The Break Up Party

The anti-love alternative this time of year needs.

Overview

Not in love with love? Lacking adoration for public displays of affection? Feeling less roses and hearts, and more thorns and sadness? For anyone whose life can't be summed up by a greeting card, Valentine's Day can have that effect. We've all been dumped at least once. We've all nursed a broken heart. We've all cursed the annual February celebration of buying overpriced flowers and chocolate.

Now, at The Brightside on February 18, we can all enjoy the antidote to this much-too-romantic time of the year. At The Break Up Party, songs that everyone commits to heart when their relationship heads to quitsville is on the playlist. Yes, it's going to be oh-so-cathartic.

If you're flying solo, it's the anti-love party you've been waiting for. If you're attached but can't abide the sickly sweet side of things, it is too. Granola Boy, New Age Notion and Sleepwell will provide the tunes — epic break up songs, of course — and bucket cocktails will help get you in the mood.
