On Friday Oct. 17, Garfield Jailbreak will be performing at Hangar 9.
The show will center around Cyrian Mills and their band, who have found a creative and comedic way to bring the titular character of Garfield to the stage.
It is “a one-of-a-kind performance… that blends absurdist theatre, original music, and pure mayhem,” according to Hangar’s website.
Tickets are available online for $5, but will be available at the door for $7. The ticket also includes admission to the post-performance Garfield Rave that will keep the party going.
Doors open at 8 p.m. and the show starts at 9 p.m.
On Saturday Oct. 18, Latin Night at Hangar 9 will be holding a costume contest called Una Noche de Travesuras with a one hundred dollar prize.
Various genres of Latin music like bachata reggaeton, and salsa will be playing throughout the entire night, according to Hangar 9’s website.
Much like the Garfield Jailbreak, the tickets for Una Noche de Travesuras are available online for $5, but will cost $7 at the door. However, ladies are free until 10 p.m.
Doors open at 8 p.m. and the event begins at 9 p.m.
Booby’s is also hosting a concert on Saturday, with Feral Vices, El Siren, and Liar Liar set to play the venue at 9pm.
Levels will also have events on both Friday and Saturday night.
More information for all these events are available at thehangar9.com/events, Booby’s official Instagram page: @boobys_carbondale, and Levels’ official Facebook page.
