About This Event

We Wear Black is the ultimate emo club night for Manchester's alternative music scene, bringing together fans of the genre for an unforgettable evening of classic emo, post-hardcore, and pop-punk anthems. Whether you're a longtime devotee of My Chemical Romance and Fall Out Boy or discovering the scene for the first time, this Tuesday night at Gorilla guarantees a packed dancefloor and genuine community vibes. Tickets are affordable at £8-£15, making it perfect for a mid-week night out without breaking the bank.

Gorilla on Deansgate is Manchester's premier live music and clubbing venue, known for hosting quality alternative and indie events in an intimate, high-energy setting. The venue's central location and fantastic sound system create the perfect atmosphere for club nights that celebrate subcultures and niche music communities. You'll find yourself surrounded by fellow music lovers in one of Manchester's most vibrant entertainment districts.

Get there early to secure a good spot near the DJ booth, and dress to impress – this is where you can fully embrace your emo aesthetic without judgment. Expect packed crowds, plenty of hairspray, and a soundtrack that'll transport you straight back to the 2000s. The night kicks off at 11pm, so aim to arrive by midnight if you want to catch the best atmosphere when the dancefloor really comes alive.
