Ignite

Ignite are playing Twilight Cafe & Bar on Friday, December 11, their only Portland date this winter. If you've never caught them live, they're a melodic hardcore punk band, and that's pretty much the whole story: fast, loud, and melodic punk with a hardcore edge. It's a sound that sits right in the middle of those two worlds, and they've spent their career leaning into both.

They're touring as a headlining act, so the night is built around them. The set will be a straightforward run of their material, and since they're the only name on the bill, they'll be the ones taking up the bulk of the evening. It's a melodic hardcore show in the truest sense—fast tempos, driving energy, and the kind of punk that doesn't trade melody for aggression.

Twilight Cafe & Bar is at 832 SE Grand Ave, right in the SE Portland neighborhood. It's a spot that's easy to get to, so you won't have to trek far to find it. The show starts at 4 AM on Friday, December 11, and tickets are $20.
