- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 22 Aug, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Sat, 22 Aug, 2026 at 10:00 pm (+01:00)
- **Event Description**: For more than three decades, AFI has thrived on reinvention, earning platinum records, major-label success, and a devoted, cult-like fanbase. From their scrappy beginnings as a hardcore band in the early ’90s, through their dark melodic punk evolution at the turn of the century, to their mainstream breakthrough and later shape-shifting alt-rock exploration, the band has never stopped challenging themselves or their audience. Each era has marked a bold new chapter in a career defined by creative fearlessness.

That spirit continues with their latest album Silver Bleeds the Black Sun…, a dark and ethereal reinvention that expands the band’s sonic universe while remaining unmistakably AFI. As frontman Davey Havok describes it, the record is “a sonic manifestation of the struggle to reconcile existence in the godless, uncanny dystopia of modern life.” The result is an album that feels out of time, at once familiar and fresh, drawing on classic sounds and reinterpreting them through a modern lens.
