DISTORTION | Emo & Alternative Night

DISTORTION is back at Cucamara on Tuesday 27 October, the venue's regular Tuesday night for emo and alternative music. It's an over-18s night, and the slogan they run with is a bit of a nod to the old stereotypes: 'Not just a phase. It's a lifestyle.'

The music is built around the biggest emo anthems, pop-punk classics, alternative rock and metal. The playlist draws on acts like My Chemical Romance, Paramore, Bring Me The Horizon, Linkin Park, Fall Out Boy, Blink-182, Slipknot and Pierce The Veil, so it's a mix of the mid-2000s sound and the heavier stuff that followed. If those names ring a bell, you've got a good idea of what the night is about.

It runs from 10:00pm to 3:00am, with last entry at 1am, so you can roll in late and still have plenty of the night ahead of you. Entry is free, and it's over-18s only. Cucamara is on Hurts Yard, Nottingham NG1 6JD, right in the city centre.
