Win Tickets to Black Christmas 2017

Around the world people are dreaming of a White Christmas, but here in Detroit we’re looking forward to Black Christmas. The annual event put on by Black Iris Booking will once again take over the Majestic Complex this year, on Saturday, December 30th. The event will feature about 20 bands, mostly from the Detroit area. Think of it as the family Christmas party for Detroit’s Punk Rock & Metal family. Some of us will drink too much, some of us might get a little inappropriate, but at the end of the night, everyone will have a great time!

This year’s Black Christmas has another stacked lineup. It includes The Suicide Machines, Negative Approach, Bad Cop/Bad Cop, Iron Reagan, Mustard Plug, Direct Hit!, Squirtgun, Koffin Kats, Elvis Hitler, We Are The Union, Cold As LiIfe, Temple of Void, WOMB, Small Stresses, Bastardous, Bruiser Queen, Suburban Delinquents, Come Out Fighting and RAWDOGS. Bands will play throughout the Majestic, in the theatre, cafe and Magic Stick. There will also be awesome local companies and vendors on site slinging merch, including yours truly from Hip in Detroit.

If you want to attend this year’s Black Christmas, tickets are only $25 and can be purchased in advance here or at the Garden Bowl. You can also enter to win a pair of ticket to the show by emailing your full name to hipindetroit@gmail.com with #blackxmas in the subject line. We will draw one lucky winner the morning of the show and they will get into Black Christmas with a friend for free that night!

Doors are set to open at 6 p.m. for this event and all ages are welcome. For more info, head over to the Facebook event page here.
