MATI weekend marks the official opening of The Sovereign – a main stage venue for the festival and St. Louis’ newest independent concert venue. Created in partnership with and operated by Old Rock House, the 1,200-capacity venue created in a fully renovated historic building on Washington Avenue is a welcome addition to the East Grand Center neighborhood.
Festival heavy-hitters including Ryan Trey, The Budos Band, Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe, Butcher Brown, Arooj Aftab, and Keyon Harrold will be among the first to grace its stage. Beyond MATI weekend, The Sovereign has a solid lineup of shows booked through the end of the year. Visit oldrockhouse.com/the-sovereign for updates and information.
