Not a Phase
Weezer, Avril Lavigne, and the Offspring will also play the Las Vegas festival next October
Next year’s When We Were Young festival has a stacked lineup, with Panic! At the Disco and Blink-182 at the top of the list. The bands will be joined as well by Weezer, Avril Lavigne, the Offspring, All Time Low, and many more.
Taking place at Las Vegas Festival Grounds on Oct. 18, 2025, the bill also includes the Used, Bad Religion, Knocked Loose, Simple Plan, and Taking Back Sunday. There will also be rare performances from Never Shout Never, the Cab, the Rocket Summer, and Jack’s Mannequin.
According to the festival’s press release, this will be the only chance to catch Panic! At the Disco performing A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out in its entirety. The band will be celebrating the album’s 20th anniversary. Last year, sole remaining member Brendon Urie announced that he would discontinue performing under the name. It’s unclear whether Urie will be performing with the most recent lineup of the band or with its original lineup, which would include their debut album’s primary songwriter Ryan Ross who left the band in 2009.
When We Were Young has annually taken place in Las Vegas since 2022. Blink-182 previously co-headlined the festival in 2023 alongside Green Day. This year’s festival featured several emo and pop-punk bands playing their most popular albums in its entirety, including headliners My Chemical Romance running through The Black Parade.
