brakence brings marroW back to House of Blues Cleveland, his first local show since 2022

The hyperpop-and-rock songwriter returns to the same downtown room on Sunday, April 4, 2027, this time with his first album in four years.

On a Wednesday in February 2022, brakence played House of Blues Cleveland. That was Feb 23, 2022, and it's his most recent Cleveland show. More than four years later he's coming back to the same room, with a new album behind him.

brakence plays House of Blues Cleveland on Sunday, April 4, 2027, at 7pm. The date was announced Oct 27, and tickets are on sale through Ticketmaster, where the show is billed as part of the Marrow Tour. House of Blues holds 2,500.

The album is marroW, released Oct 23 on Columbia. The Fader calls it his first full-length since *hypochondriac*, the 2022 album that broke him, and lists 18 tracks. Stereogum reported the announcement on Oct 2 along with two new songs, "crystallized" and "death rolL." The lead single "ready or noT" had already arrived with a video directed and edited by Quadeca. Reviews describe hyperpop, emo rap and rock colliding on the record.

The timing of that 2022 Cleveland show matters. It came in the same year *hypochondriac* made his name, so the people in that room were seeing the hypochondriac material when it was new. The 2027 show turns that around. It's the same room and a new chapter, and marroW will be about five months old by April, enough time for the crowd to know these songs as well as they knew the last batch.

Cleveland is one stop on a North American tour behind the album, reported to run from March 4 in San Diego to Aug 21 in Los Angeles. On the way it covers the coasts, the South and the Midwest, with a stretch in Canada. Early April puts Cleveland in the tour's first full month.

It's the same room he played in 2022, but he's bringing a new chapter.

What's different this time? Mostly the context. In 2022 brakence was an internet-grown artist touring his breakout. In 2027 he's touring a major-label album with a long track list, a Quadeca-directed video for the single and a tour that runs into late summer. Expect a set weighted toward marroW, with the songs that got him here mixed in.

Practical notes: this is a Sunday show with a 7pm start, so you'll be home at a sensible hour on a work night. Tickets are on Ticketmaster through the link above. Check the listing for door times and any support acts as the date gets closer.

marroW is out now, and you have five months to learn it. Cleveland waited four years for the second visit, so the crowd should be ready for him.
