When We Were Young Fest: Paramore, My Chemical Romance
When We Were Young festival has released its official line-up, with Paramore and My Chemical Romance to headline a packed bill of alternative artists in Las Vegas, Nevada on 22 October 2022.
When We Were Young will mark the first Paramore show since the band went on a hiatus in 2018. Lead singer Hayley Williams has been busy in the interim, releaing a full-length debut solo album, Petals for Armor, followed swiftly by Flowers for Vases/Descansos in February 2021.
After their own seven-year break, My Chemical Romance returned to the stage in late 2019 at the Shrine Expo Hall in Los Angeles for a highly anticipated reunion show. The group is also set to head out on a 2022 tour, after having to cancel their 2020 stint as the coronavirus pandemic hit.

Last November, Hayley Williams first teased Paramore’s 2022 return in a newsletter.
“Before I go, thank y’all so much for the incredible support these last couple years. I know we didn’t get to properly come together to sing and vent and sweat it all out…but I do think that Petals and descansos lived exactly the lives they were meant to. Besides, Paramore can’t be ‘on a break’ forever now can we?” she wrote.
Williams rounded off the newsletter with; “I love y’all. See you sometime next year?”
