If you’re tired of having to shell out $10+ for ticket service fees, save yourself some cash and go to local venues instead.
Â
One particular place popular among show goers is Chain Reaction in Anaheim.
Â
The venue is a favorite for local bands to play as it caters to all ages while focusing on the punk, hardcore, rock and alternative genres.
Â
Chain Reaction is small enough to create an intimate feel between the audience and the bands, yet big enough to allow stage diving and a necessity at any hardcore show, a pit.
Â
If you’re looking for something to do on a Friday or Saturday night, this is a perfect stop. Not only will you be supporting local music, but you’ll be having a good time with your friends all while listening to great bands. Among the bands that have played the venue are No Bragging Rights, Onward to Olympas, Molotov Solution and Betrayal.
Â
Shows are usually held Friday through Sunday with a showtime of 7-10 p.m. Tickets range from $8-$20 and can be purchased online or at the door the day of the show. A concert calendar and ticket information can be found on allages.com. Chain Reaction is located next to the 5 freeway at Euclid.
