When and where is the EMO Prom at Tony V’s Garage?
My Chemical Fauxmance presents The EMO Prom at Tony V’s Garage, 1716 Hewitt Ave in downtown Everett, on Saturday, May 30, 2026, from 8:00 PM to 11:30 PM. Tickets are sold through Eventbrite.
If you spent any part of the mid-2000s drawing lyrics on your Chuck Taylors, this one’s for you. On Saturday, May 30, 2026, Tony V’s Garage turns 1716 Hewitt Avenue into a full-on time machine: My Chemical Fauxmance is throwing The EMO Prom, and on paper it might be the most purely fun night the downtown Everett music scene has on its spring calendar.
The tag line from the organizer is, as it should be, unsubtle: “a night full of nostalgia, tears, and epic tunes.” Black eyeliner is not required, but it is extremely encouraged.

Three and a half hours is a real commitment from a tribute-format band, which tells you exactly what kind of night this is. This isn’t a set and a soundcheck. This is a theme party with a live soundtrack — somewhere between a prom, a karaoke bar, and a Warped Tour flashback, all compressed onto the dance floor of the best small music room in downtown Everett.
Why this show matters for the Hewitt Ave scene
Tony V’s Garage has quietly become one of the most consistently interesting live music rooms north of Seattle, and that’s not a small claim. In the last few weeks alone, the venue has stacked a Tsunami Bomb all-ages punk show, an all-female Black Sabbath tribute, a night with Tony Foresta of Municipal Waste, and an Altered 90s tribute set on its calendar. This is a bar on Hewitt that will book Fall Out Boy tributes, actual hardcore legends, rock-and-roll burlesque, and emo prom nights on back-to-back weekends — and the crowd shows up for all of it.
The EMO Prom fits that pattern perfectly. It’s themed, it’s social, it’s designed to fill the room, and it leans into the part of live music that Tony V’s does better than any other spot in Everett: it gives people a reason to show up together, in costume, ready to sing every word.
If you haven’t been, a quick orientation: Tony V’s is a 21+ and all-ages dual-use rock room on Hewitt with a long bar along one wall and a sightline to the stage that’s surprisingly good even when the room is packed. Tickets sell through Eventbrite or at the door, and the venue’s own FAQ is blunt about it: don’t buy off secondary markets; they can’t help you if something goes wrong.
What to actually expect from an “emo prom”
Let’s be honest about the bit. My Chemical Fauxmance is, by name, a My Chemical Romance–forward tribute project. Emo Prom nights in the broader DIY touring circuit typically pull from the same handful of 2005–2012 anthems every serious fan can recite in their sleep: MCR, Fall Out Boy, Paramore, Taking Back Sunday, Jimmy Eat World, Dashboard Confessional, All Time Low, Panic! At The Disco. Exact setlist hasn’t been publicly posted yet, and we’re not going to invent one for you — but if you grew up on any of that era, you’re in the target demographic and you already know what songs are going to wreck you when the chorus hits.
The “prom” framing is the point. Dress the part. Bring a date — or don’t, emo nights are extremely fine alone. Take one good photo before the mascara gives up. That’s the night.
A few things worth knowing before you go
- Get there early. Tony V’s recommends arriving early for good sightlines, and themed nights like this one historically sell faster as the date approaches.
- Will call is at the door when doors open. Print the ticket or pull it up on your phone.
- The bar is separate from the all-ages floor on mixed-age nights — pay attention to the Eventbrite designation for this specific show.
- Parking on Hewitt is street meters plus the Everpark Garage a few blocks away. Plan a ride home if you’re drinking.
What else Tony V’s is running around this show
If EMO Prom isn’t your exact speed but the Tony V’s model is, there’s more on the spring calendar worth circling:
- UNVEILED – A Rock Show for Change is listed on the venue’s Eventbrite for Saturday, May 2, 2026 at 8 PM. The organizer is framing it as a benefit-style rock night; we’d suggest confirming the cause and lineup directly on the Eventbrite listing before you buy.
- Altered 2ks with Centuries (a Fall Out Boy tribute) hits the stage Saturday, June 6, 2026 at 8 PM — so if you want to extend the 2000s pop-punk reenactment one more week past the EMO Prom, the venue is already set up for it.
- Polkadot Cadaver and Angry Toons play a Thursday night slot on June 11, 2026 — a real left turn from the tribute-night crowd and worth the detour if you like your rock heavier and weirder.
That three-show stretch, plus the EMO Prom itself, is a pretty complete picture of what Tony V’s Garage does when it’s at its best: a mix of themed nostalgia nights, working tribute acts, and genuinely off-center touring bands, all landing on the same Hewitt Avenue floor.
The take
EMO Prom is one of the easiest recommendations we’ve had to make all month. It’s themed, it’s affordable, it’s local, it’s at the right venue, and the ceiling on “how much fun is this going to be” is basically set by how committed the room gets. Based on every other theme night Tony V’s has thrown in the last year, that ceiling is high.
Put Saturday, May 30 on the calendar. Find the black jeans. We’ll see you on Hewitt.
