By: Collette Schnoor I got the awesome chance to go experience The Gimme Gimme Disco at The Castle Theater this weekend and I had an absolute blast. The Gimme Gimme Disco was an ABBA themed DJ party so all ABBA fans could come experience their favorite songs together in person.  The first thing I noticed […]

By: Rosie Chappell Disco music, and ’70s music in general, has always been a big part of my life. My mom would play it all the time. Whether it was cleaning the house or driving in the car, there would always be a Bee Gees or ABBA song in the mix. Gimme Gimme Disco really […]

By: Logan Moeller On Saturday, February 3rd, The Castle Theatre held the “Gimme Gimme Disco”. Throughout my childhood, ABBA was played constantly throughout my house due to my mother being a huge fan. After watching the film “Mamma Mia” I became fully obsessed with ABBA’s music and started to become a fan myself.  I first […]

By Kate Karvelis On October 11th 2023, SZA played in her birth-town of Saint Louis at the Enterprise Arena. I have been to many concerts before, and this one was at the top of my charts. I was seated in the nosebleeds, on the furthest corner of the stage and was still blown away by […]

Not only is Riot Fest an incredible music festival with killer line-ups and several quality stages, but it has delicious food, carnival rides, and other interesting attractions.   There are […]

The Vic quickly became one of my favorite venues, and reminded me a lot of The Castle theater here in Bloomington! I have never been to Lollapalooza, and I love going to concerts, so when my […]

By, Kate Karvelis On August 5th, 2023 I saw Bon Iver at Breese Stevens Field in Madison Wisconsin. A drive from my hometown (Grayslake IL), but the journey was worth it. Bon Iver has been one of my favorite artists since I discovered them during the pandemic in 2020. This was one of the best […]

At the end of august, I headed back to the suburbs to see a show by my favorite dad rock bands that I listened to growing up. The concert was in the Tinley Park Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre and it was absolutely a blast. I have never seen a bigger turnout for a concert. This […]

Beyoncé – RENAISSANCE Tour By- Logan Moeller On August 21, 2023, Beyoncé took the stage at The Dome at Americas Center in St. Louis. Despite her being over an hour late she put on a phenomenal performance and sang for three hours straight. This was not like a typical concert I have attend, this was […]
