Aussie metal group The Amity Affliction have been added to the star-studded When We Were Young festival.
Taking place in Las Vegas in October 2025, the Show Me Your God outfit will represent Australian heavy music at the festival headlined by Panic! At The Disco (who will perform A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out in its entirety) and blink-182, who are set to mine tracks from their albums Enema Of The State, Take Off Your Pants And Jacket, and their self-titled LP.
Other acts appearing at the festival include Weezer, Avril Lavigne, The Offspring, All Time Low, The Used, Yellowcard, Bad Religion, Simple Plan, and many more.
Expressing their delight at being part of such a massive line-up, The Amity Affliction wrote on Instagram, “Excited is an understatement! Sign up for the presale that starts Friday, November 1st at 10am PT. Follow @whenwewereyoungfest for more info.”

This year’s When We Were Young took place last weekend and made headlines for the wrong reason: the official merchandise for the event had numerous spelling mistakes, with bands including Sleeping With Sirens and We Are The In Crowd having their names spelled wrong on t-shirts and hoodies.

Most of the bands on this year’s bill, including Australia’s own Tonight Alive, played an album of theirs that was 10+ years old in its entirety. For Tonight Alive, that was 2013’s The Other Side.
Next month, The Amity Affliction will tour Australia for the tenth anniversary of their beloved album, Let The Ocean Take Me. Four shows – at Brisbane’s Riverstage, Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion, Melbourne’s John Cain Arena, and Perth’s Red Hill Auditorium – are sold out.
Last year, The Amity Affliction released their self-produced eighth album, Not Without My Ghosts, via Pure Noise Records. It was another instantaneous success, debuting at #2 on the ARIA Albums Chart. You can find The Music’s cover story interview with bassist and singer Ahren Stringer in promotion of the album here.
