"To our When We Were Young family, the songs, the memories, the moments-none of it exists without you. 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."
"Thank you for showing up with your whole hearts every year. This isn't goodbye-it's just a pause."
