“Emotional Virgin World Tour 2026” lands at Mercury Lounge as a live rock/pop set featuring EMELINE, staged in one of the city’s long-running rooms for emerging and mid-career acts. The show leans on confession as structure, moving through breakup narratives, self-protection, and the uneasy comedy of wanting connection. In New York terms, it sits in the Lower East Side lineage where pop polish is tested against close-quarters scrutiny. The tight venue forces the material to stand on writing, not spectacle.
