Metalcore Night

Metalcore Night is where heavy music fans come together — no matter what city we’re in. Born from the energy of basement shows and packed clubs, we’ve built a party that feels both local and larger than life. At every stop, our DJs rip through the hardest tracks in metalcore, from scene staples like Killswitch Engage and August Burns Red to modern destroyers like Knocked Loose and Wage War. Some nights we bring in guest DJs and special hosts to shake things up, and at select shows, we go even bigger by adding live bands to the lineup — blurring the line between a concert and a club night. Whether it’s Pittsburgh, Columbus, Vegas, or beyond, Metalcore Night is always rooted in the same spirit: a place to mosh, scream, and celebrate the music that binds us together.

MEET OUR TEAM

Metalcore Night is built by fans, for fans. Our crew is a mix of resident DJs, guest hosts, and organizers who live and breathe this music just like you do. From the people behind the decks dropping breakdowns from bands like Fit For a King and Crystal Lake, to the voices on the mic keeping the energy high, to the team working behind the scenes to bring guest DJs and live bands into the mix — every show is powered by passion for the scene. We’re not just running events, we’re building a community one night at a time.
