Nonpoint coming to Springfield
More dates you should mark down, especially for a kick ass show in Springfield, is Saturday, October 6th. That’s when Nonpoint will be in town at Boondocks, the new and improved venue taking over the old Dirty Bird, also known as Rockin’ Robin. That show will be just days before the new Nonpoint album drops. Taproot will also be on the bill, so it’s a pretty bad ass show right here in Springfield. You better support it!
Static-X/Ill Niño coming to Bloomington
In other tour news, Ill Niño will be in Bloomington at The Castle Theatre September 24th supporting Static X. We told you yesterday that Ill Niño will be releasing their new album Epidemia October 22nd.
