The emo music revival is here to stay.
Hawthorne Heights’ Is For Lovers festival, a play on their hit track “Ohio Is For Lovers,” just announced its third annual traveling music festival this summer. The event will star Hawthorne Heights on each date, as well as select emo heavyweights Underoath, Yellowcard, and The All-American Rejects at various shows throughout the summer.
An additional round of pop-punk, metalcore, and rock artists will take the stage. Fans can expect to see acts like Armor For Sleep, This Wild Life, Less Than Jake, Bilmuri, Cartel, The Devil Wears Prada, Knuckle Puck, Movements, and more, varying per date.
“We are happy to be back in 2024, soaking up the summer sun with these bands and fans, most of who have been shedding and shredding tears with us since 2004,” Hawthorne Heights singer JT Woodruff said in a statement. “While each show has a wildly different feel, we think it’s important to celebrate the local and regional attractions at each date.”
