When Waterfront Was Young Fest

About Event

Calling all Emo fans! If you couldn’t make it to Vegas this year, don’t worry – we’ve got you covered with a one-of-a-kind tribute festival.

In homage to the utterly awesome When We Were Young festival, we are celebrating with some your favourite bands from the lineup 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 checkered 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…

• Ultimate Blink 182
• Stiff Bizkit
• Paramore GB
• Ain’t Real Lavigne
• The Sum is 41
• A Day To Remember UK

Need a break from the mosh? Away from the live music check out the vibe and grab a killer t-shirt in our Pop-Punk Market, 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+), featuring an almighty clash of the titans Panic! vs Meltdown who will be spinning the ultimate emo and pop-punk anthems until late.

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