The final weekend of June is upon us and it offers up plenty to do in and around The Coachella Valley – including metal festivals, boxing, craft beers, and even midget wrestling.
Here is a rundown:
“Baddest Little Show On Earth”
The Extreme Midget Wrestling Federation (who does not live here) takes their unique show to Tortoise Rock Casino in Twentynine Palms Friday night at 7 p.m.. Featured wrestlers include Lil’ Rampage, Tiny Terminator, Nasty Boy and Little Devil. All tickets are $20 for those 18 and older.
Relive the 90s
Temecula’s Pechanga Casino hosts 90’s faves Tonic, Toad the Wet Sprocket, and Smash Mouth on Friday night. Tickets are $45 to $65 for the 8 p.m. show and please, leave your bread at home.
Hangar 24
The brewery out of Redlands will be at the Tap-In Taproom at Whole Foods in Palm Desert for a Tap Takeover on Saturday. Starting at 3 p.m. you can enjoy craft brews from Hangar 24 including Double Betty, Pugachev’s Cobra, Pomegranate Betty Cask, and the brewery’s 7th Anniversary brew.
Timothy Bradley
Root on hometown hero Timothy Bradley Jr. as he takes on Jessie Vargas for the interim WBO welterweight title Saturday night at 6:45 p.m. at The Stub Hub Center in Carson. Tickets are still available for $27 to $157 and for those not making the drive west, the fight is being aired on HBO and will be streaming at BoxNation.
Mayhem Fest
The “Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival” makes its annual stop at The San Manuel Amphitheater in San Bernardino on Saturday. This years slate of metal artists include Slayer, King Diamond, The Devil Wears Prada, and Hellyeah. Tickets range from $30 to $66.66 (oh, I see what they did there). This might just be the last Mayhem fest, so if you dig metal – better go out and see it.
Have a great weekend!
