Grab your eyeliner, black clothes, and wristbands because Paramore, My Chemical Romance, and more will be performing at one of the biggest events ever. The most iconic 2000s emo and pop-punk bands are gathering for an event of a lifetime. Around seventy acts are lined up to perform at the “When We Were Young” music festival for a whole day.

Live Nation is hosting the event, and Paramore and My Chemical Romance are headlining the show. This will be Paramore’s first performance as a band since 2018. My Chemical Romance is making a comeback after seven years. The band initially ran from 2001 to 2013 but then broke up and reunited in 2019.

Other bands and artists such as Avril Lavinge, Bring Me The Horizon, A Day To Remember, Pierce the Veil, and more are among the show’s acts. The event will be held on Saturday, October 22, at Nevada’s Las Vegas Festival Grounds from eleven to midnight. 

Fans can preorder their tickets on January 21 on the event’s website. The presale opens at 7 a.m. ET (10 a.m. PT). Fans must put in a $19.99 down payment. General admission tickets start at $224.99 and go up by ten dollars with each tier. Other tickets include General Admission+ ($399), VIP ($499) and VIP Cabana ($499+).

Each package offers a variety of memorabilia for every punk rock fan. For instance, the General Admission package provides the basics: the performances, food choices, band/festival merch, access to the bar, and free water stations.

General Admisson+ offers everything in the previous tier; the only difference is air-conditioned bathrooms will be available. VIP offers the same as General Admission+ except they have charging stations to charge phones and a great view of the stage.

Lastly, the VIP Cabana is restricted to only twenty-one and older fans. They offer the same commodities, except fans can skip the lines for complimentary merchandise bottles of alcohol of your choice; it’s located by the main stage and is roped-off with security.
