When We Were Young is a Las Vegas music festival created for fans of emo, pop punk, post hardcore, alternative rock and adjacent scenes. It’s built around the idea of hearing the songs that shaped a generation, live, in one place, with lineups that read like a greatest hits moment for the 2000s and early 2010s.

The festival takes place at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds in Winchester, Nevada, just off the Strip, and is produced by Live Nation. 

At its core, When We Were Young is about community and shared memory. It celebrates the music that defined youth culture for millions of listeners and the live energy that comes from singing those choruses together in a crowd.

The experience is designed to feel like a time capsule and a reunion at the same time, connecting long time fans with a new generation discovering the scene through playlists, reissues, and viral rediscovery.
