Emo/post-Hardcore band Chiodos have been added to the lineup for this year’s When We Were Young Festival. The event is taking place October 18 and 19 in Las Vegas, NV, and comes as the band celebrate the 20th anniversary of their debut album, All’s Well That Ends Well. They continue on the second leg of their anniversary tour, from November 6 in Grand Rapids, MI. Find out more below.
Released on July 26, 2005, All’s Well That Ends Well became a defining record of the mid-2000s emo and post-hardcore movement, propelling Chiodos into the spotlight with its dynamic blend of soaring melodies, technical musicianship, and poetic intensity. The album charted on the Billboard Top 200 (#164), climbed to #11 on the Independent Albums chart, and reached #3 on Heatseekers – cementing its legacy as a genre classic that continues to inspire artists nearly two decades later.
To mark the milestone, the band re-recorded and reissued the album, out now via Sumerian Records, giving fans both old and new a fresh way to experience the songs. Following a sold-out first leg of their anniversary tour earlier this year, the upcoming run will once again feature full-album performances of All’s Well That Ends Well alongside fan favorites from across their catalog.

About Chiodos:
Chiodos is a creative engine synonymous with unrelenting passion, a band whose very existence encouraged a generation of kids to push boundaries, break rules, and make their own art without apology. From Michigan basements to the Warped Tour, runs with Linkin Park and Nine Inch Nails, and Billboard’s Top 5, Chiodos has built a movement that continuously reinvents and reignites.
At the center of Chiodos is its frontman, Craig Owens. His singular voice, artistic fire, and confessional vulnerability turn chaos into catharsis, and theatricality into something deeply human. Nearly 25 years in, Chiodos is once again at the forefront, revitalized and thriving, with Owens carrying the torch. What began with a return at the When We Were Young Festival in 2024 erupted into sold-out tours, festival appearances, and a surge of intergenerational fans singing every word. They sold out the Hollywood Palladium and continually had to upgrade venues across their most recent trek.
The band’s full-length debut, All’s Well That Ends Well, captured lightning in a bottle. Raw, unfiltered, and overflowing with nerve, it captured both the beauty and brutality of youth. The passionate devotion of Chiodos fans reached a fever pitch, as their peers in bands like Paramore and My Chemical Romance exploded. Bone Palace Ballet debuted at No. 1 on the Rock chart and No. 5 on the Billboard 200, a staggering victory for a band built on sweaty sing-alongs. They supported No. 3 Rock Album Devil in 2014 on tour with A Day To Remember, Bring Me The Horizon, and Motionless In White (following a 2013 Kerrang! sponsored European trek and return to Warped).
Celebrating the anniversary of their classic debut in 2025 and with an eye toward new material, Chiodos is reconfigured, revitalized, and resonating all over again. Owens and company continue to create and inspire. “My goal has always been to have people be able to find us, years later, when we’re no longer around, and have a whole world to jump into and escape whatever they need to escape.”
