It’s almost December, days are shorter, nights are darker and winter is coming. That’s the perfect state of mind for Emo Nite! Emo Nite LA was founded in 2014 and has regular events at the Echoplex. They describe themselves by the simple sentence ‘We are not a band. We are not DJ’s. We throw parties for the music we love.’
In celebration of their 3-Year Anniversary, with partnership from Goldenvoice, Emo Nite LA is throwing a big party at the Shrine Expo Hall and Grounds on December 3rd. The all-ages event will take over the entire venue with performances across multiple stages, art installations, food trucks and more, bringing together every element that Emo Nite fans have always loved.
The lineup is massive and diverse, and will feature performances from The Used, Machine Gun Kelly, Tigers Jaw, Craig Owens (Chiodos), Finch, Aaron Gillespie (Underoath + The Almost), Frank Zummo (Sum 41), Mom Jeans, Teenage Wrist, DALES, Doll Skin, I Don’t Know How But They Found Me, Gothboiclique, Lil Aaron, Lil Lotus, Smrtdeath, Familypet, Shinigami, Lil Zubin, KA5SH, Hot Leather and Saphir, as well as DJ sets from Preston, From First To Last, Vic Fuentes (Pierce the Veil), William Beckett (The Academy Is), Fil Thorpe-Evans (Neck Deep), Travis Mills, Captain Cuts + Special Guests, Ham On Everything, Noah Shipwreck, With Confidence and Brandon Wardell and other special surprise appearances…
Although I don’t know most of these bands (I mostly remember a performance by Teenage Wrist a few years back at the Echo), this is an impressive number of acts to see on the same day.
