Emo Night Manila, the DJ-driven event series that has become a cultural touchstone for fans of 2000s emo and pop punk, is celebrating its second anniversary with its most ambitious party yet.

What first started as a passion project in a small bar in Poblacion, Makati City, rapidly turned into a movement built on word-of-mouth buzz and a fiercely loyal online community. Emo Night Manila (ENM) became a sanctuary for millennialsreliving the soundtrack of their youth, and for Gen Z fans discovering the subculture they were too young to experience the first time around.
“Emo Night Manila was never about the nostalgia alone,” said the ENM team. “It’s about creating a space where people can enjoy that concert-like euphoria of singing their favorite songs with others and just belong. The music is the anchor, but the community is what makes it powerful. The connections and new friendships we’ve witnessed along the way empower what we do even more.”
The anniversary event will feature the full ENM DJ roster before and after Chicosci’s performance, known for curating emotionally charged, high-energy sets that blend genre staples with deep cuts.

Adding to this immersive emo experience, 9Lives Tattoo Studio will host a pop-up tattoo and piercing booth on-site, giving guests the chance to mark their night in more ways than one. Emo Night Manila will also unveil a new limited-edition merch collection, which has become a beloved tradition that fans wear with pride — much like band tour merch.
Moving forward, Emo Night Manila plans to expand across the Philippines and bring the experience to cities like Cebu and Davao, and to return to island destinations like Boracay, where ENM has already hosted two successful events.
Tickets are now available at emonightph.com, with options for single passes (P1,500, but there's an online discounted rate of P1,200) and tables for up to six guests (P12,000).
