Converge

Presented by Live Nation. For over three decades, CONVERGE embodies the avant-garde of chaotic hardcore and extreme metal.

A true cult band from the United States, it has redefined the codes of heavy music through uncompromising intensity, ferocious virtuosity and creativity that has marked several generations of musicians.

Few bands can claim such a profound influence on the evolution of extreme metal over the past twenty years. From metalcore to mathcore, through modern hardcore, sludge or blackened hardcore, CONVERGE's fingerprint is omnipresent.

Its radical approach, blending violence, emotion and sophistication, paved the way for a multitude of groups that became essential. At the heart of this explosion is Jacob Bannon, an emblematic figure of the underground scene.

An inhabited singer, an incandescent performer and a recognized visual artist, he transforms each concert into a visceral experience. His extraordinary stage presence and texts of rare intensity make each performance a unique moment, where rage, fragility and catharsis meet.

Alongside him, guitarist Kurt Ballou, a reference producer whose work has shaped the sound of modern metal, forms with bassist Nate Newton and drummer Ben Koller an instrumental section of exceptional precision and intensity, considered one of the most formidable of the extreme scene.

Attending a CONVERGE concert is seeing on stage one of the most influential and respected bands in the history of extreme music. A celebration of power, innovation and authenticity that continues to inspire an entire scene. A living legend. A total experience.
