A tribute night to emo music featuring a live band covering classic anthems and live DJs, aimed at nostalgic emo fans.
Emo Fest comes to Tramshed on Friday 12 February 2027, from 6 pm to 10 pm. It's a tribute night dedicated to emo music, with a live band playing the biggest anthems from across the genre, and live DJs spinning the set throughout the evening. The whole thing is aimed at fans of nostalgic emo, so it's the kind of night that works best if you spent your teenage years with a particular set of records on repeat.
It's a standing event, and it's open to over-14s, though anyone under 18 needs to be accompanied by an adult. The organisers make one point clear: the festival and its events aren't affiliated with the artists whose songs they cover, so this is a tribute night rather than a line-up of the original bands.
