Fans of pop-punk and emo rejoice! Due to overwhelming demand, When We Were Young Festival has officially added a second day for its highly anticipated 2025 edition. The festival will take place on October 18 and October 19, 2025, at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds, featuring the same iconic lineup on both days.

With Panic! At The Disco and blink-182 headlining, the 2025 festival promises to be one for the history books. Panic! will rise from retirement to perform their breakout album A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out in its entirety, while blink-182 will take fans on a nostalgic ride through their legendary albums Enema of the State, Take Off your Pants and Jacket, and Blink-182.

Joining them on the stacked lineup are some of the biggest names in pop-punk and alternative rock, including Avril Lavigne, The Offspring, Weezer, Knocked Loose, The Used, Yellowcard, Simple Plan, Taking Back Sunday, and many more. The festival will also feature a mix of veteran and rising acts, bringing together generations of emo and punk fans for an unforgettable weekend. This is a two-day spectacle of some of the genre’s most impactful heavyweights, but it cannot go without mentioning that the lineup has caused much controversy across social media for its lack of representation. The list is only 3% women and 0.5% non-binary artists, numbers that are startling in 2025—a year where inclusivity is crucial. With all this being said, it suggests a moment of reflection on the genre as a whole; Are we offering every artist an equal opportunity to be heard?

For those who missed out on initial ticket sales, this is a second chance to relive the golden era of Warped Tour. Presale registration is now open, and tickets for Day 2 will officially go on sale this Friday, February 28, at 10:00 a.m. PT. Payment plans are available, with tickets starting at just $19.99 down.

Since its debut, When We Were Young has solidified itself as a must-attend event, bringing together the best of pop-punk, emo, and alternative nostalgia. With the addition of a second day again in 2025, listeners have another opportunity to experience the festival’s electric atmosphere—but act fast. Fans have been sitting on waitlists since the first day sold-out on pre-sale, tickets will go quickly!

Fans looking to secure their spot can register now for presale access on When We Were Young’s official website. Given the rapid sellout of previous years and 2025’s first day, early registration is highly recommended.
