The Greatest Emo Tribute Night

A tribute night to emo rock, presented under the name Emofest at the O2 Institute Birmingham. The songs are performed as a tribute, not by the original bands.

The Greatest Emo Tribute Night celebrates emo, a rock style that grew out of the American punk and hardcore scenes of the 1980s and is associated with confessional lyrics and melodic, emotive guitar writing. The programme honours the music of original bands rather than presenting those bands themselves.

Emofest is the name billed alongside the title, and the evening centres on emo songs performed in tribute to the artists who recorded them. The original acts do not appear on this bill, so the night is a way to hear the repertoire played live in Birmingham.

The O2 Institute Birmingham hosts concerts and shows in the city. The night is aimed at those who enjoy emo and want to hear its songs performed live.
