Emo Nite Returns to Bozeman & Missoula in 2026 with special guest Shane Told of Silverstein
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. Shane Told (of Silverstein) will be doing a guest DJ set each night!
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.
Grab your tickets early and don’t miss your chance to relive the soundtrack of your feelings in Bozeman or Missoula!

ABOUT EMO NIGHT
As Rolling Stone observed a few years ago, “Emo Nite Vindicated the Scene.”
Since they threw their first party at an East L.A. dive bar, Morgan Freed and T.J. Petracca, and a dedicated crew of regular attendees, built Emo Nite into a phenomenon. Top-tier emo artists, old and new, curate playlists and perform, with guest lists boasting members of blink-182, All Time Low, Dashboard Confessional, The Maine, and Good Charlotte. Scene-friendly pop culture mavericks often participate, like past attendees Post Malone, Demi Lovato, Machine Gun Kelly, and Skrillex.
It’s all too easy to forget that before the first Emo Nite in December 2014, “emo” was a joke. Continue reading…
