When We Were Young festival is coming back to Las Vegas in 2025, promising another unforgettable experience for fans of pop-punk and emo music. Just a week and a half from now, the 2024 edition was a complete thumping success, with great news announced by festival organizers about the exciting lineups that will feature some of the biggest names of the genre.
Special Performance of Panic! At The Disco
One of the highlights that people are looking forward to in the 2025 festival is Panic! At The Disco, a performance that will mark two decades since the release of their debut album, A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out. The frontman Brendon Urie has been in charge of the band from its inception. In January 2023, he declared that he would retire after the end of the band, which would mean that there would be no more than seven studio albums. But this is a one-time-only performance and an opportunity for fans to see Urie perform live again.
Whether Urie will be accompanied by his original band members from the Fever era or not is not known yet, but this event is a must-see. The festival is going to be a journey down memory lane for all those who have followed Urie and his musical journey over the years.
