In one of the biggest venue size jumps Jase W has seen in a long time, Wage War previously played Rebellion at the start of 2020 and tonight are set to smash it at the Ritz! This is no small step-up for them and our resident gigaholic is super hyped to see them bang out a bunch of songs from their latest album, ‘Manic’.
