Sad Summer Fest asks the question: What is Emo to you? As a thesis or a concept, I think the tour was incredibly successful in not just answering that question, but also getting fans across the spectrum to dig a little deeper to figure out that answer for themselves.

To close out our preview coverage, I’m excited to share my discussion with Sad Summer Fest co-founder and show producer Josh Terry. He talks about the catalysts for bringing Sad Summer Fest to life, what fans and fest attendees can expect, what “emo” music is and what it means to him, and much more.

I’m really excited to share my chat with Chris Freeman, guitarist for one of the most exciting bands on this year’s lineup, Hot Mulligan.

Sad Summer Fest is coming up quick. Taking over The Andrew J. Brady Music Center on Wednesday, July 19, headliners Taking Back Sunday are bringing a wide variety of Emo, Emo Adjacent, and Pop Punk bands to the stage in what I think is going to be one of the best shows of the summer.

Sad Summer Fest is headed to The Andrew J Brady Music Center on Wednesday, July 19th featuring Taking Back Sunday, The Maine, Motion City Soundtrack, PVRIS, Hot Mulligan, Mom Jeans, Stand Atlantic & Sincere Engineer!
