AFI at Fillmore Auditorium - Fall 2025 Tour

Nov 1

AFI – Fillmore Auditorium | Denver, CO | October 31, 2025

On Halloween night, AFI brought their signature gothic energy and timeless angst to Denver’s Fillmore Auditorium, turning the venue into a cathedral of sound and shadows. As part of their Fall Tour 2025, the band delivered a setlist that spanned decades of their evolution. From the dark punk roots of Black Sails in the Sunset to the haunting hooks of Sing the Sorrow and Bodies and topping it off with some of their latest hits from Silver Bleeds the Black Sun.

Davey Havok commanded the stage with effortless charisma, gliding through fog and flashing lights like a specter leading the faithful. His vocals were razor-sharp and theatrical, perfectly matched by Jade Puget’s searing guitar work and the driving rhythm section of Hunter Burgan and Adam Carson. Every note felt deliberate, a balance of precision and chaos that reminded the packed crowd why AFI remains one of alternative music’s most enduring acts.

Opening the night was TR/ST, whose brooding electronic set painted the room in pulse and melancholy. Their shadowy synths and moody production set an evocative tone, seamlessly blending into AFI’s haunting aesthetic. Together, the two acts created a night that blurred the line between concert and ritual, a perfect Halloween experience for the Denver faithful.

TR/ST

Canadian artist TR/ST (the project of Robert Alfons) crafts haunting synth-driven soundscapes that blur the lines between darkwave, synthpop, and electronic art. Known for his distinctive, androgynous vocals and moody production, TR/ST’s music evokes both intimacy and isolation shimmering with emotion while pulsing with underground club energy. Since debuting with TR/ST in 2012, Alfons has built a devoted following drawn to his unique mix of vulnerability and electronic grit.

AFI

Formed in California in the early 1990s, AFI (A Fire Inside) has evolved from their hardcore punk roots into one of alternative rock’s most distinctive and enduring voices. Led by frontman Davey Havok and guitarist Jade Puget, the band blends gothic imagery, emotional depth, and anthemic intensity across albums like Sing the Sorrow, Decemberunderground, and Bodies. Known for their theatrical live performances and dark aesthetic, AFI continues to captivate both long-time fans and new listeners with their ever-evolving sound.
