The Protomen stand as a collective of rebels uniting the people against Dr. Wily’s evil regime. They tell the story of humanity’s downfall through a three-act rock opera set in a dystopian future that combines the world of Mega Man with Blade Runner and RoboCop. The band, originally from Murfreesboro, Tennessee, have developed a cult following due to their extreme musical prowess, inspiring performances, and a mythos that fans can be a part of. Their musical style cannot be labeled in one word, but, if it had to be described, it wouldn’t be any less than end-of-the-world beautiful.

Their performance at this year’s Nerdapalooza will be an experience that no one should miss. Over the weekend, both of their albums will be performed in their entirety. This has only happened a couple of times and may not happen again anytime soon, if ever. This alone is worth the weekend pass, never mind the forty other acts performing. Come make a stand for humanity. If you won’t stand for yourself, who will?
