Los Angeles, LA – Emo Nite, the party and lifestyle brand that brings fans of emo, pop punk and alternative music, has released the first volume of their Grave Rave Mixtape inspired by their new party Grave Rave, combining the best of both EDM and emo music, celebrating the very best in ‘Emotional Dance Music’.

Following their partnership with Insomniac, the world’s leading music festival and live events experience creator, follow the massive success of the 10 year old Emo Nite parties, they’ve had several sold out events at clubs in Los Angeles with surprise appearances from some of the biggest names in dance music including Kayzo, Flosstradamus, Said The Sky, Ghastly, and more. Having cultivated a community of like-minded music fans that goes beyond what we know to be “emo,” cofounders Morgan Freed and T.J. Petracca shared: “We love the community that has been building around these Grave Rave parties. So many ravers are actually emo kids at heart, and we love combining the best of both worlds. It’s been super fun for us to dive more into electronic music and to see and hear the creativity and excitement other producers and DJs have about creating special mixes for our parties.” Emo Nite is not just about the music – it’s about the culture, the love of the scene and finding a place where everyone belongs. Often imitated but never truly duplicated, Emo Nite continues to prove that it’s not a phase but a lifestyle and cultural movement. The team just celebrated their jam packed 10 year Anniversary weekend, featuring a carnival themed party with rides, games, freak shows, prizes, food trucks and more with performances from 3OH!3, Cobra Starship (plus special guest Tara Yummy), Saosin, Royal & The Serpent, Tigers Jaw, Ken Vasoli (The Starting Line), The Spill Canvas and Noelle Sucks. The event will also feature DJ sets from Vic Fuentes (Pierce The Veil), Craig Owens (Chiodos), Johnnie Gultbert & Jake Webber, Scary Kids Scaring Kids and Babs.

About Emo Nite As Rolling Stone observed, “Emo Nite Vindicated the Scene.” Over the last 10 years, Emo Nite laid the groundwork for artists in the mainstream such as Travis Barker, nothing, nowhere., blackbear, and Bring Me The Horizon to bring emo to rapidly growing audiences and help its popularity reach greater heights than ever before. Co-founders Morgan Freed and TJ Petracca have championed the rising stars that we now see carrying the emo torch: Machine Gun Kelly first debuted his pop-punk persona at Emo Nite, they gave Yungblud one of his first US shows, and Avril Lavigne made her triumphant return to pop punk with a performance at Emo Nite. They had a monumental 2022 as they continued to grow not only through their iconic monthly parties, but as a brand as a whole. Having performed at coveted festivals across the country like Coachella, Lollapalooza, Hangout Fest, Bonnaroo Music & Arts Fest, Electric Forest, When We Were Young, their FIRST EVER, SOLD OUT residency at Zouk Nightclub at Resorts World Las Vegas and more, Emo Nite has become a worldwide phenomenon in over 60 cities around the world. |
