In celebration of their 20th anniversary, Panic! At The Disco will perform their debut album “A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out” in full, along with some of their other fan-favorite tracks, as announced on Instagram.

Panic! At The Disco isn’t the only act reuniting at the festival next year: Post-Hardcore band Letlive has been added to the lineup as part of their “correct” farewell tour, as revealed by frontman Jason Aalon Butler earlier this year, along with Never Shout Never, Jack’s Mannequin, and The Gaslight Anthem, which returned to the festival after reuniting in 2022.

Meanwhile, the lineup boasts a wide array of pop-punk acts, including Yellowcard, The Used, Simple Plan, Mayday Parade, and State Champs. On the heavier side, expect to see bands like Alexisonfire, Ice Nine Kills, Motionless in White, Kublai Khan TX, Bad Religion, Bear, and Hatebreed.

Last year, When We Were Young adopted a unique format, with many acts performing their albums live over the two-day event.

Among the classic albums performed live were My Chemical Romance’s iconic “The Black Parade,” Jimmy Eat World’s “Bleed American,” A Day to Remember’s “Homesick,” and “Twilight and Summer.”

In other news, the official festival t-shirt went viral after fans noticed several band names were misspelled, including All-American Rejects (All-umercian Decections), New Found Glory (New Sed Glory), and We Are The In Crowd (We Are-Top).
