Emo Nite

Get ready to scream your heart out — Emo Nite is returning to Montana in 2026! The wildly popular celebration of emo music and culture is back for two unforgettable nights: The ELM in Bozeman on Friday, February 27th, and The Wilma in Missoula on Saturday, February 28th.

What started as a DIY party in Los Angeles has grown into a nationwide phenomenon, earning praise from Rolling Stone and becoming a must-attend event for fans of emo, pop-punk, and scene-era anthems. Emo Nite is built around one simple idea: blasting the music people actually loved growing up and turning it into a shared, all-out singalong experience.

Expect nonstop crowd favorites from My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, Paramore, Taking Back Sunday, Dashboard Confessional, blink-182, and more — spun loud and unapologetically. With surprise guests, scene-approved DJs, and a room full of people who know every word, Emo Nite blurs the line between artist and fan, dance party and emotional release.

Just check out these photos from last year’s Emo Nite and you can see how much fun everyone had!

More than just a party, Emo Nite has become a community — a place where nostalgia, catharsis, and connection collide on the dance floor. Whether you lived through the era or found these songs later, everyone’s welcome.
