When We Were Young, the rock festival targeting the millennial generation right in the feels, is taking place in less than two weeks. Already, a 2023 installment has been announced. Like this year's inaugural festival, the 2023 lineup is absolutely stacked.
Taking place October 21, 2023 at the Las Vegas Festival Ground, When We Were Young will be headlined by Green Day and a reunited blink-182. The festival's lineup boasts a long list of major acts including 30 Seconds To Mars, The Offspring, Good Charlotte, 5 Seconds of Summer and All Time Low, Yellowcard, Rise Against, Sum 41, Pierce the Veil, Gym Class Heroes, Michelle Branch, Thrice, Rise Against, Simple Plan, New Found Glory and many more.

Blink-182 Reunites with Tom DeLonge, Fans Are Feeling This
Blink-182 has made it official: Tom DeLonge is back, new music is on the way and they're hitting the road for a massive tour.
The trio announced the news via the video below in which they confirmed: "They're coming." (Get it?) Oh, and a new studio album is also coming with the first single, "Edging," due out this Friday, October 14 and is available for pre-save/pre-add here. (Call it a hunch, but I don't think the song is about lawn maintenance.)
As for their tour, tickets go on sale to the general public on Monday, October 17 at 10 AM local time. In addition to their own headlining reunion tour, blink-182 will be hitting up a number of festivals including Lollapalooza in Argentina and Brazil and 2023's When We Were Young. A full list of tour dates is below.
As expected, the loyal blink fanbase collectively lost their minds when all of this news is confirmed. You can see their joy in all its glory in the tweets below.
