Experience The New Pornographers live on September 25th

The New Pornographers are scheduled to perform at Saturn Lane in Birmingham, Alabama on September 25, 2026. The band, originating from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, is known for its indie pop sound characterized by complex arrangements, bright melodies, and often witty, lyrical content. Their music frequently incorporates elements of power pop and alternative rock, featuring dual male/female vocal leads from Carl Newman and Kathryn Calder amongst others throughout their history. Formed in 1999, they’ve released eight studio albums to date, earning consistent critical acclaim.

Saturn Lane is a relatively new live music venue located in the Avondale neighborhood of Birmingham. Opened in 2023, it quickly established itself as a prominent space for both local and touring acts focusing on indie, alternative and rock genres. The venue occupies a renovated building previously used for industrial purposes; its design emphasizes intimate concert experiences with a focus on sound quality. It has a capacity of approximately 350 people and features both an indoor stage and an outdoor area. The space aims to provide a platform for emerging artists alongside established names within the independent music scene.
