My Istanbul Romance: A Love Note to Emo & Pop-Punk

Tumblr Core Night comes to Yabangee Base on Friday 14 August for a celebration of the internet's most iconic era. Inspired by the days of Tumblr blogs, flash photography, late-night scrolling, and discovering your next favourite song through someone else's dashboard, the night is all about reliving the aesthetic and soundtrack that defined the early 2010s. Whether you were curating the perfect theme, collecting quotes, or simply loved the music and style of the era, this is your chance to experience it all over again.

Expect a nostalgic playlist shaped by the songs that filled your dashboard, with music requests encouraged throughout the evening so everyone can help build the soundtrack. Come with friends or on your own, meet fellow Tumblr-era nostalgics, and enjoy a welcoming social atmosphere where making new connections is just as much a part of the night as the music. Bonus points if you arrive dressed like your 2012 Tumblr self. Doors open at 21:30
