'Royal Bliss' to open Antioch Bandshell Concert Series
The Village of Antioch has partnered with local radio station 95 WIIL Rock (95.1, WIIL-FM) to bring Utah-based rock band, Royal Bliss, to the Antioch Bandshell for an all-ages concert. The June 9th concert will kick off the village's Thursday Concert Series at the downtown Bandshell. Additionally, the concert will serve as the kick-off show for 95 WIIL Rock's 30th Anniversary Summer Concert Series.
Opening for Royal Bliss will be Lines of Loyalty, and Ignescent. The show will begin at 6 p.m. at the Antioch Bandshell, 900 Skidmore Drive, Antioch, IL 60002.
Antioch Mayor Scott Gartner says the village is excited to partner with WIIL Rock to bring the popular band to Antioch for a free, all-ages show. "This is going to be a fun evening for our residents, and a great opportunity for visitors to experience a great evening in Antioch," said Gartner.
Downtown Antioch features nearly a dozen restaurants and bars, and nearly two dozen boutique retail stores, with many more restaurants and shopping opportunities throughout the entire community.
"I can't think of a better place than the Antioch Bandshell to hold our kick-off concert for WIIL ROCK's 30th Anniversary! Antioch has always been an important part of our listening area! Antioch is where I've called home for the past 6 years and many of our listeners and sponsors reside here too!" said John Perry, Content Director for 95 WIIL ROCK.
