The headliners for Las Vegas’ When We Were Young festival in 2025 have been announced and many are starting to speculate that it will bring a very special reunion.
Based on their X account, When We Were Young announced the headliners of next year’s ceremony and it will take place on October 18, 2025. Among them are Blink-182 and Panic at the Disco. However, the mention of Panic’s name has people speculating whether there will be a reunion between frontman Brendon Urie and former member Ryan Ross.
“Yo yo yo if P!ATD plays A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out in its entirety at WWWY next year it has to be the whole band, right? Not just Brenden Urie???” wrote one person.

“Are we talking about Ryan Ross panic or brenden Urie solo band panic,” another asked.
Another said: “The only way the panic can get the fever over is if Ryan Ross is there, we’ve all had enough Brenden piss at the disco.”

It is unclear whether the performance will be a reunion for the band, which essentially became a solo project for Urie in 2015. Ross left the band in 2009 along with Jon Walker. The announcement was made on the band’s official website at the time.
In his announcement, Ross stated that there were creative differences that caused him to leave the band as the band was preparing to work on their third album, glossy magazine report.
Ross was the main creative force behind the band’s early work, including their debut album, Fever you can’t sweatfor which Ross played a major role in the album’s lyrics and production. The project featured their breakthrough song “I Write Sins Not Tragedies.”
Urie has since disbanded Panic to focus on his family and last performed under the name in 2023.
Other performers at When We Were Young were Avril Lavigne, All Time Low and Weezer.
