Poison the Well, Alexisonfire and Touché Amoré stack Franklin Music Hall on April 16

A three-band bill out of the heart of 2000s post-hardcore lands at the old Electric Factory room on a Friday in spring.

For a certain kind of Philadelphian, this bill reads like a mixtape you made in high school and never threw away. Poison the Well headlines Franklin Music Hall on Friday, April 16, 2027, with Alexisonfire and Touché Amoré on the bill. Doors are at 6:30 p.m., the show starts at 7:30, and tickets are on sale through AXS. The show was announced Nov. 3.

Poison the Well comes in with real momentum. The band spent 2026 on its first new music in years: *Peace in Place*, its first album in 16 years, came out March 20 on SharpTone Records, and a spring headline tour with Converge in support followed, per Blabbermouth and Consequence. Between legs they played Sick New World in Las Vegas, mxdwn reported. The year before, they toured North America with Better Lovers, Glassjaw and Teenage Wrist, per mxdwn. This is a band that came back to work, not just to take a victory lap.

Touché Amoré spent 2026 celebrating its own landmark. The band toured the world for the 10th anniversary of *Stage Four*, with an April leg that ran from Austin to Brooklyn, Consequence reported. Seeing them as the opening act on a bill this strong is a reminder of how deep it goes.

And then there's Alexisonfire, the Canadian band that sits between the two on the poster. Put the three together and you have a night that spans the sound of a generation of heavy, emotional, loud guitar music.

A bill that reads like a mixtape you made in high school and never threw away.

The room carries its own history. Franklin Music Hall at 421 N. 7th St. is the former Electric Factory, a name that dates to 1968, when the original club opened at 22nd and Arch and quickly became a staple of the city's live music, per Wikipedia. When The Bowery Presents bought the building in 2018, it briefly went by North Seventh while fans submitted more than 5,000 names in a contest, and Franklin Music Hall won, a nod to the Ben Franklin face on the old Electric Factory logo, WXPN reported. It holds 2,700, which makes it the right size for a bill like this: big enough for three bands with long followings, small enough that the pit is still a pit.

What to know: AXS is the seller, and the ticket link above is the venue's own. With a 6:30 door and three bands, the early arrivals will get the full Touché Amoré set, and that's worth getting there for. April is five months off, but a triple bill like this in a room this size doesn't usually wait for you.

Mark the Friday. Find the old hoodie. You know which one.
