Backstage at Revel

It’s not a party — it’s therapy at 120 decibels. House of Heavy is coming to Albuquerque on 8 May 2026, taking over Revel Backstage for the loudest, hardest, most cathartic night out your city has to offer.
Built for the fans who crave the pit, the riffs, the breakdowns, and the chaos, House of Heavy brings the energy of a packed metal show without waiting for the next tour to roll through town. This is a DJ-driven heavy music night built on nu-metal nostalgia, alt-metal anthems, and metalcore breakdowns, the tracks that raised you and still make you want to throw down. From Slipknot to Spiritbox, Korn to Knocked Loose, Deftones to Bad Omens, expect deep cuts, classics, and nonstop heaters all night long.
Grab your crew. Lace up your boots. Bring your rage, your voice, and the energy you’ve been saving for the next festival. When your favorite band isn’t in town, House of Heavy is. Don’t wait for your favorite band’s next tour date, make this the night.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/142707/t/tickets" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">View Tickets</a> &amp; More Info

Welcome to Emo Night Brooklyn, a late-night, DJ-driven dance party blasting the best emo and pop punk jams that raised us, ruined us, and somehow still define us. We’re taking over Revel Backstage in Albuquerque on 16 May 2026 for a night of screaming every word, moshing with strangers, and feeling absolutely everything.
This is not a quiet night out. Expect wall-to-wall emo and pop punk anthems, deep cuts, and songs you still know by heart even if you pretend you’ve “moved on.” From the tracks that got you through your worst years to the ones that still hit a little too hard, Emo Night Brooklyn is all about losing your voice, finding your people, and reliving the music that made us who we are. And yeah sometimes special guests and your favorite artists even jump in to join the chaos.
Come ready to scream, mosh, dance, cry in the corner (no judgment), and throw yourself into the pit with all your favorite people. Tell the DJs what you want to hear and we promise we listen better than your ex. It’s loud, it’s emotional, and it’s the kind of night that reminds you it was never just a phase.
So get ready, Albuquerque. Lace up your boots, warm up your vocal cords, and meet us in the pit at Revel Backstage on 16 May 2026. Emo Night Brooklyn is calling — and yes, we need every soul.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/143157/t/tickets" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">View Tickets &amp; More Info</a>
