Sad Summer Festival Brought Out Cincinnati’s Inner Emo Kid [PHOTOS]

On July 19, the fourth annual Sad Summer Festival brought its tour to Cincinnati and also brought a lot of former emo kids out of retirement (though we suspect many never really quit).

Featuring bands like Motion City Soundtrack, Mom Jeans, Hot Mulligan, PVRIS, Stand Atlantic, The Maine and Taking Back Sunday, Sad Summer Festival celebrates the revival of emo music and bringing fans across the United States together. Keep scrolling for everything we saw during the bands’ performances at the Andrew J Brady Music Center.
