When We Were Young won’t be happening in 2026.
The Las Vegas festival will be skipping this year but plans to return in 2027, organizers have announced.
“The songs, the memories, the moments — none of it exists without you,” a statement on the When We Were Young website reads. “After an unforgettable run in Las Vegas, we’ve decided to take 2026 off to give this festival the care it deserves and to make sure what comes next feels just as special as what came before.”
It continues, “Thank you for showing up with your whole hearts every year. This isn’t goodbye — it’s just a pause. We’ll see you in 2027.”
The first When We Were Young festival took place in 2017 in Santa Ana, California. It then relaunched in Vegas in 2022 with a headline-making lineup dedicated to the alternative, emo and pop-punk scene of the early and mid-2000s.
My Chemical Romance and Paramore headlined in 2022, followed by blink-182 and Green Day in 2023, MCR and Fall Out Boy in 2024, and blink and the reformed Panic! at the Disco in 2025.

Sinners star Michael B. Jordan and director Ryan Coogler are opening up on making Oscar nominations history.
The actor-director duo sat down for an interview with Good Morning America‘s Chris Connelly to discuss Sinners, which gathered a record-breaking 16 Oscar nominations, and their partnership, which has been over a decade in the making.
Coogler and Jordan recalled meeting in a Starbucks in 2011 to discuss their first joint project, Fruitvale Station.
“He reassured me. ‘Mike, I think you’re a movie star. Let’s go do this,'” Jordan said Coogler told him at the time.
The pair also discussed the moment they both realized that they had broken Oscars history on Oscar nomination morning.
Jordan said he woke up to missed messages and called his mother. “It felt great. You know, just to kind of hear her happiness and joy and knowing how much that she poured into me.”
Coogler said he watched the nominations with his spouse, Zinzi Coogler, who is also nominated as a producer on the film, and the pair celebrated with waffles.
Sinners marks the fifth collaboration between Coogler and Jordan, a partnership that includes the Creed movies and Black Panther.
Coogler reflected on what makes Jordan such an effective presence on screen.
“There’s a magic to Mike that I think like Tom Hanks has, where you see him and you care about him,” Coogler said. “As a character, he does everything. So what that gives him is an incredible amount of empathy when he’s on the screen,” Coogler said, adding that he also has “incredible drive.”
The pair said working together for as many years as they have has allowed them to work in sync.
“We complement one another,” said Jordan.
“You kind of know what the other person might need at a particular time to achieve a certain goal,” Coogler added.
Dasha’s “Oh, Anna! (Live from the Opry)” (Warner Records)
To celebrate her 26th birthday, “Austin” hitmaker Dasha is putting out a new version of “Oh, Anna!” recorded live at the Grand Ole Opry.
“Stepping into the circle never loses its magic for me,” she says. “Every time I stand on that stage, I think about the little girl who used to go by Anna and dreamed about moments like this. The Opry carries so much history; it’s where country music’s story has been told for generations, and ‘Oh, Anna!’ carries my own history.”
The 2025 Opry NextStage member made her Opry debut in June 2024. The new version of “Oh, Anna!” was captured last August.
“When I sang it there this past summer, I knew it was a moment I’d want to hold onto forever,” she recalls. “Releasing this live version on my 26th birthday feels like the most meaningful way to honor where I started and who I’ve become. It’s a gift to myself I’ll always cherish.”
“Austin” put Dasha on the map in 2024, becoming a viral sensation and making it to the top 10 on the Mediabase chart.

Fans of The Beatles are about to get a new look at the band from the point of view of George Harrison.
Random House is set to release the new book The Third Eye: Early Photographs in October, described as “the first ever collection of George Harrison’s personal photos taken between 1963 and 1970.”

According to the description, the photos give fans an “inside look at the human beings behind the Beatles, trying to hold onto themselves—and enjoy themselves—while standing at the center of the storm.”
The book will include essays by Olivia, as well as authors Colm Tóibín and George Saunders, and the photos will feature commentary, including never-before-seen quotes from George.
The Third Eye: Early Photographs will be released Oct. 6 in the U.S. and is available for preorder now. There will also be a deluxe edition coming later in the fall.

