JOLIET, IL — On Monday morning, Joliet Patch received a tip that proved to be true, downtown Joliet's The Forge is no longer going to exist come November. Halloween night, this Saturday, will mark the final live music concert for the downtown Joliet indoor concert venue at 22 West Cass St.
"We've made countless announcements featuring some of the best artists on the planet. This one is our last. The Forge will close its doors for the final time on November 1st— We are currently in the process of relocating the current shows on our calendar and will be making updates as we confirm new locations for each of them," The Forge shared on Facebook. "Please stay tuned. Yes, it's over, but first, we're having one last night of music and fun. Join us on Halloween, Saturday, October 31, as we bring together the staff, fans, family and friends who have supported The Forge and helped keep live music alive in the Southland for the last 9 and a half years."
On Halloween, doors at 6:30 p.m. and the music lineup will be:
"YET AGAIN, MY SACRIFICE and COVERLICIOUS"

"Bring your happy face and your fondest memories—there's no pity party here! We're celebrating the incredible music, unforgettable nights and great times we've shared since 2017, and we want YOU there with us. We've had a great time serving you for the last 9 years, so let's turn the lights off together! With sincere love, gratitude and respect. Your friends The Forge," The Forge posted to Facebook.
