My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, Jimmy Eat World and more to play classic albums in full at When We Were Young 2024 (original) (raw)

My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy and Jimmy Eat World are among a host of acts that look set to play a series of classic albums at When We Were Young 2024.

A tweet from Live Nation shared the announcement earlier this afternoon (November 13) on X before it was swiftly deleted. But many fans have reposted the line-up and which albums each band will play at the emo bash in Las Vegas on October 24, 2024.

Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance then soon took to social media to confirm the line-up.
