When We Were Young festival reunites emo acts from 1990s-2000s with a twist of metal. A time for smudged eyeliner, bobby pins and jet-black hair fringe has arrived.
Live Nation has announced a celebration of nostalgia with the biggest night in rock music since the “Black Parade” descended on Rockefeller Center for the MTV Video Music Awards in 2006.
The When We Were Young festival is going down with some of the most iconic acts in emo and pop-punk music of the last two decades, including My Chemical Romance, Paramore, Dashboard Confessional, Jimmy Eat World, Bright Eyes, Taking Back Sunday, The Used, Alkaline Trio and AFI, to name a few expected to appear at the one-day-only showcase at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds in Nevada on Saturday, Oct. 22.
