FM 102/1 has made sure the 18th edition of their Big Snow Show is the biggest one yet, and on Tuesday, they announced a staggering fourth night of concerts for this year’s event at The Rave.
The newly-added night of the lineup adds Cage the Elephant, bringing the Grammy-winning band to Milwaukee for the first time in five years. They’ll play The Rave on Wednesday, December 11th, fresh off the release of their latest album, “Neon Pill.”
“Cage has been a huge deal for years and years,” said Michelle Rutkowski, FM 102/1’s programming director. “Their latest release is incredible, and we’re ecstatic that we can bring them to Brew City. They’ll be coming in hot off a sold-out show in Chicago, so let’s take this opportunity to show them that Milwaukee is the true Midwest capital for insane levels of support, energy, electricity and overall awesomeness.”
Opening for Cage the Elephant will be Los Angeles rockers Badflower, who built momentum on 2021’s “This Is How The World Ends,” and have a pair of singles that have topped the Billboard Modern Rock charts with “Heroin” and “The Jester.” Big Snow Show 18 will be part of a Midwest run of dates for the band.
“For those who don’t know Badflower, I highly recommend checking them out before the show,” said Rutkowski. “They’re unique and have a powerful sound. I’m sure everyone who gives them a shot will be impressed and excited to see them open up for Cage.”
