About this show

The National brings the First Two Pages of Frankenstein Tour routing to Moda Center in Portland, OR on Friday, July 10, 2026. The booking pairs the act with a multi-purpose indoor arena (19,000-seat), which sits at the arena-scale end of the room sizes on this tour. Openers on indie tours are frequently artists worth the early arrival — lineups are curated rather than commercial.

The First Two Pages of Frankenstein Tour routing builds on The National's catalog (the act traces its origin to Cincinnati, OH) and draws on the act's most recent body of work. Independent and alternative artists tend to favor mid-size theaters and ballrooms over arena environments, which keeps the audience-to-stage relationship more direct.

Setlists from earlier on this run have generally landed between fifteen and twenty songs, with at least one extended encore.

Expect a brisk security line in the first thirty minutes after doors; entry tends to ease as the support set begins.

Public transit is the most reliable way to arrive — surface parking near the venue fills well before the printed start time.

Tickets for Moda Center typically clear primary in the first wave; resale activity is steadiest in the final ten days before the show.

Companion seating is offered alongside accessible positions at no extra charge; verify by calling the venue ahead of arrival.

Merch lines at the front-of-house stand can run twenty to forty minutes during set breaks; the side-stand near the lobby is usually faster.

Tickets, official venue policies, and any updated start times should be confirmed via Moda Center's box office on the day of the show. A regional opener is expected to fill the support slot.
