Paramore and My Chemical Romance have been announced as headliners to the When We Were Young festival in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The one-day event on October 22 will bring together dozens of throwback emo favourites like Bright Eyes, Jimmy Eat World, AFI, Bring Me The Horizon, Avril Lavigne, We the Kings, the All-American Rejects, Car Seat Headrest, Manchester Orchestra, 3OH!3, Taking Back Sunday, Dashboard Confessional, La Dispute, The Used and more.

Pre-sale for the tickets will go on-sale this Friday, January 21.

Paramore's appearance at the festival will mark the group's first performance since going on hiatus in 2018 following the After Laughter tour in 2017. The tour had two stops in Ireland - one at Olympia Theatre in Dublin and the other at Belfast's Waterfront Hall.

Lead singer Hayley Williams announced last year that the group would make its return in 2022.  Earlier this month, the band teased putting the finishing touches on their next album.

My Chemical Romance is set to go on their reunion tour this year after a six-year break-up. The group has played reunion shows in Los Angeles, Australia, New Zealand and Japan but were forced to table their European and North American dates due to the pandemic.

The band will however return to Ireland this year with two dates in Dublin at Royal Kilmainham Hospital on May 24 and 25. It will be their first performances in Ireland since 2011.
