Uniform is scheduled to perform at Xbk Live in Des Moines, Iowa on November 5, 2026. The band operates within the realm of industrial hardcore and power electronics, often incorporating elements of noise music and metallic hardcore. Their sound is characterized by aggressive instrumentation, distorted vocals, and thematic concerns frequently revolving around societal decay, control, and existential dread.

Xbk Live is a relatively new venue in Des Moines’ East Village, having opened in late 2023. It's designed as a multi-purpose space focusing on independent music, art installations and community events. The venue deliberately maintains a raw aesthetic with a focus on providing a platform for diverse and often experimental acts. It quickly established itself as a key location for touring bands bypassing larger, more conventional venues in the city. Xbk Live’s capacity is approximately 250-300 people depending on the event setup, contributing to its intimate atmosphere favored by both performers and audiences interested in alternative music experiences.
