There’s one last party in the Sunshine State this year, and it’s going to be pretty emo. Emo Social, run by Dashboard Confessional drummer Chris Kamrada, announced a packed line-up to grace the Florida lands. The event goes down on December 16 at Wall Street Plaza in Orlando, FL, and boasts an emo legend act and trending pop-punk and alternative artists.
Ohio emos Hawthorne Heights are scheduled to headline the show. Supporting acts include 408, Capstan, “emo trash” FELICITY, Greyson Zane, and Twin Rova. Plus, there will also be guest DJs throughout the event. Hawthorne Heights recently wrapped their Emo Orchestra run, where they transformed popular scene songs into softer melodies. The “Niki FM” act will return to When We Were Young Fest in Las Vegas, NV, next year and perform their debut album, The Silence In Black And White.

The opening bands all hail from Florida and give a taste of what the state has to offer in music. 408 recently concluded a run supporting Magnolia Park. Additionally, Capstan has a busy start to the new year with them hopping on the road with UK act Holding Absence. Meanwhile, FELICITY is still riding the high from writing the emo anthem of the summer along with Greyson Zane.
Emo Social has made guest appearances at Emo Nite LA, along with their own Emo Social Thursdays in Orlando. Next month, they will host two boat parties in Hawaii with acts such as Hellogoodbye and Secondhand Serenade, among others. They’ll take to the seas in 2024 on the Emo’s Not Dead Cruise. In February, the voyage from Miami to the Bahamas commences with pop-punk favorites Yellowcard, Sleeping With Sirens, Mayday Parade, Story Of The Year, and more.
