Aptly named When We Were Young, the gritty rock festival that debuted in 2017 is back with the greatest emo-pop hits.

The one-day event will be headlined by Paramore, Avril Lavigne, Bright Eyes, Boys Like Girls, and Taking Back Sunday. That's not the end, as it will also include pop-punk newcomers like TikTok stars Lil Huddy and JXDN, as well as some wildcard acts like Wolf Alice from the United Kingdom.

The event will kick off in Las Vegas on October 22.
