The Revivalists bring Get It Honest to the Montgomery Performing Arts Centre on Nov. 16

Fresh off a summer of arena and amphitheater dates behind their sixth album, The Revivalists play an 1,800-seat room downtown on a Monday night.

A Monday in mid-November is not when most people expect the best show of their month. But a band that spent the summer on stages like Madison Square Garden is pulling into a downtown Montgomery theater with 1,800 seats, and that math tends to favor the people in the room.

The Revivalists play the Montgomery Performing Arts Centre on Monday, Nov. 16, with the show at 8 p.m. Tickets are on sale through Ticketmaster. It is the first Montgomery date for the band in our records, and it lands in the middle of a Southern swing: Atlanta on Nov. 13, then Tampa–St. Petersburg on Nov. 18, Tallahassee on Nov. 19, St. Augustine on Nov. 21 and the Florida Panhandle on Nov. 22.

The reason for the run is *Get It Honest*, the band's sixth studio album, which Concord Records released July 24. It was their first full-length of all-new material in more than three years, following 2023's *Pour It Out into the Night*, according to the label's release-day announcement and Grateful Web. Singles "Razorblades and Runaways" and the title track came out ahead of it in the spring, per mxdwn.

The Get It Honest Tour has been a big one. It opened with two sold-out nights at the Chicken Box on Nantucket, ran through Merriweather Post Pavilion and Boston's TD Garden, and hit Madison Square Garden on Aug. 9, as Relix reported. A Red Rocks date followed in September. When the tour was announced in May, the band also rolled out what it called an "honest ticket" program, according to Pollstar.

So the Montgomery stop is a chance to hear the same set in a much tighter space. The Performing Arts Centre sits at 201 Tallapoosa St., attached to the Renaissance Montgomery Hotel & Spa at the Convention Center, and Alabama Tourism lists it at 1,800 seats. It is a proper theater, with fixed seating and sightlines that work from the balcony, which suits a band that leans on dynamics as much as volume.

A few practical notes. It is a Monday, so dinner downtown before the show is the move, and the Alley and the riverfront are an easy walk from the venue. Parking around the convention center fills when there is an event at the hotel, so give yourself time. Check your ticket for any opener and the door time before you go.

The Revivalists have spent a decade-plus building a reputation as a band that gets a room on its feet, and *Get It Honest* gave them a new batch of songs to do it with. Montgomery does not get a lot of national rock acts in a room this size on a school night. Take the long lunch, go anyway.
