three unlikely friends who want to make a space for the new gen of emo kids to find themselves and be themselves. we’re sick of clubs capitalising on our subculture to make a buck when they do fuck all to support it. where were they during lockdown? do they buy tickets to shows? do they show up to festivals and support australian businesses? do they play 50/50 mix of aussie and international artists? do they prioritise platforming women and queer performers? do they give the alternative scene as much as they take? put your money where your mouth is and support local bby

we are the melbourne scene.
we go to shows and put on shows.
we changed the game with diverse line-ups. we grew up in the local emo club… so we bought it. we prioritise the safety of marginalised patrons. we listen, we act, we plan and we party fuckin’ hard.

we’re at every event chatting to regulars or double parked with vodka redbulls. we have over 10 years experience each in live music, entertainment and alternative events. we know our shit and we know how to keep a dancefloor sticky and the main room full. our insta rocks too.

you can probably tell by now that this is a passion project that got out of hand

emo never sleeps is run by
