When We Were Young Announces Massive 2023 Lineup with Green Day and Blink-182

Jared Stossel

Earlier this morning, news broke that Blink-182 had reunited with guitarist/vocalist Tom DeLonge, and the band would be heading out on the road for a lengthy world tour. The last date listed for 2023 was October 21st in Las Vegas, CA for When We Were Young Festival. Now, the full lineup for the second edition of the highly anticipated festival has arrived, and it boasts a lineup featuring a co-headlining spot held by Green Day and Blink-182. Fans have not seen the two bands perform together since the “Pop Disaster Tour” that traversed Northern California back in 2002.

The lineup lists The Offspring, Good Charlotte, 5 Seconds of Summer, 30 Seconds to Mars, Pierce The Veil, Thrice, and so many more. What’s most stunning may be the inclusion of Something Corporate, Say Anything, Yellowcard, and The Academy Is…. The latter two acts recently reunited at Chicago’s Riot Fest earlier this year (see our recap of Day 2 and Day 3 here), but the former two haven’t played a proper show in years. Andrew McMahon’s former Something Corporate band mates recently jumped on stage with him for a song on his recent solo tour, but there’s never been an official reunion. This is a show that is not to be missed.

Pre-sale tickets will be available this Friday at 10 AM PST. For more information on ticketing, you can visit the festival’s website. You can view the insane lineup for 2023 below.

The inaugural edition of When Were Young Festival kicks off next Saturday, October 22nd in Las Vegas with My Chemical Romance, Paramore, and more.
