Channel 93.3’s Big Gig is coming to Fiddler’s with an all-star line up of big and rising bands.

Cage the Elephant, who’s headling the event, is known for putting on some crazy concerts with immense amounts of energy. I’ve seen them myself a few times and have to say that they put on some of the best concerts I’ve ever been to. Not only is their music great, but their stage presence is both intriguing and exhilarating and almost comes with a guaranteed crowd surf from lead vocalist Matthew Schultz.

Also sharing the stage with them is Young the Giant, X Ambassadors, MisterWives, Vinyl Theatre and The Unlikely Candidates.

Tickets for the show are selling quick, so be sure to act fast so you don’t miss it.
