The Still Not Okay Tour brings the energy, emotion, and anthems of the 2000s emo and pop-punk era back to the stage with three powerhouse tribute acts: Turtle Smash performing as My Chemical Romance, delivering The Black Parade in its entirety; Fake Happy, capturing the raw intensity of Paramore’s formative years; and The Dirty Little Rejects, a high-energy tribute to The All-American Rejects. Each show concludes with a special 2000s-era Emo Secret Show After-Party, where members from all three bands perform live renditions of the decade’s most iconic emo and pop-punk hits. Packed with nostalgia, high production value, and the full-band sound that defined a generation, the Still Not Okay Tour offers fans a chance to relive the songs, community, and cathartic release of the era—live, loud, and exactly how they remember it.

Turtle Smash is the Southeast’s loudest, sweatiest, most unapologetically nostalgic live emo + pop-punk experience — the kind of show where the guitars are big, the feelings are bigger, and the entire room sings like it’s 2005 again.  Turtle Smash packs out venues with 3 hours of 100% LIVE anthems from the bands that raised us: My Chemical Romance, Blink-182, Fall Out Boy, Green Day, Taking Back Sunday, The Used, All-American Rejects, Paramore, and all the songs you blasted in your first car.  This isn’t a “cover band.”  This is a time machine, a full-scale emotional rescue, and the ultimate throwback party wrapped into one night of power chords, sweat, and catharsis. Our shows feature pro-level production, big lights, and the kind of high-energy chaos that will have you screaming lyrics you didn’t know were still stored somewhere in your soul.  Whether you lived at Warped Tour or just fell in love with these songs on the radio, Turtle Smash brings the soundtrack of your teenage years back to life — loud, honest, and with all the heart these anthems deserve.

Bringing the Early Era Back to Life  Formed out of a shared passion for Paramore’s raw energy and emo-pop anthems, Fake Happy is a powerhouse band dedicated to reviving the spirit of Paramore’s early years. With a focus on the band’s formative era. From their 2005 debut All We Know Is Falling through the explosive Riot! (2007) and the emotionally charged Brand New Eyes (2009), Fake Happy delivers an authentic, high-energy performance that transports fans back to the golden age of pop-punk. Sprinkle in songs from a couple of the later albums including the self-titled record Paramore (2013) and the fifth studio record After Laughter (2017), Fake Happy have curated a live performance fans can appreciate no matter what era you enjoy!  Hailing from Charlotte, North Carolina, the members of Fake Happy are lifelong Paramore fans who bring their own passion and musicianship to the stage, capturing everything from Hayley Williams’ iconic vocal power to the band’s signature mix of punk aggression and melodic hooks. From the driving riffs of “Pressure” to the anthemic singalongs of “Misery Business” and “Ignorance,” Fake Happy recreates the magic of Paramore’s early live shows, complete with dynamic stage presence and electric crowd interaction. Whether you’re a longtime fan longing for the emo nostalgia of Warped Tour days or a new listener discovering Paramore’s roots, Fake Happy promises an unforgettable experience… one that celebrates the heart, soul, and undeniable energy of one of the most influential bands of the 2000s.

The Dirty Little Rejects deliver a tight, high energy tribute to The All American Rejects, built for fans who want the real thing. Front and center, the lead vocalist holds down the bass just like Tyson, locking in the look, feel, and attitude. The band fires through the hits with punch and precision, keeping crowds singing, jumping, and fully locked in. Every hook hits, every chorus lifts, and every show lands like peak AAR. With a set packed full of the anthems that defined an era, Dirty Little Rejects lean into the nostalgia and crowd connection that made AAR so iconic. The band turns every room into a full scale sing along, pushing the energy higher with every chorus. It is the next best thing to seeing the real band on their biggest night.
