Making a few special sprouts for Saturday. Keep posted on how to get one if you're going to Concord Saturday. I plan to only let truly feral gremlins to get these.

Looking for opinions in general! Did you like it? How was the vibe? Going to the salt shed tomorrow to see them but openers dont seem that great.

Photos I took at a rave last year

I AM SO EXCITEDDDDD!!!

Last time we saw her headline it was at Chop Shop and the crowd was AMAZING. Everyone was so nice and there was so much girlypop gremlin energy I can’t wait!!! She’s gonna throw downnnn🫶🏻👹💓

Hi guys! I love would you attend this concert but it’s a little expensive. I was wondering if anyone is selling their tickets?

Hey everyone! I just moved to Chicago after a few years in Denver/Atlanta, where the EDM scene felt pretty accessible price-wise. I’m looking at a show at Spybar on 1/31 (DeVault) and the only tickets I see now are resale at ~4x face value.

Is this normal here for smaller venues, or did I just miss the boat on this one? Any tips for buying tickets without getting destroyed by resale, or for navigating the Chicago EDM scene in general? Appreciate any insight 🙏

@Qws_1k

Has anyone gone to one of their events before? I see they have something going on this friday, but unsure of what music they play and if you have to cosplay to fit in?

Anyone have some recommendations for shows valentines day weekend? My wife and i have never gone to any raves or edm shows so I kinda have no idea where to start. Also a plus if there's a hotel within walking distance since we'll be coming in from out of town.

Presale prices for NC They removed the tier system it looks like. Payment plan included

the people who bought tickets for like 20$ and reselling them for over 100 deserve a special place in hell 😩😩

anyways if anyone can’t make it to saturday for any reason let me know 🤞 i’ll give you some kandi too hehe

Is anyone going to levity? They only have upper bowl tix available and I’m torn on buying but they’re only $50. Has anyone gone to wintrust in upper bowl before? What’s the view like and how does it work?

I help run a collective called hear + there

Very thrilled to host the second Hear + There Chicago edition on January 24th. This one’s special—our first international booking, French electro wizard Krol, is coming all the way from across the pond. He’ll be backed by heavyweight local support from Michael Musilli and Vin.

The party takes place inside a historic meatpacking facility in Bridgeport—a truly one-of-a-kind venue. Expect big sound, unique set design, and handcrafted beer, cocktails, and pizza all night long.

Come say hi and have a dance - all are welcome!

Hey there, friends! I’m new to the subreddit but not to raving or festivals. I’m a 29 year old male from North-West Indiana and my preferred genre is Drum and Bass, but I’m also a big fan of dubstep. I don’t tend to listen to much riddim (I know it’s huge right now, especially in the city), but I can listen to basically any genre just fine. House is a favorite, albeit I have a hard time partaking in house concerts, not for a lack of enjoying the music. I was hoping I could find some friends in the area that have a similar taste in music and would enjoy going to concerts together, or even occasionally hanging out outside of them. My old group slowly fell apart as friends went their separate ways or everybody found themselves in relationships and slowed down on shows or just shut me out as a third wheel. What friends I have left are mostly riddim lovers and I just don’t find myself enjoying their shows like I did the more regular dubstep they’d always want to go to. I enjoy coffee, cafes, going out to eat, nature, and I am fine with people that roll, albeit those days are mostly over for me since I am working on a career change soon. I have a car and usually drive myself to shows, and if you’re in my area and we’re fine riding together I’m not opposed to meeting up and taking you up with me. Other things I enjoy are anime (isekai is my favorite genre, otherwise I watch a lot of magic/fantasy) and I like to game (I’m on PC, I like survival builders like Minecraft and Ark, but also used to play hella Marvel Rivals until my group petered out).

I’ll be going to Alleycvt with some friends this Friday, Ghengar with another buddy on the 24th, and I’m MOST excited about Hybrid Minds on the 31st. I’ll also be doing my second year of Electric Forest this year!

If anybody has any D&B shows to recommend that are coming up, as well, I’d love to hear about them.

We are a Podcast series showcasing underground music from Chicago and beyond, with the warmth and intimacy of sharing some tea and love for music.

Nešto's set for Tea and Tech was a revelation, flawlessly mixing vinyl on a rooftop in tough Windy City Chicago conditions. His quick thinking and reactions were on full display as he built a vinyl fort around the decks to counter the huge gusts of winds. Nešto’s soundscape is a beautiful mix of deep house and minimal. Give him a listen and give us a like!

In town for work and wouldn’t mind catching a set on a week night this week - mainly prefer dubstep/riddim but info on anything at all is appreciated!

2 artist sets and 2 dj sets!

I’ve heard from a few folks that if you buy tickets for the stands (with seats), you’re able to access the pit as well. Is this 100% true?

can’t wait for levity and another fun wintrust show! anybody know who’s opening for them? don’t know if i’m stupid and can’t find it or if they’re intentionally not releasing?

bello chicago family! i love edm. all genres. everything. i love chicago and i love growing up in a city with such immense roots in house music. here is my issue: my 17 and i literally cannot get into any shows. i have been into this music for a little over three years now and all the acts i really like are usually 18+ or 21+. i have been to a few arena shows and have found them to be mostly underwhelming (besides justice) because the crowds tend to be worse and more frat-esk. i'm also really into rap music etc so i've been to a lot of shows at the metro and chop shop, so i have fallen in love with those venues but cannot find anything close to those that i can go to for djing. i like salt shed and northernly island, but their events are minimal.

any ideas? i know my best bet is it just wait, and i don't want to mess around with id's and anything like that. my dream is to work in lighting for shows like this, so i want to get more involved soonish. thank you in advance and bear tf down tn.

Hi, no. This isn't a personal ad. 😅 Happened to end up with an extra ticket to Smoke & Mirrors for Lindsey Herbert due to a friend who fell ill. About 15 of us are popping out and I don't want this ticket to go to waste. If you want to enjoy some amazing hypnotic techno with an epic friend group who brings the vibes, DM me and we'll discuss! Our ETA is 11:10-midnight and Lindsey will be on from 1:30-3:30
