    About This Event

    Hawthorne Heights, the Dayton-formed rock group whose tight hooks and dual-vocal push-and-pull helped define early‑2000s emo and post‑hardcore, returns to Irving Plaza for a 20th‑anniversary performance of If Only You Were Lonely with the current lineup of JT Woodruff, Matt Ridenour and Mark McMillon. They are joined by letlive and Creeper; letlive, an individual post‑hardcore artist with more than 100,000 Spotify listeners, brings sharp dynamics and direct emotional candor suited to Irving Plaza's room.

    About If Only You Were Lonely

    If Only You Were Lonely is the second studio album by American rock band Hawthorne Heights, and the final album to feature rhythm guitarist and unclean backing vocalist Casey Calvert before his death on November 24, 2007. It was produced by David Bendeth. The title of the album is in reference to a B-side by the Replacements of the same name.
