Experience Action live on August 11th

Action, a band originating from New Jersey, is scheduled to perform at the Hawthorne Theatre in Portland, Oregon on August 11, 2026. The group’s musical style blends elements of post-hardcore, melodic hardcore, and alternative rock, often characterized by dynamic shifts between aggressive instrumentation and emotionally resonant vocal melodies. They are known for their energetic live performances and introspective lyrical content exploring themes of personal struggle and resilience.

The Hawthorne Theatre itself has a significant history within Portland’s music scene. Originally constructed in 1926 as a movie palace named the Hawthorne Palace, it underwent several transformations before becoming a dedicated live music venue in the late 1980s. The building retains much of its original art deco architecture, contributing to its distinctive atmosphere. Throughout its operation as a concert hall, the Hawthorne Theatre has hosted a diverse range of national and international touring acts across various genres including rock, punk, indie, and electronic music. It is recognized as a mid-sized venue with a capacity generally around 750 people and is known for its intimate setting and strong sound system.
