The Forge

I attended this show and performed in the opening band Withering Soul, I am the second guitar player in Withering Soul. Be'lakor put on an amazing live set. Tight and complex compositions, overall an outstanding performance by them. It was an honor to be a part of this event.

The Black Moods were on fire as always!! Lived every minute. However, The Forge needs to stop having so many opening bands! I hate going to the Forge because you have to sit through 3 bands before the headliner. 3 bands who rarely get good sound or lights! But, they do offer live music so for that I am grateful. Great night. Late night!!

First time seeing Liliac, and they did not disappoint! Great energy, and they put on a great show! Fozzy was the headliner, and they killed it! The Forge is a great venue, with great acoustics, and the crowd was charged! The Nocturnal Affair opened up, and they were amazing! Outstanding concert!!

Fozzy rocked, as always!! Great venue, wonderful acoustics, and it was a great crowd!! Liliac was fantastic, and The Nocturnal Affair now have a couple of new fans, they were amazing!! What a great night!!

Show was amazing! If you like power metal and pirates, and let's face who doesn't? This is the band to see. The two singers of the band have such good chemistry. Even if power metal isn't your thing, the theatrics make up for that. Just a great live band.

the venue had some issues, the ac wasn’t on until the last hour or two, they emailed about doors changing to open a hour earlier and the show starting earlier day of. there was not space for the wrestling but they did it anyways. there were so many openers!! too many! (and they were not good) icp did not play that long because the venue closed at midnight.

The concert itself great, great band , great set, great performance... Sound in this place is just terrible. You can hardly tell what they're playing. Just one huge wall of noise. I've seen many bands there and it is basically always the same thing...

What can I say to true DEFENDERS OF THE FAITH is Udo Dirkschneider and his band are doing just that. ACCEPT is still around, and so is a key member that was crucial to heavy metal, and Udo's band is also carrying the torch as a MIDNIGHT MOVER! Horns were up in Illinois for 2 nights!

Wow--I had never seen them live and was worried they wouldn't live up to my expectations. Boy was I wrong--they were freaking amazing! Sounded great, great stage presence, looked like they were having fun (which is what you always hope for, as a fan), the venue was awesome, and the crowd was clearly stoked to be there. I definitely plan on seeing them live again, and will gladly make the 2hr. drive to The Forge for bands I want to see.

Solid 1 hour set, just wish they'd play a lil longer and mix up the set more esp. w having come through town not too long ago. But great energy and songs per usual! 🤘

As soon as I saw the vocalist come out wearing a Pig Mask, I knew shit was about to go down! Incredible show, even got to meet the vocalist after the show and get some pictures!

I am so bummed out and angry. I bought tickets from stubhub 2/24/20 for your show 5/23/20.. it was cancelled and stubhub never credited me any money at all. Ive tried multiple times to contact them, and they will not give me a credit !

JUST ONE QUESTION WHERE DID YOU PICK UP THE GUY WHO IS REPLACEING DIRTY DAVE LINSK????

TAKE CARE GODBLESS DEDE BOBBY JASON BITTNER DEREK AND DAVE AND THE HIPPIE LEAD GUITARIST. JD

The concert was amazing for set it off but the band that went before them was so crazy I kept getting kicked in the head by people crowd surfing and I was constantly being pushed but other then the crowd it was amazing and I met some people that are amazing

I'm getting married tomorrow 10/31/2019, and with both me and my girl being fans I decided to take her to the show mostly because told me she has not met a single member out of the 9 show she's gone too. For me that's always been a cake walk and every one of them have been more than humbling so for my wedding gift to her she can now no longer say that thank you Mushroomhead

This is our 2nd Jelly Roll concert! Just like the first one this concert was amazing, he truly is one our favorites. Can't wait to find out when and where there will be a Waylon and Willie tour!

Great show !!! Loved every minute of it. Dead Origional opened up the show followed by From Ashes To New and Ten Years rounded out a perfect night at the Forge. I would recommend all of these bands any chance you get an opportunity to see them.

Always awesome seeing up and coming artists live and at lowkey events like this. got to meet them after their set so that was awesome! keep tabs on these guys, I expect big things from these guys 🤘🏻😎
