When We Were Young Festival – co-headlined by My Chemical Romance and described as “an epic line-up of emo and rock bands from the past two decades” – debuted in Las Vegas yesterday (October 23). The first event was initially set to go down on Saturday (October 22), but was cancelled an hour before gates opened due to weather warnings.

Ahead of Paramore’s performance at When We Were Young, Hayley Williams shared a heartfelt, handwritten note on her Instagram page, “celebrating the fact that, as a scene, we’ve come a long way – with much further to go”.

Williams went on to celebrate Paramore’s “legend” status in the world of rock and alternative music, noting: “Nearly 20 years later, we find ourselves a pillar of the very scene that threatened to reject us. And me.”

She added: “Fuck the ones who doubted! Hugs to the ones who watched on and even sort of believed. Young girls, queer kids, and anybody of any colour… We have shifted this scene together, messily, angrily, heartbroken, and determined. Tonight, for me at least, is about celebrating all the facets of what punk music actually represents. All the things it wasn’t allowed to be when we were young. Can’t wait to see everyone tonight.”

At the first night of When We Were Young, Paramore played:

‘All I Wanted’
‘That’s What You Get’
‘Still Into You’
‘Brick By Boring Brick’
‘I Caught Myself’
‘Here We Go Again’
‘Ignorance’
‘Ain’t It Fun’
‘Last Hope’
‘Hard Times’
‘This Is Why’
‘Misery Business’

When We Were Young Festival continues next weekend, with Paramore, My Chemical Romance and more set to return on October 29. The festival will then return to Las Vegas next October, with its 2023 bill headlined by Blink-182 and Green Day.
