Thursday night headliners Nine Inch Nails really kicked off the show. This performance was on the same date as they celebrated the 30th anniversary of their landmark EP Broken, and they delivered several tracks from that record such as “Wish,” “Gave Up” and their cover of Pigface’s “Suck” among other highlights in a career-spanning setlist.

Saturday was time to Rock and Roll all night when the Gods of Rock graced us with their presence. Kiss took the stage to a packed house, this show was just another stop on their End of the Road Tour. It has been a dream of mine to see Kiss since I was a child, now if I die I can go out happy!
