Dogs In A Pile head back to the Marquee in January

The Asbury Park quintet returns to the Tempe room it last played in 2023 on Saturday, Jan. 23, 2027, as part of a January run out West.

The last time Dogs In A Pile came through Tempe, it was the Marquee Theatre in November 2023. They're coming back to the same stage in January, with three more years of road behind them.

Dogs In A Pile play the Marquee Theatre on Saturday, January 23, 2027, at 8 p.m. The date was announced October 14, and it's the band's first Tempe show since November 19, 2023, at the Marquee. The room holds about 1,500. Tickets run $39.90 to $79.80 through Ticketmaster.

The Tempe show is one of 14 newly announced 2027 dates across six states, according to JamBase. The Asbury Park, New Jersey, quintet opens the run January 8 in Seattle and wraps January 30 in Fort Collins, Colorado, which puts Tempe a week from the end. It's a winter spent out West.

Right now the band is in the middle of a different trip. Dogs In A Pile are co-headlining a 13-date fall tour with Kitchen Dwellers that started October 29 in Buffalo and runs through November 14 in Minneapolis, per the same JamBase report. By the time they reach Arizona, they'll have had a couple of months of near-constant playing.

Tempe falls a week from the end of the run.

The records give a sense of how the band has grown. Their sophomore studio album, *Bloom*, was covered by Live For Live Music, and they've since followed it with *Distroid*, which listings describe as the band's third album and which they've been touring behind. They also have a habit of surprising crowds: JamBase posted video of the band debuting a Smashing Pumpkins cover, "Cherub Rock," in Asbury Park. Covers like that are part of the fun of seeing a band from the jam side of the room: you rarely know exactly what you're getting.

The listing tags this one as rock and jamband, and that's the shape of the night. Plan on extended playing rather than a tight hour.

The practical notes: Saturday, January 23, an 8 p.m. start, tickets $39.90 to $79.80 through Ticketmaster. A Saturday at the Marquee with a band coming back to the same stage tends to draw the people who were there last time, plus the friends they've been telling about it.

Three years is long enough to miss a band. In January, Tempe gets them back.
