KASHMIR THE LED ZEPPELIN SHOW SAT. FEB. 17TH 7:45PM ALL AGES SHOW

Castle Autoplex Main Stage 1208 Green Street, McHenry, IL, United States

Kashmir was formed in late 2001, after guitarist Frank Livingston decided to form a show based on substance and feel rather than just "fitting the suit". "It is important to look the part, but way too often tribute bands seem to forget that without the sound, the look does nothing". KASHMIR is a very entertaining show bringing only the best of LED ZEPPELIN to their fans. KASHMIR seeks to re-create the experience of a 70's Zeppelin show utilizing authentic vintage stage gear, costumes, and special effects, with great attention to detail in a non pretentious way.

GO AHEAD AND DIE W/ SPECIAL GUESTS BODYBOX, WRATH SAT. FEB. 24TH ALL AGES DOORS 6PM

Castle Autoplex Main Stage 1208 Green Street, McHenry, IL, United States

UNHEALTHY MECHANISMS is the caustic sophomore album from Arizona death-crusters GO AHEAD AND DIE. A torrential whirlwind born from the livid minds of Igor Amadeus Cavalera (HEALING MAGIC) and Max Cavalera (SOULFLY, CAVALERA CONSPIRACY). This new installment to the band’s dystopian catalog is a fresh dive into the madness of society and
the pollution that ravages our minds. From the first note there is a sense of unhinged insanity; a grim rhythm that takes listeners down sinister alleyways and across ravaged soundscapes.

THUNDERSTRUCK AC/DC TRIBUTE , W/ TEQUILLA MOCKINGBIRD, FRI. MAR. 8 7:45PM – ALL AGES SHOW

Castle Autoplex Main Stage 1208 Green Street, McHenry, IL, United States

"Thunderstruck brings the power and entertainment of a genuine AC/DC show...They're amazing...Don't miss a great night of rock 'n' roll!" - 101.4 WPDH The Home of Rock 'N' Roll
Thunderstruck gives fans so much more than the sound of AC/DC, they truly capture the high voltage energy and experience. For fans, it's about a sense of familiarity, and it's about a feeling that snatches up listeners and takes over. It's about a contagious kind of power and electricity that few AC/DC tribute bands can provide.

BLACK FLAG – MY WAR IN FULL & GREATEST HITS THU. MAR. 14TH 8PM ALL AGES SHOW

Castle Autoplex Main Stage 1208 Green Street, McHenry, IL, United States

In many ways, Black Flag was the definitive Los Angeles hardcore punk band. Although their music flirted with heavy metal and experimental noise and jazz more than that of most hardcore bands, they defined the image and the aesthetic. Through their ceaseless touring, they cultivated the American underground punk scene; every year, Black Flag played in every area of the U.S., influencing countless numbers of bands. Although their recording career was hampered by a draining lawsuit, which was followed by a seemingly endless stream of independently released records, Black Flag was unquestionably one of the most influential American post-punk bands. A full decade-and-a-half before the fusion of punk and metal became popular, Black Flag created a ferocious, edgy, and ironic amalgam of underground aesthetics and gut-pounding metal.

JACKYL w/ TRUE LOVE DEVIL SUN. MAR. 24 DOORS: 7PM SHOW: 7:45PM ALL AGES SHOW

Castle Autoplex Main Stage 1208 Green Street, McHenry, IL, United States

On August 11, 1992, Jackyl released their debut album on Geffen Records. It was the middle of Grunge, but Jackyl’s loud, proud and unapologetic rock songs, produced by Brendan O’Brien (Stone Temple Pilots, AC/DC), earned the LP double-platinum status. (And helped land the band a scene-stealing spot on Woodstock ’94.) Videos for the singles “The Lumberjack” (with Jesse James Dupree performing his iconic chainsaw solo), “I Stand Alone,” “Down On Me,” “Dirty Little Mind,” “When Will It Rain” and “Back Off Brother” earned rave reviews and rabid fans for the band’s no-holds-barred energy and lyrics
