Everclear bring the fan-voted 'Lucky 7 Tour' to The Rust Belt on Nov. 13

On a Friday night in East Moline, the alt-rock veterans' setlist comes partly from what Quad Cities fans asked to hear.

There's something fitting about a band asking the audience what to play, then playing it in an old auto plant. Everclear play The Rust Belt in East Moline on Friday, Nov. 13, with the show starting at 7 p.m. Tickets are through the venue at therustbeltqc.com, and the room holds about 4,000.

The tour behind it has a twist. Everclear announced the fall run in May as the Lucky 7 Tour. In each city the band adds the seven songs fans requested most to the setlist, fans vote on the picks, and $1 from every ticket sold goes to MusiCares, according to iHeart's report on the announcement. Frontman Art Alexakis said that giving fans a real voice in the setlist, letting them vote on the songs they want to hear, makes this tour feel even more special.

So the Quad Cities set won't be identical to the one in Denver or Salt Lake City, both of which the band played on the way here. Iowa and western Illinois fans have their own say, and that's a good reason to vote if you have a favorite you've been waiting to hear.

The tour opened Oct. 22 in Los Angeles and wraps Nov. 22 in Nashville, so East Moline comes in the back half. That's a good spot: the band is warmed up, and the new setlist process has had a few weeks to settle in. On the album side, the band hasn't released a new studio record since 2015's *Black Is the New Black*, so this is a catalog night, and since you help pick the songs, that suits the format.

The Quad Cities set won't be identical to the one in Denver or Salt Lake City.

The room is half the story. The Rust Belt occupies a long, narrow building that once housed the Moline-Knight Automobile Company and later QC Metal Pickling. It sat empty for more than a decade before local music entrepreneur Sean Moeller turned it into a venue, opening in early 2019 as part of East Moline's Frog Town development, WQAD reported. Since then it has hosted acts like Bon Iver, Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats and Jimmy Eat World, along with comedy and wrestling, per Visit Quad Cities.

Before you go: buy through the Rust Belt's own site, which is the ticket link on our listing. The venue is at 533 12th Ave. in East Moline. A 7 p.m. Friday start leaves time for dinner first or a drink after. And it's mid-November in the Quad Cities, so bring a coat.

The songs will be ones you know. Which ones is partly up to you.
