Hey! You! Are you still sad? Did high school never end? Is she still preoccupied with 1985? Are you still waiting to see a marching band? Is this more than you bargained for yet?

Dust off that studded belt, lace up those chucks, break out those skinny jeans – it’s time to get nostalgic and scream along to the bands we grew up with! There will be a photo booth, games, interactive themes, exclusive merchandise, and fun prize giveaways!

This is a special all-night event featuring TWO back-to-back shows with 8 bands total, featuring LIVE tributes to My Chemical Romance, Panic! At The Disco, The Used, Fall Out Boy, Blink-182, AFI, Bullet For My Valentine, and Linkin Park!

EARLY SHOW: All ages | $15 | Doors at 4pm
LATE SHOW: 21+ | $15 | Doors at 9pm
ALL-NIGHT PASS: $20 (21+, only available online!) ~ https://tickets.midwestix.com/event/when-we-were-emo-2023-des-moines-june?fbclid=IwAR2I1eAvHjEzKYqhk_T_M8GAxt1PN3Fp3pWjwiMgTSeUeLzX9JO1A5Dvc4U
