before heading over to Europe for a whole pile of dates and then the U.S. for a whole pile more. And then they head home in September – no word if there’s a late 2026 set of dates – but there are enough U.S. dates that one should be near you – so grab seats.
In the meantime – crank it up and dive into lunch.
