Win Tickets to Blackout BBQ!

Summer may be winding down, but the best party of the season is happening this Saturday. Black Iris Booking is bringing together a bunch of great bands, some great artists, cooking up some BBQ, and basically taking over the Majestic complex this weekend. They're calling the event Blackout BBQ and we guarantee it's going to be a blast. If you have ever been to Black Christmas before, we're expecting this to be along the same lines, except with food and half naked people since it's summer instead of December.

Blackout BBQ will be featuring 18 bands playing in the Magic Stick, Magic Stick Lounge, Majestic Cafe, Alley Deck and the Garden Bowl. The lineup includes headliners Koffin Kats and The Goddamn Gallows along with Iron Reagan, Fang, Downtown Brown, Against the Grain, Rebel Spies, Bastardous, S.N.A.F.U., Axe Ripper, CBJ, Cash O'Riley, The Worst Of, Trace The Veins, Hook N Krooks, Dead Church, The Ridgelands and Nightcap. Judging by Facebook, all of the bands are pretty stoked about this show and we are too. A lot of them are even doing giveaways of their own, getting you in the door or giving you some merch.

Speaking of giveaways, thanks to Ramona and Sarah at Black Iris Booking, we are giving away two pairs of tickets to this super awesome show. To enter to win, head over to our Facebook page and share the Blackout BBQ poster. Make sure you click "share" though so we can keep track of who has entered! We will draw two lucky winners the morning of the show and they will be on the guest list with a +1. If you don't want to wait to see if you won, head over and pick up tickets in advance here for $15. This will save you 5 bucks too, because the price at the door will be $20.

Doors for Blackout BBQ open at 5 p.m. and all ages are welcome. Make sure you get there early to check out some art from Signature Tattoo and Big Top Tattoo and to get in on the free BBQ too! To stay in the loop on set times, other giveaways, and all of the happenings going along with Blackout BBQ, RSVP to the event here.
