Substream Magazine spent an unforgettable weekend at the 2025 When We Were Young Fest, surrounded by nonstop music, throwback anthems, and a sea of fans reliving their emo and pop-punk glory days. Between the massive singalongs and the desert heat, we took some time to capture portraits of a few of the incredible artists who hit the stage throughout the weekend.
