Last night, the third annual When We Were Young festival rolled into the Vegas desert for the ultimate throwback to the days of Top 8 friends, skintight jeans and commenting 'rawr xox' on every picture we see. Headlined by My Chemical Romance and Fall Out Boy, the entire festival is dedicated to revisiting classic albums from the halcyon days of the early/mid-2000s with MCR doing The Black Parade, A Day To Remember doing Homesick, Jimmy Eat World doing Bleed American, Taking Back Sunday doing Tell All Your Friends... the list goes on. Although FOB did opt for a career-spanning set, which, after their sensational Download headliner, we didn't mind at all.

As we try to readjust back to normality and having to tone down the eyeliner (a bit), have a swipe through the galleries below to see some of our favourite sets of the fest.
