The When We Were Young Festival hasn’t even kicked off its inaugural run, but the nostalgic emo-rock-centered festival is already planning a return for 2023. Among next year’s performers are Green Day and Blink-182, who will be headlining the day-long festival. Other performers include Joyce Manor, 30 Seconds To Mars, The Offspring, Bowling For Soup, 5 Seconds Of Summer, and more.
The 2023 festival will take place that Saturday, October 21 at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds.
The news of Blink-182’s participation in the festival arrives shortly after the announcement of a tour featuring the band’s original members, Mark Hoppus, Tom Delonge, and Travis Barker. Ahead of their tour, which kicks off March 11, 2023, in Tijuana, Mexico, the band will release a new single this Friday (October 14) called “Edging.”
Later this month, the inaugural When We Were Young festival will take place beginning October 22 and 23, and with a third and final date of October 29. This year’s line-up will feature My Chemical Romance, Paramore, Avril Lavigne, A Day To Remember, and many others.
Presales for the 2023 festival begin this Friday, October 14. Check out the full lineup for the 2023 iteration below.
