A new music festival has emo and punk rock fans (like myself) floored by a truly iconic and star-studded lineup. It’s not just a phase mom!
When We Were Young festival has over 60 bands performing including some legendary noteworthy names such as Avril Lavigne, My Chemical Romance, Paramore, Pierce the Veil, Sleeping with Sirens, Jimmy Eat World, the All American Rejects and so many more. This nostalgia packed lineup is sure to excite all.

The show will be held at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds on October 22nd and 23rd. Although they initially intended to host a one-day show, there was an overwhelming demand for a second show to be added. Both days will share the exact same lineup to assure fans won’t miss a thing. Tickets have already sold out, but fans can sign up for a waitlist in hopes of snagging a last-minute ticket.
Although the excitement for the festival is evident, a lot of fans have expressed their concerns for safety of the show. The festival is presented by Live Nation Entertainment who was responsible for the planning, staffing and communication surrounding Travis Scott’s Astroworld music festival in Houston, Texas. The popular festival resulted in 10 deaths and hundreds of injuries.
The company is facing multiple lawsuits and an investigation is ongoing looking into how Live Nation planned for potential safety hazards.
The company responded to concerns and assured fans that this concerts safety measures have been thoroughly planned to prevent any casualties.
Let’s hope for the sake of all of us reminiscing on our emo phase, or those still stuck in their emo phase, that this festival is a hit!
