There’s a new punk festival of sorts it looks like happening nearby in Bloomington, Illinois coming up on Saturday, November 2nd this year that we felt was pretty notable for our site. It’s called “Midwest Extreme Fest” and is happening at Nightshop (our good pals) and being put on by Norsklee Productions.
