Annual music festival When We Were Young has announced a couple of changes for the 2025 lineup: new additions of post-hardcore band Chiodos and punk act DRAIN will now join the epic lineup of artists spanning the pop-punk, emo, and hardcore genres.
The bands will replace previously announced sets from Sleeping With Sirens and Never Shout Never, who will no longer perform “due to reasons beyond our control,” according to the festival.
Sleeping With Sirens has also recently canceled their headlining tour due to a health emergency for frontman Kellin Quinn’s family, announced on the band’s social media.
The two-day festival will showcase highly anticipated performances from reuniting Panic! At The Disco and a full performance of their debut 2005 album A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out, and blink-182‘s celebration of their early works Enema of the State (1999), Take Off Your Pants and Jacket (2001), and self-titled album (2003), alongside headlining performances by Weezer, Avril Lavigne, The Offspring, All Time Low, and more.
Remaining tickets and more information about When We Were Young are available on the festival’s official website, here.
