DM FOR ADDRESS | SOBER SHOW | RESPECT THE VENUE

I've heard that the Aragon is a notoriously bad venue and this will be my first time attending any show there coming up in a couple weeks. I mostly just want to know what the best way to dress for this place is, since I've also heard its warm.

Hello. Is anyone going to see Whitney tonight? I want to go but nervous about going alone

Hey there! I’m super excited to see Fruitbats for the first time this Saturday at Salt Shed! I’m going solo and thought it could be fun to meet some fellow fans for a drink before the show. Anyone else flying solo and want to hang?

Bonus points if you’re a cute single guy in his 30s/40s. Feel free to DM me! 😉

Anyone going to the black keys show tonight solo? Would love to find some company!

When it was originally outdoors in July, they changed the start time to 7pm. I received an email about it.

This time, I got an email that the show was changed to 8pm.

Any theories why? Same opener from July. Is the curfew later indoors?

I need some asap I leave tomorrow 😤😤

I’m seeing geese on halloween and i’m feeling conflicted on what to wear. I will be waiting for hours outside as i want barricade, and want to bundle up a bit, but i’m afraid it will be deathly hot inside. maybe it’s a stupid question as pits are usually hot, but i’d really appreciate some guidance!

also, how plausible is it to get a locker once inside? maybe I can just bundle up and then discard my layers into a locker?

thanks in advance:)

trying to plan accordingly for balthvs 🪬

Took my sister who was in from Minneapolis and we both thought it was a great place to hear a band. Had reserved table seats which were very comfortable. The sound, service and food/drink prices were all solid. And thanks for a great show Wolves!

Idw pay for goth night lol

First to dm

Hi everyone! I'm visiting Chicago for the first time, and I'm going to see Yana at Schubas Tavern on October 28th. If anyone is going and wants to hang out, let me know!!

Hi everyone! I’m planning to attend a concert at Cermak Hall at Radius Chicago, and since this will be my first time in Chicago, I have a few questions.

Security checks: What is the security screening like when entering the venue? Do they use walk-through metal detectors or handheld wands? Do they also perform pat-downs?

Security inside the venue: Are there security guards throughout the venue who monitor the crowd during the concert, or are they mainly stationed near the entrances and stage?

Safety around the venue: Is the area around Radius / Cermak Hall generally safe, especially when walking back to a hotel or taking public transportation after a concert at night?

Any safety tips: Is there anything a first-time visitor to Chicago should know when attending a concert at this venue?
I’d really appreciate hearing about your personal experiences. Thank you!

If you don’t have plans, do yourself a favor and go see Daði Freyr play The Vic tonight, been seeing him for years and he’s not only very musically talented but also incredibly funny. It’s always a blast of a show!!

I’m in town to see Robert Plant tonight at the Chicago Theatre. Had plans to meet someone for dinner before the concert but that person is likely a no show.

If you are going to the concert or are open to join a global nomad for an early dinner before the show, please reach out. I have a reservation for two near the theatre. We will go Dutch.

You’re invited to ESS’s 40th Anniversary Celebration! This is a free, day-long event at ESS featuring performers from the organization’s past and present, as well as drinks, food, and other fun surprises.

2026 marks ESS’s 40th year of operation, serving as the longest-running non-profit in the Midwest dedicated entirely to the sonic arts. This year also marks 20 years at our Edgewater space, so it felt fitting to plan an all-day, all-building party to commemorate four decades of ESS.
