No When We Were Young Festival in 2026. A statement from the organizers recently appeared on the festival’s website and social media channels: the massive rock festival near Las Vegas in the U.S. will be taking a break this year. However, they emphasize that only one year will be skipped, and that the festival is set to return as usual in 2027.

Here is the official statement:

As recently as 2025, acts like Panic! at the Disco, Blink-182, Weezer, The Offspring, and Knocked Loose took the stage. While there won’t be an edition this year, we’re already looking forward to the 2027 lineup.
