\n\tPolitical messages mixed with energetic rock vibes at the When We Were Young festival<\/a> in Las Vegas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe fourth annual iteration of the 7-Eleven-sponsored event \u2014 celebrating all things pop-punk, emo and hardcore punk \u2014 took place at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds on Saturday and Sunday, with all artists playing sets on both days. Panic! at the Disco and Blink-182<\/a> were the headliners, while other prominent acts included Weezer<\/a>, Avril Lavigne<\/a>, The Offspring, Simple Plan, All Time Low, The Used, Knocked Loose, Taking Back Sunday and Yellowcard.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cYou guys having fun?\u201d Blink-182 vocalist and bassist Mark Hoppus asked the crowd on Saturday. \u201cWell, knock that shit off. This is an emo show, motherfucker.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSpecial drop-ins included Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley, who joined ex-wife Lavigne onstage Sunday for a rendition of his band\u2019s hit \u201cIn Too Deep.\u201d On Saturday, Lavigne welcomed Simple Plan singer and fellow Canadian Pierre Bouvier for a performance of their song \u201cYoung & Dumb.\u201d Additionally, singer Blackbear joined All Time Low for a live rendition of their 2020 single \u201cMonsters\u201d for the first time ever.<\/p>\n

\n\tAmong the festival\u2019s highlights was the first live performance from Panic! at the Disco since the band called it quits in early 2023. The group started the set with debut album A Fever You Can\u2019t Sweat Out in its entirety, in honor of its 20th anniversary. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI want to say thank you for 20 years of chaos and beauty,\u201d lead singer Brendon Urie told the crowd during the Saturday show. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe festival\u2019s first day coincided with the \u201cNo Kings\u201d protests<\/a> denouncing the Trump<\/a> administration, and some of the performers\u2019 actions reflected the anti-establishment spirit associated with punk rock. The Offspring\u2019s guitarist Noodles wore a black \u201cNo Kings<\/a>\u201d T-shirt during the set, while Story of the Year\u2019s bassist Adam Russell donned a shirt with the message \u201cDestroy American Fascism.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tMidway through the Used\u2019s set, the band unveiled a \u201cFreedom for Palestine\u201d flag at the back of their stage. Singer Bert McCracken was greeted with a cheer when he declared, \u201cFreedom for fucking Palestine!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Political messages mixed with energetic rock vibes at the When We Were Young festival in Las Vegas.
