Toad’s Place is finally here
I know it’s not exactly “West of the Boulevard,” but Toad’s Place, a 1,500-person music and entertainment venue, is finally opening on the Riverfront. This is great for Richmond, which has had a dearth of musical acts due to the lack of facilities to handle mid-sized crowds. There are only so many acts that fit inside of Alley Katz.
Musical acts booked to date look pretty good (at least by Richmond standards). A few highlights…
June 21: Squirrel Nut Zippers
July 5: Summer of Love Tour
July 8: Bowling for Soup
July 21: Reel Big Fish/Less Than Jake
Sept 2: Lamb of God
From the Toad’s Place website:
