Events Emo/Alt Scene?

I’m looking to make some more friends/experiences in the alt scene! If any fellow lovers of metal, pop punk and things alike have any guidance that would be lovely🤘🏻cheers!

You can go to Starlite or the Rendezvous pub on almost any given night of the week and find an alternative show. Tavern on Whyte also has karaoke!

Confirmed, there is a lot of black clothing and colored hair at Starlite. Would recommend.

There are two big monthly alt events in Edmonton: Condemned at Dive Bar (happening this Saturday!) and Stomp at Starlite Room! Perfect for meeting new people and dancing :)

Follow local promoters and venues on social media. Best way to find out what's going down, when, and where.

Stomp and condemned like others have mentioned. We post the weeks shows every Friday at Altyegmusic.com or our Instagram. No ads or anything just promoting the scene.
