March 1st: VT Union Presents ... CASSIDY

One of the best rappers in the history of the mixtape scene, Cassidy will be coming through Venue courtesy of ASAPVT Entertainment and the good ol' VT Union, still going strong. Venue deserves props for doing 18+ shows -- I firmly believe that's crucial for building the culture long-term outchea in the 802. Kids need to get inspired.

Tickets for this are $25, with a $50 VIP meet and greet package available for the ballers & fanboys amongst us. Doors open at 10, and you can expect performances from Patron Pone, the VT Union, and of course, DJ Dakota getting the party started.

N.O.R.E., VT Union, Colby Stiltz, Patron Pone and SIN

Damn, what a lineup. This is a reunion party with N.O.R.E. headlining the festivities. The VT Union will be in full force, Colby Stiltz is flying up from Florida, and Burlington heavyweight SIN will be wrecking a set, too. I have no idea who Patron Pone is but he's clearly got great taste in tequila. The whole party will be going down at a new music venue, the awkwardly named "Venue" in South Burlington.

According to 7 Days, this will actually be one of N.O.R.E.'s last shows ever. The show is 21+ and tickets are $20.