(WASHINGTON) — President Donald Trump on Friday told reporters he hasn’t made a final decision about what comes next in his pressure campaign on Iran but he made clear he was “not happy” with the current negotiations over his demand that Tehran end its nuclear program.
Trump spoke as left the White House for a trip to Texas amid the massive U.S. military buildup he’s ordered in the region.
“I’m not happy with the fact that they’re not willing to give us what we have to have,” Trump said. “So, I’m not thrilled with that. We’ll see what happens with talking later. We’ll — we’ll have some additional talks today. But no, I’m not happy with the way they’re going.”
“Well, we haven’t made a final decision,” he added. “They cannot have nuclear weapons, and we’re not thrilled with the way they’re negotiating. So, we’ll see how it all works.”
Asked if there’s a risk that U.S. strikes could lead to prolonged conflict in the Middle East, Trump said “there’s always a risk. You know, when there’s war, there’s a risk in anything both good and bad.”
Trump, who has yet to explain why he might soon order a strike on Iran and what his overall objective is, also spoke of regime change in Tehran, but only in vague terms.
Asked if his team had told him U.S. strikes now will lead to regime change right away, Trump said no.
“No, nobody’s told me that. You don’t know. I mean, nobody knows. There might be and there might not be,” he said.
Trump repeated that he preferred diplomacy over military action.
“We have the greatest military anywhere in the world. There’s nothing close. I’d love not to use it, but sometimes you have to,” he said.
His remarks came after it was announced earlier Friday that Secretary of State Marco Rubio would travel to Israel on Monday and Tuesday, with rising tensions with Iran said to be high on his agenda.
That trip announcement came just hours after the U.S. embassy in Israel ordered the departure of nonessential employees and family members.
Meanwhile, in an interview aboard Air Force Two on Thursday, Vice President JD Vance told The Washington Post that there was “no chance” of a drawn-out war in Iran as a result of potential strikes that are being weighed by the White House.
“The idea that we’re going to be in a Middle Eastern war for years with no end in sight — there is no chance that will happen,” Vance told the Post.
Vance’s comments come as the U.S. and Iran held indirect talks on Thursday in Geneva, Switzerland, which concluded without a resolution so far.
Vance added that while he doesn’t know what President Donald Trump will do in Iran, he described the range of options as strikes that would “ensure Iran isn’t going to get a nuclear weapon” or actions that could lead to a diplomatic solution.
The vice president told the Post that he remained a “skeptic of foreign military interventions” and said he believed the president was as well. He added that “we all prefer the diplomatic option,” while conceding, “but it really depends on what the Iranians do and what they say.”
Vance dismissed questions from the Post about his past criticisms of the U.S. involvement in Iraq and if he could have foreseen being part of an administration now flirting with the prospect of regime change.
“Well, I mean, look. Life has all kinds of crazy twists and turns,” Vance said. “But I think Donald Trump is an ‘America First’ president, and he pursues policies that work for the American people.”
“I do think we have to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past. I also think that we have to avoid overlearning the lessons of the past. Just because one president screwed up a military conflict doesn’t mean we can never engage in military conflict again. We’ve got to be careful about it, but I think the president is being careful,” he said.
Vance’s comments came ahead of his meeting with Omani Foreign Minister Badr Al Busaidi and other U.S. officials Friday in Washington to discuss Iran, a source familiar with the meeting confirmed to ABC News.
The scheduled meeting follows Thursday’s gathering in Geneva between special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law, with Al Busaidi for indirect talks between Iran and the United States.
If you can hardly wait for the premiere of Marshals on Sunday, you can check out a new song by its star now.

Riley tells Entertainment Tonight he was already thinking about doing some acting when he happened to meet the star from the Taylor Sheridan universe.
“As he was starting his music career,” Riley recalls. “I was kind of trying to help him out in town, and we wrote some songs together and it was really just buddies talking … and he was like, ‘Maybe you should do some acting?'”
The 13-episode debut season of Marshals starts Sunday at 8 p.m. ET on CBS and Paramount+.
