0 for 4 as far as attending these 4 Awesome Festivals

I am not going to attend any of these 4 awesome festivals in 2022, listed in chronological order. Do I wish I were going to FL, OH, KY, and CA in 2022? Hell yes! Is it too late to go to any of them? Hell yes!

ATW is Coming to Gabes . . . and I had Never Heard of ATW until I saw the Announcement...

All Them Witches is playing at Gabes in Iowa City on Friday, March 4, 2022, and their schedule is intense. The tour begins on March 1, 2022, and they play concerts March 1 through March 5. 

Who is All Them Witches and why do I care? Well, yes, I had never listened to this band until I saw the announcement. I am starting the second tune on their first album and ... I think I may have found a great band! 

They are in a genre I've definitely heard previously - they're not groundbreaking and playing some genre that hasn't ever been heard before. The best I can do is compare them to a band called The Atomic Bitchwax, a band I don't often listen to, but when I do, I think I should listen to them on a more regular basis. Don't get me started on all the other bands in that category - bands that I should work into my regular rotation of Bayside, Count the Stars, Metallica, Shinedown, Seether, and several others. 

Brief tangent: Yes, Seether has been making it to my ears more and more over the last few weeks. I am disappointed that it looks like I will not see them play at Welcome to Rockville 2022 in May in Daytona, FL. I just don't think that trip is going to happen, VERY unfortunately as it would have been one last opportunity to see KISS in concert, one opportunity to see the Foo Fighters in concert, and, most importantly, the opportunity of a lifetime to go on a trip with my son Alex prior to his wedding day in June 2022.

But this post is about ATW so let's have them!

WTR 2022 Update

I can't buy a 4-day VIP ticket for Welcome to Rockville.

I can buy a VIP ticket for 3 of the 4 days, which is a much more expensive route than the Weekend VIP path above.

As it stands now, I don't think I'll be going to see KISS, 5FDP, Papa Roach, Korn, Breaking Benjamin, Megadeth, Seether, Skillet, Guns-n-Roses, Shinedown, Foo Fighters, and The Hu.

The Foo Fighters Live at Madison Square Garden on 06-20-2021

I don't have a ticket for Welcome to Rockville 2022 in Daytona Beach, FL, in May 2022. If it turns out that I go with Alex, I am very excited to watch the Foo Fighters on the final night.

New Shinedown on the Way

• If
• the timeline Brent Smith mentions in this article is followed - Next Shinedown album
• I attend Welcome to Rockville in Daytona Beach, FL, in May 2022
• THEN
• I will likely hear new Shinedown tunes in concert
• ELSE
• I will not hear new Shinedown tunes in concert in 2022 as there are zero Shinedown concerts in my part of the USA scheduled (as of now) in 2022, which would result in me being very sad..
