Pretty freakin' unbelievable that is happening...on Sunday, September 9, 2018, The 5.6.7.8's and Shonen Knife will perform to culminate a weekend of celebration at the Japan House at the University of Illinois. We are not sure if these bands have ever performed on the same bill in the US - which makes it pretty amazing that it is happening here (and we are pretty sure that this show is a one-off).
There will be activites all weekend with Matsuri, but the big, public event is on Sunday (9/9) will attractions/activites all day. The bands will start at 5:30 and everything will wrap at 9 (with fireworks closing out the show).
We highly recommend that you cicle this date on your calendars!
