We're Dreaming of a Black Christmas

It seems like everyone is counting down the days until Christmas, but here at Hip in Detroit we're counting down the days 'til Black Christmas! This annual event put on by Black Iris Booking, is always one of the best shows of the year, hands down. The lineup is always amazing and you get to see a ton of friends all under one roof. This year's show will take place on Saturday, December 29th and will once again take over The Majestic Complex. And, when we say take over, we literally mean take over. There will be bands in The Magic Stick and The Majestic Theatre, and organizations and vendors in The Garden Bowl, including yours truly.

This year, Black Iris Booking has put together another amazing lineup for all of us. As always, The Suicide Machines will be headlining the show. Other highlights include local favorites like The Goddamn Gallows and Mustard Plug, and the return of King for a Day and Frank White. Check out the full bill below.
