The Prince Bandroom will have you head banging, pogoing, fist-bumping and yeehawing this month.
With every show in April, the venue will welcome in a new kind of crowd – folks with different tastes and styles, but who all share an undying love for live music and good times.
Whether you’re looking to pulse and sweat in the crowd, sing your heart out in the Bosnian language, swing your hips to some nu-country bangers or just grab a beer and check out a band you’ve never heard of before, the Prince is the place to be, with six big shows taking place across the month.
Read on for the full rundown and prepare for a party.
