Emo Nite is not a band or DJs, but a community-driven event that creates a space for people to passionately sing along to their favorite emo and pop-punk songs, forge new friendships, and be unapologetically themselves. This 18+ event features $1 per ticket transaction going towards worthwhile organizations focusing on mental health, harm reduction, children and families, poverty and homelessness, disenfranchised communities, and terminal illness.
Why We Like It
- Emo Nite started as an impromptu party at a small dive bar in Los Angeles and has now grown into a recurring event in over 50 cities internationally.
- This event provides a welcoming space for emo and pop-punk music fans to come together, sing along, and be themselves.
- A portion of ticket sales goes towards supporting important causes through Emo Nite Gives A F*ck.
Who Should Attend
Emo Nite is perfect for passionate emo and pop-punk music fans, those looking to make new friends in a judgment-free environment, and anyone who wants to unapologetically embrace their love of the genre.
