Expect a mix of fan favorites and new material to erupt inside the Roxy’s walls. Supporting acts include Barrio Slam, Quiet Fear and Futura
1 lucky winner will score two tickets — pair up, bring someone who can scream along with you or that you can turn onto Habak’s music, and let the riffs, breakdowns, and emotional fire carry the night.
