Bop To The Top rolls into Emo’s Austin on Saturday, August 29 — Year 4 of a touring Disney Channel nostalgia event that has spent four summers converting mid-sized club rooms into 18+ singalongs. If you were the right age for Hannah Montana and High School Musical when they first aired, this tour has been looking for you specifically.
The format is DJ-driven: resident spinner Jeffery the DJ runs a three-hour set built around the 2000s Disney Channel catalog — High School Musical, Hannah Montana, Camp Rock, Cheetah Girls, Lemonade Mouth — plus material associated with Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, and Demi Lovato as artists in their own right. Music videos play in sync with the set. There’s full audience participation, dancing onstage, themed cocktails. Costumes are encouraged, which is either the whole point or a lot depending on your investment level. The 203 Ticketmaster reviews averaging 4.5 out of 5 suggest the audience has already made its call.
This year’s run is billed as a 20th-anniversary celebration of both Hannah Montana and High School Musical — both hit in 2006 — which gives the production a specific hook to hang the billing on beyond pure nostalgia. The tour routes through House of Blues rooms, Brooklyn Paramount, and Hollywood Palladium on the high end; Austin‘s Emo’s is appropriate mid-tier placement for a club-circuit event that’s spent four years figuring out its lane and running it well.
About Emo’s Austin
Emo’s Austin sits at 2015 E Riverside Drive — the room that inherited the name and spirit from the original Red River location. At 1,700 capacity, it handles touring club acts and high-energy nights with equal comfort. For a participation-forward dance-party format designed to fill a floor with people who know every word, it’s a sensible room for the routing.
