Emo Night Manila is a DJ based event that plays all the anthems from the golden era of emo & pop punk music. It's the mecca for millennials who want a break from reality to party like teenage dirtbags again.
Launched in May 2023, it quickly gained popularity with monthly Thursday night parties in Poblacion, Makati. Relying solely on word-of-mouth and with overwhelming support, a loyal community formed. Later in the year we expanded to The Pop-Up, Katipunan and Exit Bar, Boracay.
Since then, it has expanded to large scale events with crowds reaching upwards up 900 people and partnered with brands across different industries as well as record labels to promote tours & showcases for some of our favourite international bands. Attendees have had the chance to win VIP concert & festival tickets, exclusive merch, and even trips abroad.
On June 14th, 2025, Emo Night Manila celebrated its 2nd anniversary at Whisky Park in BGC, with a thousand members of the black parade and showcased its first ever live band performance by Pinoy rock legends, Chicosci.
Side Stage launched in 2025, pocket events to satisfy the crowd craving for more intimate parties in the heart of Manila's nightlife scene. Partnering with mega popular venues like Apotheka and selling out tickets & tables days in advance each time goes to show that Filipinos' love for the music isn't just still alive, but fiercely growing with reborn pride.
This is more than a party, it's a time machine to the 2000s. It's the soundtrack of our loud & electric youth. People don't go to be cool, they go to connect. No cliques, no labels. At Emo Night Manila, be weird, be free, be you.
