Emo Nite, the roaming DJ-driven dance party, landed at Stagecoach on Friday at Diplo’s Honky Tonk with Y2K-fueled performances by Ashlee Simpson and 3OH!3.
The set was kicked off by Emo Nite founders Morgan Reed and T.J. Petracca with Fall Out Boy’s “Sugar We’re Going Down” followed by a slew of remixes from the likes of Panic! At the Disco, All-American Rejects, Paramore, and My Chemical Romance. There were also other early aughts hits including “Mr. Brightside” from the Killers and Blink-182’s “All the Small Things.” Naturally, Justin Bieber’s “Baby” also played for the crowd.
The nostalgia was high as 3OH!3 appeared onstage. The electropop duo dressed for the occasion as Woody from Toy Story and sang favorites like “My First Kiss.” At some point, they had everyone gathered under the massive tent jumping up in their cowboy boots to their breakout (and later, controversial) single, “Don’t Trust Me,” and singing along to the verse: “You tell your boyfriend, if he says he’s got beef/That I’m a vegetarian and I ain’t fucking scared of him!”
