The When We Were Young Festival, set to take place in Las Vegas this October 2025, has just announced that it will extend to a second day. This expansion follows an overwhelming demand from fans eager to see their favorite bands grace the stage. The festival will run from October 18 to 19 at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds, and the addition of a second day provides music lovers another opportunity to experience the same stellar lineup across two days. The lineup remains the same for both days, a major highlight being the headlining acts Panic! At The Disco and Blink-182.

Panic! At The Disco will perform their debut album A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out in full, commemorating its 20th anniversary, while Blink-182 is set to deliver a retrospective set. Fans will surely relish in the nostalgia with bands like Weezer, Avril Lavigne, The Offspring, and All Time Low all on the bill. They are joined by The Used, Knocked Loose, Simple Plan, and many others, creating a nostalgia-packed lineup that aims to teleport attendees back to an era where emo and punk rock ruled the airwaves.

This year marks the fourth installment of the When We Were Young Festival, which has solidified its reputation as a nostalgic haven for fans of punk, emo, and alternate rock music. The impressive lineup includes bands that were staples of the early 2000s, bands that many attendees grew up listening to on repeat. The festival offers not just a trip down memory lane but also a celebration of enduring music that continues to resonate with audiences today.

Tickets for the newly added second day will go on presale on February 28 at 10:00 a.m. PST. Attendees can also expect performances from bands like Ice Nine Kills, Yellowcard, Motionless In White, and Beartooth, to name a few, with each bringing their unique style and energy to the iconic festival grounds.
