The State Journal Register and other sources have been reporting that Donnie’s Homespun Pizza is going to be taking the place of The Pizza Machine in Vinegar Hill Mall this fall, and the space is being remodeled so that larger musical performances can be hosted.  You can read the full article here.  Donnie’s already has one location which operates as a music venue and pizza restaurant in Decatur.  Donnie’s website reports that the location in Springfield will be more than quadruple the size of the Decatur location.

The Springfield Shows facebook page has already given away two of the acts to perform at Donnie’s later this fall.  One is the Marky Ramone of the legendary punk band, the Ramones.  He is to perform Thursday October 4th along with Action Bastard and Soy City Stranglers.  The other act is Reverend Horton Heat on November 21st.  Information on both shows as well as any other Donnie’s shows will be announced later and eventually listed in our shows section.
