Emo Night Presents: A Decade Under The Influence

I don t know how to say this without crying it s officially been 10 years of Emo Night South Africa! What started as a bit of a laugh above a karaoke bar (Manila, you ll be missed) has become this: a place that always feels like homecoming.

So to celebrate, we re throwing it all the way back. The classics you know and love from the bands you listened to when you were a kid and nothing else. We re talking knowing the lyrics to every song, speaker stand climbing, cannon-balling into the crowd, crying together because breaking down to a ballad in the middle of EVOL isexactly what we re about.

Don t believe us? Check out our mixtape on Spotify, Apple Music, or YouTube Music and see for yourself!

Plus, it s Emo Night! That means you can also look forward to:

• Tattoo station with 10-year-inspired flash (get us immortalised on you forever!)
• Cold brew and treats for our sober friends
• That goddamn ball pit
• Some extra special giveaways on the night
• B2B sets from our resident DJs
• A very special two-hour set from our very hot, very insane founder @doomed_oracle

None of this would be possible without you: here for every mood swing, experiment-gone-wrong, and set that fell a little flat but you kept on dancing anyway. Thank you for sticking with us, for watching us grow and change in public. It s been terrifying and liberating all at once.

It s been ten whole years of us thinking 'bout you everyday! We could do it for ten more. See you soon.

R.O.A.R. Our Safety Team will be around if you need help.
