Blink-182 and Green Day to Headline When We Were Young 2023
This year’s When We Were Young hasn’t even happened yet, but the throwback music festival has already announced its lineup for 2023, which boasts Green Day and the newly reunited Blink-182 as headliners.
The headliners mark a noticeable shift from emo (this year’s headliners are My Chemical Romance and Paramore) to pop-punk, with the lineup also featuring 30 Seconds to Mars, the Offspring, Good Charlotte, 5 Seconds of Summer, All Time Low, Pierce the Veil, Rise Against, Yellowcard, Sum 41, Simple Plan and New Found Glory.
