Posted in Concert, Indie, Music, Tour Dates by

I am especially excited about this announcement after going last year (see my post on it here) and having the best time!

And coincidentally my very favorite state (that I can’t wait to live in) Illinois has some seriously good taste, along with Missouri, Colorado, Pennsylvania and Minnesota who would of thought??

What is YOUR states favorite band?
