Carbondale

Lost Cross
The oldest continuously-running punk house in the US. The historic home is a few blocks from Southern Illinois University Carbondale & celebrates it's 35th anniversary in September of 2021. Lost Cross is going harder than ever thanks to a strong DIY scene in the neighboring community. We are an all ages venue & plan shows roughly once a month. Contact via FB.
