When Waterfront Was Young

About Event

We are SO back Norwich! Following an incredible debut year When Waterfront Was Young returns for another one-of-a-kind emo tribute festival.

In homage to the utterly awesome When We Were Young festival, we are celebrating with some of your favourite bands from past and presents lineups right here at The Waterfront. Welcome to fabulous Fine City, Norwich. 

Whether you’re a die-hard fan or a new convert to the sounds of the scene, WWWY Fest is the ultimate way to relive the memories and make new ones with fellow music lovers. Time to dust off the checkerboard Vans and relive the glory days of 2000s pop-punk and emo in classic Waterfront style!

We’ve been working hard to secure a stonking band lineup from around the country, featuring full live sets and performances from…

Need a break from the mosh? Away from the live music check out the vibe chomp a bite from our food vendors in the riverside garden, gather your bandmates for a souvenir snap in our Photo Booth, then take to the stage in our Karaoke room to unleash you inner Hayley Williams or belt our your whiniest Where Are Yeeeeew!

Are you not entertained? But that’s not all – after the last note is played, the party keeps rolling with our official After Party 11pm – 3am (18+), spinning the ultimate emo and pop-punk anthems until late.

First band kicks off at 5pm, see you down the front Norwich!
