Currents book The Bomb Factory for a March Saturday in Deep Ellum

The Connecticut metalcore band takes on one of Dallas's biggest rooms on Mar. 13, and tickets are already moving through AXS.

Picture the floor at The Bomb Factory on a Saturday night in March: 4,300 capacity, a stage built inside an old industrial shell on Elm Street, and a metalcore band whose records live on breakdowns built for exactly that much space. That's the night Currents just put on the Dallas calendar.

Currents play The Bomb Factory on Saturday, March 13, 2027, with the show starting at 7 p.m. The date was announced Nov. 2, and tickets are on sale through AXS. No openers are listed for the Dallas date yet, so keep an eye on the venue's calendar as the bill fills in.

If the name is new to you, Currents are a metalcore band from Fairfield, Connecticut. Their most recent full-length, *The Death We Seek*, came out May 5, 2023 on SharpTone Records as the follow-up to 2020's *The Way It Ends*, according to 27 Magazine's announcement coverage. Guitarist Chris Wiseman co-produced it with Ryan Leitru, and Jeff Dunne, whose credits include Wage War and Ice Nine Kills, mixed it, per All Music Magazine. Reviews split: Wall of Sound argued the record satisfied both the heavy and melodic sides of the genre's audience better than its predecessor, while other critics found the second half wearing.

The band has kept a steady road schedule since. Earlier this year Currents co-headlined a March and April 2026 North American run with ERRA, Blabbermouth reported. A Bomb Factory booking for 2027 is a step up in room size worth noticing.

The venue carries its own weight in this town. The site dates to 1914, when Henry Ford acquired it for one of his early automobile assembly plants. It ran as a music venue from 1993 to 1997, went dark, and came back on March 26, 2015, after Clint and Whitney Barlow, the owners of Trees, bought and renovated it; Erykah Badu played the grand opening, as the Dallas Morning News covered at the time. It spent a few years as The Factory in Deep Ellum starting in 2021 before getting its old name back on March 3, 2025, per The Bomb Factory's Wikipedia entry.

A metalcore band built on big breakdowns, in a Deep Ellum room built for 4,300.

That history matters for a show like this one. Deep Ellum has long been where Dallas goes for loud music, and The Bomb Factory is its largest club-style room. When a band like Currents books it, they are betting on a big, standing-room crowd showing up on a Saturday, not a sleepy weeknight.

What to know before going: the 7 p.m. start is early for a Saturday, which usually means support acts go on close to doors, so if openers get added, plan to be on Elm Street in time. The venue's plan-your-visit page covers bag policy and parking, and both are worth a look before a sold-floor night in Deep Ellum, where street parking fills fast.

March is a long way off, but the ticket link is live now. Mark the date, find your crew, and get ready to spend a Saturday night in the pit at one of Dallas's landmark rooms.
