The band will be playing the venue on September 23 and 24, as a part of Rowdytown 5. The band was the first ever act to use live projection at the venue, and Big G will definitely be throwing it down for this show in their hometown before they hit the road on tour. Other acts playing include Kill the Noise, Vanic and Louis the Child.
