Hot Mulligan

Hot Mulligan at Russell Industrial Center

Hot Mulligan has a way of making messy feelings sound enormous. The Michigan band brings its sharp-edged emo and pop-punk to Russell Industrial Center in Detroit on Saturday, December 19, 2026, at 3:00 PM. If you've ever shouted along to Equip Sunglasses or found yourself returning to BCKYRD, you already know why these songs hit harder when there's a crowd singing with you.

The band's music mixes frantic guitar energy, hooks that stick and lyrics that don't try to make heartbreak or frustration sound tidy. Albums including you'll be fine and Why Would I Watch helped define that combination: big, cathartic choruses with all the rough edges left intact. Hearing the songs live gives fans the chance to trade private headphone moments for something shared, loud and impossible to pause.

This Detroit show also has a hometown-state pull. Hot Mulligan's Michigan roots mean the band is returning to an audience that can claim a connection to its beginnings. But the real reason to go isn't geography alone—it's the rush of familiar songs, the contrast between vulnerability and volume, and the kind of performance that leaves you hoarse from singing along.
