Mersiv steps up to The National for his Richmond return

His first Richmond date since a 2023 night at The Broadberry lands Thursday, March 4, at The National, with a fifth album announced and Seth David and Scarlet House on the bill.

The last time Mersiv played Richmond, it was Nov. 30, 2023, at The Broadberry. The next visit moves him into a bigger room: The National on Thursday, March 4, 2027, a 1,500-capacity hall on a weeknight that bass fans will have circled well in advance.

Doors are at 6:30 p.m. and the show starts at 7:30 p.m. Seth David and Scarlet House open. Tickets are on sale through AXS. The date was announced Oct. 28.

The step up from The Broadberry to The National is the clearest sign of what's changed in three-plus years. When Mersiv came through in 2023, it was the same year Pollstar reported his Out of Bounds Tour, and EDM Identity covered the *Out of Bounds* release that fall. The new Richmond date arrives with another record in motion.

In late August, EDM Identity reported that Mersiv had begun unveiling his fifth studio album, *NOSTALGIA*, with the lead single "Kickback," announced through a promotional video on Instagram. A September feature at EDM.com described a new album and a fourth Red Rocks headline on the horizon, and his management, Red Light Management, listed that Red Rocks Amphitheatre date for Oct. 23, 2026.

The step up from The Broadberry to The National is the clearest sign of what's changed.

So March is the first chance for Richmond to hear the *NOSTALGIA* era in person. Expect "Kickback" and the new material alongside the tracks that built his following, the kind of eclectic bass music EDM Identity described when it introduced the album.

The support slots are part of the draw too. Mersiv has a track record of putting other producers in front of his crowds; EDM Identity has covered his *Throw Down* compilations showcasing up-and-coming artists. With Seth David and Scarlet House both on the bill, it's worth arriving early rather than treating the openers as background.

The National is a different kind of night than a club show. It's a seated-balcony, open-floor theater room, the sort of space where a bass-music set has to fill a lot more air, and a 1,500-person crowd on a Thursday means the floor will be full of people who planned for it. The 6:30 doors and 7:30 start are early for an electronic bill, which makes it easier to see the whole thing and still get home on a work night.

What to know before you go: check AXS for ticket types, plan to be in the room by the time Seth David starts, and listen to "Kickback" first so the new material isn't a surprise.

Richmond has waited a while for this one, and the room has grown to match. The JamBase listing is here. Thursday, March 4. Bring earplugs.
