Emo Nite Returns to Montana Fall 2026
Get ready to scream your heart out — Emo Nite is coming back to Montana this Fall 2026! The wildly popular celebration of emo music and culture returns for two unforgettable nights: The Wilma in Missoula on Friday, October 9, and The ELM in Bozeman on Saturday, October 10.
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 the scene-era anthems that defined a generation.
Built around one simple idea — playing the songs people actually grew up loving — Emo Nite transforms the room into one massive singalong. Expect nonstop favorites from My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, Paramore, Taking Back Sunday, Dashboard Confessional, blink-182, and more, all played loud and unapologetically.
With scene-approved DJs, surprise guests, and a crowd that knows every word, Emo Nite blurs the line between artist and fan — part dance party, part emotional release, and 100% a celebration of the music that shaped us.
Just check out these photos from the last time Emo Nite came through Montana and you’ll see exactly why this has become a can’t-miss night.
More than just a throwback, 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 discovered these songs years later, everyone is welcome.
Grab your tickets early and get ready to relive the soundtrack of your feelings in Missoula and Bozeman!

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…
