The music festival When We Were Young held its second annual pop-punk and emo nostalgia extravaganza Saturday and Sunday in Las Vegas, with headliners Green Day and Blink-182 and an undercard filled out with ’90s and ’00s touchstones and their ’10s and ’20s spawn. We sent photographer Lindsey Blane to capture the scenes, including audience images, artist portraits, and performance shots. Transport yourself to the fest via photography below. —Chris DeVille
