Last call for advance tickets for Panic At The Emo - the ultimate Emo Clubnight tonight: https://www.fatsoma.com/e/gg1d5ald/panic-at-the-emo-at-the-rigger-newcastle-under-lyme

🔥NEWCASTLE UNDER LYME, EMO IS HERE!🔥
Same Myspace era heart. Completely new energy for 2026.

If you ever wanted an emo night that feels like the front row of a show in 2006, this is it! We've took everything you love about Panic and pushed it to the max! 😍

We're still blasting the anthems you grew up screaming but now we're also pushing the deep cuts, the forgotten favourites and left field bangers that never get played anymore alongside a levelled up stage production, clothing line giveaways every night and much much more. If you’ve been before, expect surprises. If you haven’t, expect to lose your voice.

🎤 On stage DJs & live show energy
🎁 Free emo gifts as you enter
🖤 Still Not Okay clothing giveaways on the dancefloor
📸 Myspace photo booth all night!

This is Panic! At The Emo in 2026.
This is nostalgia revitalised, not recycled.🔥

Event - Panic At The Emo at The Rigger, Newcastle Under Lyme
