Ticket Giveaway: The Metropia Experience
The Metropia Experience is a new music and arts festival running this Thursday and Friday, June 7-8, in the Atrium Events space at 4325 N. Ravenswood Ave. The festival features an eclectic mix of mostly local musicians and artists, with a few regional acts thrown in for good measure.
Thursday's lineup includes Dinger, Marina City, Dozens, The Bears of Blue River, R.O.E., Lucky Dutch, Milano, The Pirates, Famous Like You, Take the Day, Santah and J. Crist. On Friday, the Kelsey Montanez Band, Nina Ferraro, Kirby Kaiser, Fathom Blue, Jana G., Shadow the Machine Angel, Jaded!, Ramsen, Cold Blue Kid, Tim Million, Veilside, Tiny Fireflies, Shuteye and The Night Survives perform. Doors open at 2pm each day -- which seems a little early for a weekday show, but who am I to judge?
Single-day tickets are $65 (students can get in for just $27), two-day passes are $110, and are available online or at the door. A portion of the proceeds will benefit The Bully Police Squad and WLUW.
But if you hurry, you don't have to pay that at all. We have 12 pairs of one-day tickets to give away! Just email contests@gapersblock.com with the subject line "Metropia." We'll draw names from the entries received at noon Wednesday.
