Detroit's Twiztid to Celebrate 25 Years of 'Freek Show' with Special Shows and Conventions

The hip-hop horrorcore duo is gearing up for the second leg of their highly-anticipated Freek Show tour, which kicks off on Devil's Night at Saint Andrew’s Hall. The tour marks a major milestone – the 25th anniversary of their sophomore album, 'Freek Show'. In celebration, Twiztid will be performing special annual shows, including Fright Fest, and headlining Astronomicon 9 in April.

The first leg of the Freek Show tour has already wrapped up, but fans can expect more shows across the east coast through mid-November. With each performance, Twiztid is taking their fans on a journey through horrorcore's darker side. Fright Fest promises to be an unforgettable experience, with fans dressed in their best Halloween attire.

However, what sets this tour apart is the variety of conventions and events that come with it. The duo will also be attending Astronomicon 9, their family-friendly pop-culture convention. Taking place at the Ann Arbor Marriott Ypsilanti at Eagle Crest on April 10-12, this event celebrates all things sci-fi, fantasy, and horror.

Astronomicon 9 promises to be a fun-filled experience for fans of science fiction and comic books. With panels, autograph sessions, and exclusive merchandise available, attendees can look forward to an exciting weekend filled with pop culture festivities.

Tickets and more information are now available on Twiztid's official website, ensuring fans can secure their spot at these events. As the 25th anniversary of 'Freek Show' approaches, Twiztid is taking its fans on a journey through music, horror, and family-friendly fun – don't miss out on the action!

Twiztid and Astronomicon 9? that sounds like something my little bro would drag me to lol. but for real, if they're gonna be there, might as well check out their sick music too. Been a fan of horrorcore since I was a teenager, so this is right up my alley and now they're celebrating 25 years? that's wild . what's next, a Metallica comic con?

.. I remember when I first heard that album back in the day... it was like nothing anyone had ever heard before . Twiztid's been bringing the noise for 25 years now, and it's crazy to think they're celebrating such a milestone. Fright Fest sounds like so much fun, especially with all those fans dressing up in their best Halloween gear . But what really gets me is that Twiztid's also going to be at Astronomicon 9 - I mean, who doesn't love some good ol' sci-fi and fantasy action? I'm not sure how old my brain can handle all the new stuff they're putting on now though... back in my day we were just happy with a cassette tape and a boombox . Anyways, if you haven't gotten your tickets yet, what are you waiting for?!
