“We are so excited to be partnering with Live Wire, Kuma\u2019s and Pabst Blue Ribbon\u00a0to bring a brand-new metal festival to Chicago, hosted in the city’s newest music venue, Avondale Music Hall, which even\u00a0Time Out<\/em>\u00a0says is located in one of the buzziest neighborhoods in the world. Three shows over two weekends will bring some of the heaviest\u00a0music 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\u00a0Crossover<\/em>\u00a0and 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.<\/strong><\/div>\n
