AFI

AFI, the influential US rock band formed in 1991, stand as pioneers at the intersection of alternative rock and emo, with roots that also reach into American punk. Their discography is celebrated for its bold evolution, ranging from the anthemic intensity of albums like "DECEMBERUNDERGROUND" to the atmospheric depth of "Bodies" and the forthcoming "Silver Bleeds the Black Sun…," scheduled for release in October 2025. AFI’s expansive catalogue is marked by compelling tracks that continue to resonate with audiences across generations of alternative music fans.

Their live music reputation is equally impressive, with performances noted for a unique blend of energy and emotion. In October 2025, AFI took the stage at Texas Motor Speedway for the Sick New World festival, appearing as a main support act amidst a lineup led by System of a Down, Deftones, and Slayer. This placement alongside such iconic names attests to AFI’s enduring relevance within the alternative and emo scenes. Looking ahead to August 2026, AFI will return to headline at London’s O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire, reaffirming their strong connection with UK audiences and their international stature as a must-see concert experience.

For those who value distinctive alternative rock and seek out memorable gigs, AFI continue to be a benchmark of creative energy and musical innovation. Follow AFI for the latest tour dates and make sure to catch them live at upcoming shows.
