Hot on the heels of this year's installment of When We Were Young, at which My Chemical Romance performed The Black Parade in its entirety, the Las Vegas festival has announced a bumper bill for next year.
blink-182 and Panic! At The Disco have been announced for next October's shindig, with the latter getting back together for one night only to celebrate 20 years of their A Fever You Can't Sweat Out debut with a full run-through, and blink doing a retro set of songs from Enema Of The State and Take Off Your Pants And Jacket.
It wouldn't be When We Were Young without a tonne of other bands making it severely tempting to drop an awful lot of money on a holiday in Sin City. To wit, they've also announced appearances from (deep breath...):
Weezer, Avril Lavigne, The Offspring, The Used, All Time Low, Knocked Loose, Alexisonfire, Never Shout Never, The Cab, The Rocket Summer, Jack’s Mannequin, The Gaslight Anthem, Bad Religion, I Prevail, Beartooth, Mayday Parade, Loathe, Yellowcard, Simple Plan, Taking Back Sunday, Ice Nine Kills, Motionless In White, Asking Alexandria, PVRIS, We Came As Romans, Story Of The Year, Breathe Carolina, Sleeping With Sirens, The Starting Line, Plain White T's, Destroy Boys, The Maine, Set Your Goals, We The Kings, Crown The Empire, The Amity Affliction, Don Broco, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Taylor Acorn, Straylight Run, The Summer Set, Holding Absence and The Movielife.
After teasing that they were coming back for "proper" farewell shows back in April, the fest also has the first announced show for letlive.
When We Were Young takes place at Las Vegas Festival Grounds on October 18, 2025.
