05.05.26, 7:30pm | The Sovereign, 3306 Washington Blvd. | All ages | $30
Touring in support of their latest album Abandon Ship, Powerman 5000 will take the stage on May 5 at The Sovereign, St. Louis’s newest major concert venue. Located at 3306 Washington Blvd. in Midtown (just a few blocks east of Grand Center), The Sovereign is owned and operated by the team behind the Old Rock House, and offers up the same intimate vibes as that local fave at a larger scale suitable for bigger national touring acts like Gary Numan, Daniel Donato, and Our Lady Peace.
Tickets are $30 and are available now via eTix, but your friends at The Sovereign wants to send you and a friend to see Powerman 5000 for free. Enter between now and April 30th at 5:00pm at this link for your chance to win:

Powerman 5000 grooved onto the metal scene in 1997 with their funky lead single “Organizized,” but it was their 1999 sophomore LP Tonight the Stars Revolt! with its sinister sci-fi overtones and huge hit singles (“Nobody’s Real,” “Supernova Goes Pop,” and “When Worlds Collide”) that blasted them to the forefront of the nu-metal scene. Singer/ringleader Spider One isn’t one to rest on his laurels, though, blending in elements of punk, industrial, and electronica into the band’s now 11-album-deep discography. Powerman 5000 will perform with support from 12 Stones and Makes My Blood Dance. For more information, visit oldrockhousestl.com. | Jason Green
