By: Collette Schnoor I got the awesome chance to go experience The Gimme Gimme Disco at The Castle Theater this weekend and I had an absolute blast. The Gimme Gimme Disco was an ABBA themed DJ party so all ABBA fans could come experience their favorite songs together in person. The first thing I noticed was the crowd when I got there. The people that were there varied from 18 […]
By: Rosie Chappell Disco music, and '70s music in general, has always been a big part of my life. My mom would play it all the time. Whether it was cleaning the house or driving in the car, there would always be a Bee Gees or ABBA song in the mix. Gimme Gimme Disco really brings up some of my favorite memories while also giving an electric time. Gimme Gimme […]
By: Logan Moeller On Saturday, February 3rd, The Castle Theatre held the “Gimme Gimme Disco”. Throughout my childhood, ABBA was played constantly throughout my house due to my mother being a huge fan. After watching the film “Mamma Mia” I became fully obsessed with ABBA’s music and started to become a fan myself. I first heard of the “Gimme Gimme Disco” last year when Castle Theatre held the same event. […]
By: Hannah Berge On Saturday February 3, 2024, I attended the Gimme Gimme Disco at The Castle Theatre in Bloomington, IL. Overall going into this show I didn’t know what to expect but coming out of the show all I can say is Gimme Gimme MORE! This event was 18+ plus and tickets were $20 (before tax). The show started at 8:30 PM with the doors opening at […]
By Kate Karvelis On October 11th 2023, SZA played in her birth-town of Saint Louis at the Enterprise Arena. I have been to many concerts before, and this one was at the top of my charts. I was seated in the nosebleeds, on the furthest corner of the stage and was still blown away by SZA’s performance. The concert told a story (something which I haven’t seen before), and the […]
Riot Fest Review By, Syd Corpora Riot Fest’s slogan is “Riot Fest Sucks” but as a dedicated riot fest attendee, I would beg to differ. Not only is Riot Fest an incredible music festival with killer line-ups and several quality stages, but it has delicious food, carnival rides, and other interesting attractions. There are five Riot Fest stages: two main stages with jumbo screens at the center of the […]
By, Kate Karvelis On August 3rd, Peach Pit and Annie DiRusso played a lollapalooza aftershow concert at The Vic. The Vic quickly became one of my favorite venues, and reminded me a lot of The Castle theater here in Bloomington! I have never been to Lollapalooza, and I love going to concerts, so when my best friend asked if I wanted to go, I said of course! I really only […]
By, Kate Karvelis On August 5th, 2023 I saw Bon Iver at Breese Stevens Field in Madison Wisconsin. A drive from my hometown (Grayslake IL), but the journey was worth it. Bon Iver has been one of my favorite artists since I discovered them during the pandemic in 2020. This was one of the best live performances I have seen. I knew the lighting design was going to be good […]
