Microwave live in Louisville

Experience Microwave live on October 13th

Microwave, a band originating from Atlanta, Georgia, will be performing at The Mercury Ballroom in Louisville, Kentucky on October 13, 2026. Their music is generally categorized as post-hardcore and emo, often incorporating elements of math rock and atmospheric soundscapes. Characterized by dynamic shifts between intense, driving instrumentation and melodic, introspective passages, Microwave’s sound has evolved since their formation in 2010, gaining recognition within the independent music scene. They are known for albums like *Much Like Cities* and *Death is a Gentle Spirit*.

The Mercury Ballroom itself opened in 1998 and has become a prominent mid-sized venue in Louisville’s music landscape. Originally built as a vaudeville theatre in the early 20th century – initially named the Bijou Theatre – it underwent renovations to transform into its current configuration as a standing-room concert hall. The venue is known for its relatively intimate setting and hosts a diverse range of national and regional touring acts across multiple genres including rock, indie, electronic and hip-hop. It maintains a capacity of approximately 850 people.
