When We Were Young 2022: How to Get Last-Minute Tickets to the Pop-Punk Music Festival Online
The When We Were Young festival, a monument to the glory days of emo/pop-punk nostalgia, is set to kick off this weekend in Sin City. The Vegas-based fest is hosting their inaugural year at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds on Oct. 22, 23 and 29, with Paramore and My Chemical Romance, fresh off their reunion tour, sharing the headlining bill. The mall goth-esque lineup of Bring Me the Horizon, A Day to Remember, Avril Lavigne, Bright Eyes, and Jimmy Eat World are also set to perform.
Unlike Lollapalooza, Coachella, and the Austin City Limits fest, When We Were Young has yet to join the livestream game this year. The only way to catch the weekend’s sets is to be there in real life. Still need When We Were Young tickets? Get ready to wake up in Vegas with a pass in your hand.
