Is the EMO Era invading 2026? Alesana in Argentina

Marching to the Uniclub, we could see the large number of fans in their “EMO” outfits queuing up, waiting to see Alesana’s return to Argentina with their tour dedicated to their iconic album “The Emptiness”.
Opening the evening was the local post-hardcore band “Portland”, with energetic and emotional sounds that made the venue vibrate.

The lights went out, and the fans were already getting more and more excited. When the curtain opened, the screams began, and Alesana took the stage with incredible power!

Starting with the huge hit “Curse Of The Virgin Canvas,” the euphoria of the audition was unleashed! The interaction with his fans was so sweet; Shawn Milke’s charisma is unique. What a fun and talented person! With his angelic voice, accompanied by Dennis Lee’s devilish screams, the mosh pits got more and more intense in a completely sold-out venue!

Some fans started going up on stage, which the band took very well; Dennis even offered them his hand to help them up.
A beautiful moment was when they threw down a flag with the album cover, but… with Messi in the center—a lovely creation by the president of their fan club in Argentina.

Unlike a traditional set, there were no strategic pauses to insert classics and raise the euphoria, so the commitment was total to go through a whole album.
The band left the stage for a few moments, and the fans began to shout, “One more! One more!” Of course, they returned and played their ever-present anthem, Apology!
