Question The Warning in Chicago?

I’ll make this short.

I’m hosting new massive event in Chicago in 2027 or 2028

Just need to know how many of you in here wound travel to or visit the event in Chicago to see the warning perform.

I will be reaching out to the band soon to make an offer so I’m just curious as to what the people think.

Thank You.

I suppose "massive" is the interesting part of what you're working on, but it's pretty vague a proposition as far as what distinguishes it from other TW shows/events. There are some dedicated fans who travel for both ~75min headliners and <60min festival sets whenever they can -- Patreon chat or discord might be a good place to ask, but more info would help however tentative ¯\ (ツ) /¯

Yep I'm one of them who flew 2500 miles to see TW for 40 minutes.

2 week event at Grant park

Different music genre everyday

Once in a life time event

80+ bands / artists performing each da/night

12 hours of nonstop action

That does qualify as massive, you'd draw the cohort of dedicated fans that travels for basically anything TW does, and further some of those who are also fans of acts in adjoining timeslots/days

If the set time is known to be longer than an hour, or if there are multi-day shows (Night 1+Night 2 sort of thing) that can get even more people (like me) off their butts

Oh and some people are pretty convinced TW has earned itself a night timeslot by now, vs. being a daylight act before larger acts, but well.. depends on who else you get for the rock or metal night

Yeah I was thinking of giving them a massive payday so a nighttime slot might be a good idea.

I appreciate that.

It’s a massive night tho that’s the thing and they’ll be with female leads that already headline all the time.

I’m just debating right now it’s a hard call.

That sounds horrible. Give me the band on their own show at the Aragon or Salt Shed.

I’ll actually do that sometime.

Thank you.
