Empire Live sits in that productive middle range — too big for a club, too small for an arena, and booked with the kind of acts where you can still feel the room working. Turnover fits that space perfectly, and they’re bringing their 2026 North American Tour to 93 North Pearl Street on Monday, June 8 with doors at 7:30 PM.
About Turnover
Virginia Beach-born and formed in 2009, Turnover is one of those bands that made a genuine left turn and pulled it off. They started as a pop-punk outfit and evolved into something more textured — Peripheral Vision (2015) landed at No. 4 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart and introduced a lot of people to the band’s shoegaze-leaning dream pop sound. Good Nature (2017) went hazier and more sun-soaked; Altogether (2019) folded in unexpected soul influences. Their most recent record, Myself in the Way (2022), keeps that thread moving. It’s an arc that rewards a live show — these songs have come a long way from their pop-punk origins and they sound better for it.
Support comes from Narrow Head and she’s green. The Albany date is one stop on a North American run that also includes festival appearances at Bonnaroo and Governors Ball this summer.
About Empire Live
Empire Live holds 1,000 standing and runs a general admission main room with good sightlines and a loud, clear PA tuned for exactly this kind of show. Sound sweet spot is center floor, 15 to 20 feet back from the stage. Pre-show, The Hollow Bar + Kitchen is next door at 79 North Pearl — that is not a coincidence and not something you should ignore. For parking: street parking is free after 5 PM on weekdays, which covers a 7:30 show, but it goes fast on sold-out nights. MVP Arena Garage at 1 Market Street runs $8. Rideshare drops off directly on North Pearl Street if you’d rather not think about it.
Empire Live is one of the anchor rooms in the Albany / Capital District scene — the kind of booking that routes national acts through a city that might otherwise get skipped on a mid-sized tour.
