The Emo Quiz

The Emo Quiz returns to Gloucester on Saturday 31 October, with Quiz Master Andy running things at Hop Kettle in the Docks. It's a music quiz that pulls from pop-punk, nu-metal, metalcore and emo from 1999 to 2009, with a pinch of newer stuff thrown in. Andy calls it a 'Return of the Bangers', and it follows a string of previous Emo Quizzes, so it's a familiar format if you've been to one before.

Teams are capped at six people, and the night is played for prizes: £120 cash for the winning team, a £25 bar tab for second place and £10 for third. Because it falls on Halloween, there's also a prize for best costume, so it's a good excuse to lean into the theme. Under-18s aren't permitted.

Hop Kettle itself is a tap room and bar run by Hop Kettle Brewing Co, which brews all its beers at its own brewery in Cricklade, Swindon. The venue spreads across three floors, with food residencies from local chefs and events on the top floor, and it already supplies many bars and restaurants across the Southwest and London. You'll find it at 27 Commercial Road, The Docks, GL1 2ED.

Doors open at 5:30pm and the quiz starts at 7:00pm. Tickets are £6 per person in advance, and every ticket comes with a pin.
