The New Pornographers live in Louisville

Experience The New Pornographers live on September 27th

The New Pornographers are scheduled to perform at Headliner’s Music Hall in Louisville, Kentucky on September 27, 2026. The band is a Canadian indie rock group known for its energetic power-pop sound, characterized by complex arrangements, dual male/female vocal leads (historically Carl Newman and A.C. Newman, alongside others), and often lyrically dense compositions. Formed in Vancouver, British Columbia in 1999, they’ve released eight studio albums to date, gaining recognition for blending catchy melodies with sophisticated instrumentation.

Headliner’s Music Hall is a mid-sized independent venue located on Bardstown Road in Louisville. Originally opening as The Back Door in 1978, it has operated under several names including The Metro and Phoenix Hill Tavern before becoming Headliner's in 2014. The venue is known for hosting a diverse range of national and regional touring acts across genres like rock, country, blues and Americana. It features a relatively intimate standing-room general admission space with a capacity of approximately 600 people and maintains a focus on live music performance rather than being a dedicated nightclub environment.
