Hawthorne Heights are an American rock band from Dayton, Ohio, widely recognised as one of the defining acts of the 2000s emo and post-hardcore scene. Known for their emotionally charged lyrics and melodic yet heavy sound, the band built a devoted global following with songs that blend soaring choruses, dual vocals and introspective storytelling.
They rose to prominence with the album The Silence in Black and White (2004), featuring their breakout anthem “Ohio Is for Lovers”, followed by further releases including If Only You Were Lonely (2006), which featured the hit singles “Pens and Needles” and “Saying Sorry”. Across the years, Hawthorne Heights have continued to evolve their sound while remaining rooted in the heartfelt intensity that made them a staple of the emo and alternative rock movement.
The event is taking place at Donington Park, Castle Donington. See individual listings for full venue details.
