Back in 2022, Emo Nite cofounders TJ Petracca and Morgan Freed spoke to NME about the resurgence of the genre and its recent commercial success. They explained that Emo Nite began at a “small dive bar in Echo Park, Los Angeles”.

“We just wanted to pick the music and Morgan knew the bartender,” Petracca said. “He was like ‘you could come pick the music on a Tuesday night. Nobody’s coming on this random rainy Tuesday.’”

“I plugged in my iPad and started playing songs off Spotify,” he added. “Then we made a Facebook event. The capacity of the bar was probably 100, and 200 people showed up. The next month we did it again. More people showed up.”

That same year, Emo Nite was invited to play at Coachella. Speaking to NME about the feat of playing one of the biggest US festivals, Freed said: “For them to invite us this year speaks highly of the genre itself and where it is in our moment in time. It’s a big honour for us to be able to do that.”

In other news, WARGASM are set to play this year’s edition of Slam Dunk festival alongside the likes of A Day To Remember, Neck Deep, Alkaline Trio, Electric Callboy, Delilah Bon, Graphic Nature, Dream State and more.
