Some fans have speculated that the When We Were Young festival could end up like the disastrous Fyre Festival scam of 2017
The When We Were Young festival has officially added a second date to what was originally a one day only event, following backlash and safety concerns from fans.
Old school 2000s emo and pop punk fans collectively lost their minds amid the announcement of the festival, which is set to feature legendary bands like headliners My Chemical Romance and Paramore.
However, news of the festival wasn’t entirely welcomed by music fans, with many predicting that the event will turn out like the infamous Fyre Festival from 2017.
Another area of concern is in regards to the fact that the festival will be produced by Live Nation – the entertainment company behind the deadly Astro World festival which resulted in the deaths of 10 audience members.
This is everything you need to know about the festival – including whether or not it’s a scam.
Who is playing When We Were Young?
According to the promotional poster for the festival, there are set to be 60 musical acts performing on the big day, including a number of iconic emo bands like Paramore, My Chemical Romance, Jimmy Eat World and the All American Rejects.
