Russian Circles is Coming to San Francisco
Prepare yourself for a night of towering soundscapes and cathartic energy as Russian Circles bring their immersive live show to The Fillmore on March 12th. The Chicago-based instrumental trio has spent nearly two decades carving out a space where post-metal, progressive rock, and cinematic ambience collide—creating music that speaks volumes without a single word.
Known for their meticulous musicianship and ability to conjure sonic worlds, Russian Circles blend bone-rattling riffs, brooding basslines, and soaring crescendos into an experience that’s both punishing and transcendently beautiful. Tracks like “Harper Lewis,” “Arluck,” and “Gnosis” hit with a visceral intensity, while their atmospheric interludes build tension like an approaching storm. Live, it’s an awe-inspiring showcase of power and precision, where every note feels like it reverberates in your chest.
The Fillmore, with its historic walls and intimate yet expansive acoustics, will set the perfect stage for Russian Circles’ music to unfurl—dark, moody, and deeply hypnotic. Whether you’re a post-rock devotee or simply a fan of live performances that demand your full attention, this is a show you can’t afford to miss.
Expect nothing less than sonic immersion. Bring your earplugs, your curiosity, and your willingness to get lost in the sound.
