Experience Microwave live on October 28th

Microwave, a band originating from Atlanta, Georgia, will be performing at The Palace Theatre in Calgary, Alberta on October 28, 2026. Their music is generally categorized as post-hardcore, often incorporating elements of math rock and emotionally resonant melodic passages. Characterized by dynamic shifts between intense instrumentation and atmospheric soundscapes, Microwave’s work frequently explores themes of introspection and vulnerability. The band has released several critically acclaimed albums including *Much Like Us* and *Death is a Gentle Friend*.

The Palace Theatre originally opened in 1923 as a vaudeville house known as the Grand Theatre. Over its history, it transitioned through various uses including a cinema and a live performance venue. Significant renovations occurred in the 1980s to modernize the space while retaining much of its original architectural detail. Today, The Palace Theatre operates as a standing-room general admission venue primarily hosting rock, alternative, and indie music acts. It is known for its intimate setting and relatively small capacity compared to larger Calgary concert halls – accommodating approximately 750 people. The building itself is recognized for its historical significance within the city’s entertainment district.
