Atlanta, get ready to surrender to the darkness. On May 7, 2026, Terminal West transforms into a neon-soaked, synth-drenched altar when two of the most powerful forces in the synthwave universe — Dance With The Dead and Magic Sword — converge on one stage for a night that is going to be absolutely unforgettable. This is not your average Thursday night out. This is a full-on cinematic experience, a wall of sound and light that will hit you square in the chest and refuse to let go.

The Artists: Masters of the Synth-Dark Universe

Dance With The Dead is the Los Angeles-based duo of Justin Pointer and Robby Pinder, and if you've never experienced their live show, understand this — these two do not come to play around. Blending heavy metal guitar riffs with pulsating synthwave grooves, their music sounds like the soundtrack to a fever dream you never want to wake up from. Tracks like Riot and Into The Abyss have built them a ferociously devoted fanbase that shows up every single time, and Atlanta's crowd is no different. The city has embraced their dark, driving sound with open arms.

Magic Sword brings something equally massive to the table. The mysterious, masked trio from Boise, Idaho operates in a world of pure cinematic fantasy — think neon knights, ancient battles, and synthesizers powerful enough to rattle your ribcage. Their debut album Volume I became a cult classic in the synthwave community, and their live performances are legendary for their visual drama and sheer sonic force. Together on one bill, these two acts create a synergy that is genuinely rare in the live music landscape.

What to Expect at Terminal West

Terminal West is one of Atlanta's crown jewels when it comes to intimate, high-energy concert experiences. The venue's industrial aesthetic and world-class sound system make it the perfect setting for a night built around synthesizers, driving bass lines, and cinematic atmosphere. Here's what you're walking into:

  • A pounding, immersive synthwave and electronic rock experience
  • Stunning visuals and stage production that elevate every track
  • An intimate venue atmosphere where every spot feels like the best seat in the house
  • A crowd of passionate, die-hard fans who know every single note
  • Two headlining-caliber acts sharing one stage — an insane value for one ticket
