Haken return to the Hawthorne Theatre with In A Fever Dream

The UK prog-metal band last played Portland at the same room in May 2023; they come back in March with their first new music since then.

Haken's last Portland show was May 26, 2023, at the Hawthorne Theatre. Their return keeps the room and changes the context: this time the band arrives with its first new music since 2023 and a tour named after it.

Haken play the Hawthorne Theatre on Friday, March 12, 2027. The show starts at 7:30 p.m., and tickets are through eTix. The date was announced October 26. The Hawthorne holds about 500 people, which for a band this technically ambitious means a lot of musicians in the crowd standing close enough to watch hands.

The new music is *In A Fever Dream*. Blabbermouth reported the title single as Haken's first new music since 2023, and the band followed it by announcing an EP of the same name alongside the single "Delirium." The EP came out digitally in July 2026, with CD and vinyl editions following in September. No Treble reported that the band brought in bassist Bryan Beller and producer-engineer Adam "Nolly" Getgood for the new recordings — two names that will mean something to anyone who reads album credits as closely as most Haken fans do.

Same 500-cap room as 2023, with a new EP and an expanded touring year behind them.

The tour around the EP has been a long one. Haken played a European run under the *In A Fever Dream* banner in the fall of 2026, including a Vienna date on October 1 and Berlin on October 6. They have also announced a UK and Ireland headline tour for February 2027 — seven shows from Belfast and Dublin through Glasgow, Manchester, Bristol and Birmingham to London's Islington Assembly Hall on February 7, with Ihlo and Black Orchid Empire supporting.

North America comes next. Blabbermouth reported on October 28 that the band will tour North America in March and April 2027, with Thank You Scientist and Leprous frontman Einar Solberg in support, and that the run includes a Cruise to the Edge appearance. For a band that has made several passes through this part of the country in recent years, the pairing with Solberg is a draw of its own for prog listeners.

The return to the Hawthorne is a nice bit of continuity. Portland's Haken crowd has now had two shows in the same room four years apart, which says the 2023 night went well enough for the band to want the same stage again rather than chase something bigger.

What to expect: the *In A Fever Dream* material given its first Portland airing, set against a deep catalog of long, complex songs that tend to reward the people who've done their homework. Haken shows are as much about the playing as the songs; get there early if you want a sightline to the stage.

Tickets are on eTix. Spin the EP a few times before March 12 — the new songs are the reason this tour exists, and they'll make more sense live if you've already lived with them.
