Step aside, Warped Tour. The emo kid inside everyone has awakened thanks to the 2022 When We Were Young Festival, with some fans already looking forward to the impressive and nostalgia-filled lineup.
The single-day Las Vegas festival includes performances from A Day to Remember and lists My Chemical Romance as a headliner. This event will be one of the first times this band hits the stage since their postponed reunion tour, previously impacted by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
The other headliner, Paramore, will take the stage together for the first time in four years, performing hits off of their newest album. (Hayley Williams recently released her solo music, spending some time working with her “Good Dye Young” hair product company.)
