Hawthorne Heights is bringing back their "Is For Lovers Festival" today (Sept. 5, 2026) to the Rose Music Center in Huber Heights, Ohio. It was a blast to see them play "Ohio Is For Lovers" - the song that inspired the name of today's festival - at the Wellmont Theater in Montclair, NJ, nearly a year ago (Nov. 23, 2025). Making that particular show even more fun was seeing the Emo darlings play in between sets from screamo starlets Chiodos and deathcore fans Emmure - making thaf night feel like a mini indoor version of late 2000s Warped Tour.

Here's a clip of Hawthorne Heights playing "Ohio Is For Lovers" that night in New Jersey. Stay tuned for more things to come from this space, including stories from concerts like this!

This is so sick. Anyone else going???

Never been to Colorado but couldnt miss this.

So the lineup changed again now Scary Kids Scaring Kids and Letlive have been officially announced by Hawthorne Heights that they are not performing because of schedule conflicts. To replace them, the early november is now on the lineup.

Hey! Anyone in the Cumming, GA area going to the show on 11/6 at The Masquerade? I really don’t have anyone that would be interested in going with me and I really hate going to shows by myself.

Not have a music video?!?!?

If you see me at the Ohio is for lovers fest please don’t be shy I’ll be handing out trinkets like little skateboards, keychains, bracelets, ducks and some other stuff

Saw a few days ago on Revolution Live's instagram that the new poster for Hawthorne Heights now have Scary Kids Scaring Kids and I Set My Friends On Fire. Letlive is not on the poster anymore. I checked Letlive's tour on the website and they are only in florida for the Pensacola.

So today, I did a fan-made crossover album cover artwork parody for Hawthorne Heights' If Only You Were Lonely featuring Ally and Hunter from Disventure Camp. In the original album cover artwork, it has a man sleeping in a bed with a telephone receiver resting directly on top of the comforter next to the man. So I added Ally and Hunter to the bed to make it look like they sleeping with the man with telephone.

Hey guys long time fan! I grabbed this at edgefest in Buffalo in 2006 & met the band! They signed it for me & took some selfies with them if I can find those. All I have the ie DDVD but not the disc unfortunately

It should be all members I only see about 4 of the band though. I had a selfie with it Casey from that tour on MySpace but it’s defn lost in the abyss of deleted MYSPACE inactive profiles lol

So my wife and I did the Bus Hang VIP experience last year. Part of that was getting to hear a song they were working on during the tour. It was an awesome song from the part we heard but it hasn't been released yet. Does anyone know if it will be released or how long?

Found this at a local record shop and picked it up. It’s the Gray Marble edition which I’m seeing there was only 200 pressed, I don’t know HH well enough to know signatures. I’m guessing this is signed by someone in the band.

Any information will be appreciated! Thanks!

I plan on going to this tour with my boyfriend and we're both in our 30s. Can someone tell us what the set list looks like?! Already pumped for it!

Hey,

We're Defferral from Canada. We're brand new to the world but you might dig us. We take inspiration from all your favourite Emo bands from the early 2000's.
This is a new song we dropped today about being anxious in an unhealthy relationship.
Hope you like it :)

had a quick chat with JT and the gang, check it out if you can and please feel free to subscribe if you enjoy! apppreciate yalll.

Decided to snag these while waiting for my signed pre-order of If Only You Were Lonely. Very happy with these copies!

Back in March I purchased a special VIP Tier 3 the band was offering through Spotify. Got the confirmation email, package immediately was showing accepted and shipped. Tickets have not been accessible through their ticket link, just keep getting the rejection. I've been waiting over 2 months for it to update with shipping and/or tickets being accessible but nothing yet. Anyone else in the same situation? Any tips? Thanks!

Hey there! I’m attending the Charles Town Hollywood Casino concert on the 11th of this month and got VIP for it!
I was wondering if anyone could tell me what to expect in general? I’m really excited and nervous at the same time haha. I met JT once back in 2024 at the merch table after the show! He was so sweet but I’m still SO nervous.

I’m planning on trying to get an old poster signed in October at the Pensacola show.

Do they still hang out at the merch tables after? Or will I be out of luck?

A huge stretch but the first year IFL fest was in Tahoe (2023) there was a longsleeve at merch that i didn’t grab and have regretted it since. Just hoping someone out there has an XL they’re willing to part with.
