The 2025 When We Were Young festival has officially dropped its full schedule — along with a couple of last-minute lineup shake-ups.
Sleeping With Sirens and Never Shout Never will no longer be performing at WWWY 2025 next weekend. Stepping in are NorCal hardcore crew Drain and Michigan post-hardcore favorites Chiodos — the latter previously rumored and now confirmed. Drain will take the Allianz Stage at 1:35 p.m. on both Saturday, October 18th and Sunday, October 19th, while Chiodos hit the same stage at 6:15 p.m. both days.
The change comes after Sleeping With Sirens pulled out due to lead vocalist Kellin Quinn’s wife facing health issues, prompting the band to cancel their entire fall tour. Never Shout Never frontman Christofer Drew also bowed out, citing a serious mouth infection that requires extensive dental treatment.
Despite the swaps, the festival remains stacked across four stages, each with its own headliner: Panic! At The Disco, Blink-182, Asking Alexandria, and Sunami will close out their respective stages on both nights.
