Actors

On September 4, 2026 at Lido, Berlin, ACTORS bring their Vancouver-born blend of post-punk and darkwave to the stage. Led by singer, guitarist and producer Jason Corbett, the band builds songs around sharp guitar lines, analog synth layers and a drum pulse that keeps the focus on movement. The reference points nod to the 1980s, but the writing stays lean and contemporary, with hooks that cut through the fog.

Their debut It Will Come to You set the tone with concise, night-leaning anthems; Acts of Worship pushed the formula further, tightening rhythms and opening up choruses without losing the band’s cool, shadowy edge. Tracks like Face Meets Glass, Strangers or L’appel du Vide sketch a clear palette: basslines up front, melodies that stay taut, and a baritone vocal that anchors the mood.

Onstage, ACTORS translate that studio precision into a set built for volume. The tempos are steady, the textures are dense without clutter, and the songs shift between tension and release in a way that suits a late-room crowd. Berlin gets the full scope of their sound at Lido, in a show that favors impact over ornament and keeps the lights low.
