Fans of pop-punk and emo rock, mark your calendars! The highly anticipated When We Were Young Festival will re-sit at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds on 18 October 2025, and the lineup this year is truly legendary. A cult band, Blink-182, is on tap to open the event with an explosive set that features their decade-long catalog of hits.
But the thrill doesn’t end there. With Blink-182 on stage will be an elite group of artists that shaped the alternative music landscape. Panic! at the Disco will bring their theatre and hit songs to the festival, and Weezer have a combination of classic and modern hits. And don’t forget Avril Lavigne, whose pop-punk anthems made her one of the era’s voice. Both of these acts are slated to deliver a nostalgic rebirth of music that defined a generation.
When We Were Young Festival is an event for fans of alternative and emo, with lineups that are something out of a early-2000s greatest-hits playlist. As Blink-182 continues to roll, 2025 promises to be one of the best in years. You are guaranteed a day of high-octane songs, crowd-pleasing spectacle, and a kind of camaraderie that only this genre could deliver.
If you’ve been a fan of these bands for years or are looking to get back into the sounds that ruled your childhood, then this festival will be unlike any other. From Blink-182’s childish pop hits “All the Small Things” and “What’s My Age Again?” to Panic! at the Disco’s melodramatic performances of “I Write Sins Not Tragedies,” every act is going to be a treat.
If you’ve ever felt nostalgic as you blast your favorite pop-punk and emo songs, the 2025 When We Were Young Festival is your chance to feel that spell for yourself. So get your tickets, bring your friends, and get ready for an unforgettable day of music, memories, and the undisputed buzz of Las Vegas.
