"We
are so excited to be partnering with Live Wire, Kuma’s and Pabst Blue
Ribbon to bring a brand-new metal festival to Chicago, hosted in the
city's newest music venue, Avondale Music Hall, which even Time Out says
is located in one of the buzziest neighborhoods in the world.
Three
shows over two weekends will bring some of the heaviest music the
Northside has seen, including Trouble's first Chicago show in over five
years, Acid King, Corrosion of Conformity, DRI on their 40th anniversary
tour for Crossover and the ONLY show in 2023 for Repulsion. We wanted
to make sure to bring out as many metalheads as possible and have kept
the prices super affordable with three-day tickets starting at $100
(that's just $33.33 a day). We look forward to seeing everyone in the
inaugural year in what we hope is an annual event" says Last Rites
founder Sean Duffy.
