A decade’s worth of tears gets to blow out birthday candles this weekend when two staples of the Tampa scene—Emo Night Tampa Founder’s Theo Severson and Chris Wood, aka the Crate Bros.—mark a huge milestone with yet another no-cover concert (it’s $5 if you’re under 21).

Muncie, Indiana pop-punk trio Leisure Hour anchors festivities on Saturday night as it supports a 2024 LP, The Sunny Side. Another out-of-state visitor (Cinema Stare from Connecticut) is on the bill coming to Crowbar in Ybor City on Saturday, June 7 along with beloved Sunshine State band Virginity (Orlando), Tampa’s own Pilot Jonezz, and a pop-up by recently-shuttered vegan restaurant Golden Dinosaurs.

In true Emo Night Tampa fashion, the party gets started a day before, on Friday, June 6, thanks to another no-cover show at the American Legion in Seminole Heights where alum of the series—Hovercar, Big Sad, He Kindly and Earthgirl—take the stage.
