Thrown will close their 2027 North American tour at Empire Live

The Swedish heavy band's spring run ends April 10 on North Pearl Street, with Guilt Trip and fromjoy, a few months after the new album Unwanted comes out.

Most tours fade out on the last night. The good ones get loud. On Saturday, April 10, 2027, the last night of Thrown's North American spring run happens in Albany, at Empire Live.

The Swedish band announced the tour Oct. 20, with Guilt Trip and fromjoy as support for the whole run. According to the tour announcement, it opens March 12 in Philadelphia and works through New York, Chicago, Denver, Santa Ana, Dallas, Atlanta, Toronto and Montreal before coming back up the East Coast through Buffalo and Baltimore. Then it ends here. Tickets go through Ticketmaster or the Empire Live box office at 93 N. Pearl St. (518-900-5900).

The album comes first. Unwanted, Thrown's new record, is out Friday, Nov. 6 on Arising Empire, a week from tomorrow. By April, Albany will have had five months with the new songs, which is about right for a crowd that will know the words.

Thrown play heavy music with a hardcore band's sense of momentum: short, punishing songs. When they first headlined North America in 2025, that tour sold out, and that's why this run is in bigger rooms. Empire Live's upstairs room holds 1,000. That's a big step for a band this young, and the last night of a tour in a room that size is where bands tend to leave everything on the stage.

Guilt Trip are a seasoned heavy-hardcore act who have spent recent years co-headlining North America themselves, including a 2026 run with Malevolence. Taking a support slot on this bill says something about where Thrown stand right now. fromjoy round out the night.

The room matters too. Empire Live is a two-floor club downtown, and Empire Underground holds another 350 downstairs. According to the venue's FAQ, every show is general admission and standing room, and there are no VIP tickets, so your spot on the floor is wherever you get to first. There's also no dedicated parking lot, so plan on street parking or a garage somewhere near North Pearl.

For the Capital Region's heavy crowd, having a tour's closing night in Albany is the story. Montreal gets this same bill in March, and Baltimore gets it the night before Albany. The last date belongs to us.

Buy early, stretch, and wear shoes you don't love.
