When We Were Young Fest: Generations of Pop-Punk Fans Rejoice!

If you thought your pop-punk/emo phase ended as a teenager, think again. When We Were Young Festival is back for its fourth (third consecutive) year! As with the previous three years, the festival will be held in Las Vegas and feature a stellar lineup of some of the biggest and craziest bands.

While 2023 saw some big names (hello Blink-182 and Green Day!!) 2024 is bringing some legendary bands spanning multiple different teenage hair dye phases.

One amazing thing about this year’s festival is the fact that nearly all bands performing are playing sets that include one of their albums played in its entirety, rather than a curated setlist (My Chemical Romance is set to play their 2006 classic album The Black Parade). Generations of fans will get to see some of their favorite bands playing albums that defined their year, and it’s sure to be a crazy time!

Don’t want to miss it? Here is everything you need to know about the festival:

When is it?

The festival will take place on October 19th and 20th. The lineup is the same for both days.
