ACTORS book The Crocodile for March

Vancouver post-punk band ACTORS, with Hallows, play The Crocodile on Saturday, March 27, 2027, after a year of singles building toward Our Love Will Live Forever.

There is a certain kind of Seattle night that belongs to the black-clad: drum machines and live drums fighting it out, a guitar line pitched somewhere between dread and euphoria, and a crowd that dances like nobody brought a jacket. ACTORS just put one on the calendar.

ACTORS play The Crocodile in Seattle on Saturday, March 27, 2027, with Hallows. The listing shows a 6 p.m. start, and tickets are on sale now through OpenDate. The show was announced Oct. 28. The Crocodile holds about 750, which makes this a proper headline room for a band that has been working its way up the touring ladder for more than a decade.

ACTORS formed in Vancouver in 2012, led by singer, guitarist and producer Jason Corbett, and they have built their following the old-fashioned way: steady touring across North America and Europe. Seattle is a short drive from home, which makes this as close to a neighborhood show as a Canadian band gets on an American tour.

The bigger story is the record. The band’s press materials said 2026 would bring a stream of singles leading up to a new album, Our Love Will Live Forever, and the singles have been arriving. “CTRL” came out on Artoffact Records in February, and “Left On Read” followed in April. In a September 2025 interview, Corbett described exactly that plan: new singles through 2026, with the full album to follow.

The band has already taken the material on the road. The Our Love Will Live Forever Tour ran from Sept. 4 to Oct. 17 this year, across Europe and the U.K., before closing with three Canadian shows, including Calgary and Vancouver. That makes the Crocodile date part of the next phase: a spring return to the U.S. with a year of new songs behind them.

Seattle is about as close to a neighborhood show as a Canadian band gets on an American tour.

Why this room? The Crocodile is big enough to give a band like ACTORS a real stage and a real light show, and small enough that the bass still hits you in the sternum. For a band whose records are built on tension and release, that balance matters. You want to be close enough to see the drummer working.

Hallows open, so plan around the early start. A 6 p.m. listing on a Saturday means the night will run early by club standards, which is good news if you are coming in from out of town or want to make a full evening of it on either end.

As for tickets: they are on sale now. With a four-month runway, there is no rush to grab them tonight, but a Saturday headline show in a 750-capacity room is the kind of thing that tends to tighten up as the date gets closer, especially once the album is out and people are hearing the new songs in full.

Mark March 27, start breaking in your boots, and keep an ear out for the rest of the record.
