Riley! bring Super Sometimes and Shoreline to WAVE on Feb. 13

An all-ages emo bill lands in Wichita for the Saturday before Valentine's Day.

The Saturday before Valentine's Day, WAVE gets an emo bill. Riley! headline the room on 2nd Street on Saturday, Feb. 13, 2027, with Super Sometimes and Shoreline in support.

The basics: WAVE's event listing has Riley! presented by Mammoth, with doors at 6 p.m. and the show at 7. It's all ages, so younger fans can come too. WAVE is at 650 E. 2nd St. N., and the indoor room holds 500 standing. Tickets are through See Tickets.

Riley! have spent the last several years building a following the slow way, touring the U.S. steadily, as Melodic Magazine has noted. This past July they played shows from Orlando to Brooklyn, per setlist.fm. The February run sends them through the middle of the country. Their Ticketmaster page has them in Denver on Feb. 12, the night before Wichita, and in Grand Rapids on Feb. 17.

All ages, doors at 6, and a three-band bill the Saturday before Valentine's Day.

That routing explains how Wichita landed on the tour. It's a stop on the way from the Rockies to the Midwest.

The bill is a full night. With three bands and a 7 p.m. start, it's built for a long evening and a crowd that shows up early for the openers. The all-ages door also matters. Plenty of the people who'll know every word of the headliner's set are too young for a bar show, and WAVE's all-ages policy for this date means they don't have to miss it.

The room helps too. WAVE is a mixed indoor-outdoor space that can scale from a few hundred people up to a few thousand, according to Visit Wichita. For a February show at around 500, that means a full room rather than a half-empty one.

If you're planning a date night, this works. Doors at 6, and you'll be out early enough for a late dinner. If you're planning a night with friends, get there for the openers. Either way, it's the most emo way to spend Valentine's weekend in Wichita.
