Polyphia: BE NOT AFRAID World Tour
About This Event
Polyphia headlines the Brooklyn Paramount on the "BE NOT AFRAID" world tour, bringing guitar-driven, composition-like arrangements centered on the interplay of Tim Henson and Scott LePage; their performances favor precision over theatrics. They are joined by Ladrones, a music-and-dance ensemble that incorporates diverse cultural traditions, and RJ Pasin, whose band-forward rock/pop emphasizes clean hooks and rhythmic clarity.
About BE NOT AFRAID World Tour
“BE NOT AFRAID World Tour” is currently at Brooklyn Paramount, bringing Polyphia’s guitar-centered set into a room built for loud detail. Their instrumentals braid math rock and djent technique with progressive metal weight, then borrow rhythmic logic from hip-hop and electronic production. The bill widens with Ladrones, a performance group that folds music and dance across cultural lineages, and support from RJ Pasin. There’s no established NYC-premiere history to cite, but the program reads as a snapshot of how rock and pop are being reassembled in 2026.
