The Maine made a very special announcement for 8123 Day. The Arizona-based rockers are celebrating their 13th anniversary, but, they want to make it about the fans.

In 2018, the band hosted their fan appreciation day for the first time with new content every hour for 11 hours straight.
That year, they had contests, charity fundraising and a “very special fly away contest” among other things.

This year, the Maine upped the ante with a free meet and greet at the 8123 store in Phoenix along with a “Make America Emo Again” after-party.
Perhaps the most exciting bit of news, however, is the scavenger hunt. We knew one was coming based on the Maine’s 8123 day announcements but now, we have all the details, rules, questions and insane prizes.

To submit your answers, simply head to the 8123 website here. The window for submissions will be live there at 7 p.m PST/10 p.m EST. Answers cannot be submitted before that time. The website lays out the ground rules for winning very explicitly.
The overall winner will be the first person to correctly answer all of the questions and submit via the form.[…] The submissions will be time stamped entries. We will narrow down all users that submitted 100% of the correct answers. After that, we will select in order based on the time of submission. The first person to get all of the answers correct and submit first when the form goes live… will receive the top prize. We will then go down the list in order of submission to reward the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th place prizes.
The winners will be announced at 9 p.m pst/12 a.m. EST via the livestream of the Make America Emo Again Afterparty. from there, the Maine will reach out to the winners via email.
