Currents bring a four-band metalcore bill to the Oakdale Dome on March 21

Five weeks after their Rise Records debut lands, the Connecticut-bred heavyweights headline Wallingford with Stick to Your Guns, Vana and Dreamwake.

Mark the Sunday in March when the pit at the Oakdale Dome gets its first real workout of the spring. Currents just announced a headlining night in Wallingford, and they are bringing a full bill with them.

Currents play The Dome at Toyota Oakdale Theatre on Sunday, March 21, 2027, at 7 p.m., with Stick to Your Guns, Vana and Dreamwake in support. The show was announced Nov. 3, and tickets are through Ticketmaster. Four bands on a Sunday means an early start and a long night, so plan to be in the room for the first set.

The timing is the hook. On Oct. 30, Currents announced Our Fates Lie in Tandem, their fourth full-length and their first for Rise Records, due Feb. 12. It is their first album in nearly four years, and they introduced it with the lead single "Retributioner." By the time they reach Wallingford, the record will have been out for about five weeks — long enough for the new songs to have settled into the set and for the crowd to know where the breakdowns land.

It also follows a busy 2026 on the road. Currents spent March and April co-headlining North America with ERRA, a run that kept them in front of the metalcore crowd while the new record was being finished. This tour is the payoff: a headline bill named for the album, with the band setting the pace.

The support slots deserve real attention. Stick to Your Guns have been a fixture of hardcore touring for years, and their most recent album, *Keep Planting Flowers*, came out on SharpTone Records and sent them back across the country in 2025. Putting a band with that kind of crowd-moving pedigree in the middle of the bill tells you the night is built for movement from start to finish. Vana and Dreamwake open, which makes this a good chance to see who is next before the headliner takes over.

The Dome is the right size for it. The room holds 3,200 — large enough for real production, small enough that the floor feels like one crowd rather than a field of strangers. For heavy shows, that is the sweet spot: everyone close enough to feel the low end, and nobody stuck watching a screen.

A few things to know before you go. Wallingford is an easy drive up I-91 from New Haven, and Sunday traffic is on your side. Four-band bills tend to run tight, so check the venue's set times closer to the date if you are planning around a specific act. Bring earplugs; you will want them by the second band.

Between now and March, the job is simple: spend the winter with "Retributioner," grab the album in February, and save your voice for the 21st.
