Get Ready for Metro Times Blowout 17!!!

Last week we received a press release announcing that this years Metro Times Blowout would be even bigger and even better than in past years.You may recall that last year they switched it up by having the event in two different cities over two different weekends.

This year they have yet another twist. The Blowout will be a four day event that will kick off at The Magic Stick and take place in three different cities at the same time. Various bars in Ferndale, Hamtramck, and Detroit will play host to all sorts of music and for one low price patrons will get a bracelet and be able to roam freely from bar to bar and city to city. Some of the bars hosting events this year include The Old Miami, Union Street, Northern Lights Lounge, Paycheck’s, Small's, New Dodge Lounge, Painted Lady, Whiskey in the Jar, Kelly’s, Celina’s Sports Bar, The Loving Touch, WAB, Rust Belt Market, Como’s, New Way Bar, Found Sound, and the Ferndale Public Library. They have not announced the lineup yet and are still taking submissions through February 28th. If you would like to play, make sure to turn in your applications as soon as possible.
