When We Were Young festival lineup is the perfect emo throwback

Get ready to cut those bangs and remind your mum that it’s not a phase because the end of all emo festival lineups has just dropped, and its the greatest cross-over ever! 

The golden age of emo returns as My Chemical Romance, Paramore, Mayday Parade, and more sign up for When We Were Young Festival! The Emo festival is coming to Las Vegas in October, bringing pretty much every single emo-pop band you remember from the 2000s along with it.

To put it simply, the lineup looks like somebody hacked my iPod from 2009. Joining the headliners at the festival, which will take place at the Las Vegas Showgrounds on Saturday, October 22, will be a host of familiar names including AFI, The Used, Bring Me The Horizon, Taking Back Sunday, Dashboard Confessional, Alkaline Trio, A Day To Remember, Pierce The Veil, Sleeping With Sirens, Palaye Royale, Wolf Alice, Poppy, Atreyu, PVRIS, Glassjaw, Jimmy Eat World, Avril Lavigne, Motionless in White, Black Veil Brides, Neck Deep, Knocked Loose, Ice Nine Kills, Palaye Royale and Bright Eyes.

Where’s my veteran’s discount for the When We Were Young fest….as an elder emo I survived summers at Vans Warped Tour in the pit living off 2 chicken nuggets in the 2010s

The killers are from las Vegas and one of their popular songs, if not the most popular, is when we were young and … the band is no where on the listing for a emo fest celebrating millennial pop rock … named after the song… in the city of Las Vegas.
