anything happening june 17-18th?? know it’s a weekday but lmk!
DM @bookclubchi for address
I’m going in a group of 4 and we’ve all been to shows but other than Riotfest this’ll be all of our first real festival.
Initially I didn’t wanna bring a Camelbak when there was just going to be two of us (since we both like to dance and it seemed like it’d be cumbersome lol), but now that it’s a group of four I feel like it would be easier to switch off holding it and also I keep hearing horror stories about the water refill stations at EDC this weekend lol (obvi it won’t be nearly as hot here as it is in Vegas rn, but just the lines for water gleeful sound atrocious)
Also, we all got GA+ which I believe is supposed to include additional water refill stations and air-conditioned bathrooms, But when they release the map, I only saw the general bathrooms marked and the VIP bathrooms marked so now I’m a little dubious if our bathroom/water refill situation will be better than regular GA?
All and any tips appreciated, TIA!
One is playing at Radius and the other is Cermak Hall (the side room of Radius). If I wanna be able to hop back forth between the sets are the doors to Cermak usually open? Or will there be security there/I’d need a ticket for both?
I come to Chicago from Wisconsin often to hit electronic shows and it is great, but driving so far home at 2am after can get old. From what I've seen it is really tough to find affordable hotels or airbnbs anywhere near the city.
Any tips on finding places to stay for the night on a weekend without paying $200 or driving an hour out of the city? Or if I do have to drive out of the city, where should I go? Im hitting a show Saturday and have another thing going on early afternoon sunday so it would be cool to get a room, but even crap motels are high priced.
it’ll be my first time going to a show at concord, so I’m not sure what to expect! anyone see a 360 show there before?
I didn’t see much talk after the show. How was it? How was navy pier as a venue?
If so, thoughts? Are they worth checking out at electric forest
Big long shot here but i met a short queen named Daphne at prysm last Saturday during the kyle walker show and shes been heavy on my mind. Anyone know a 4’11” 28 year old female named Daphne who lives in Chicago? I dont know her last name so finding her on sm has been difficult lol
Okay just got an email of what the layout for the festival is gonna look like. Thoughts??? I like it but honestly would’ve loved if the Mad Hatter and Queen’s Domain was switched? Idk maybe cause of the actual venues layout it would’ve been difficult? Regardless still can’t wait! Hope everyone has an awesome time!!
Join us every Wednesday for some global/tropical bass, Latin edm and everything in between! 1st floor of Bourbon on Division!
Hey All, is there a designated merch area inside of Concord? I’ve been about 5 times and have never seen merch, im wondering if it’s in a specific area and i just haven’t seen it. Hoping that Space Laces has some merch next week
I have been to multiple concerts and festivals held at Northerly Island, but where is the best parking for an event held there? I tend to use spot hero but it is usually about a mile walk. I was just curious if there is anything closer? If y’all could help that would be great!
Solomun would be cool, no John Summit in Chicago this summer (as of now) has me thinking he could be a possibility? What are people’s guesses
Ticketmaster won’t allow me to transfer extra tickets to people. Is anyone else having issues with this?
Hey y’all, attended the Luude show at smoke and mirrors yesterday. Had a fantastic time except for the guy near the front in a polo shirt was clearly too drugged out and faded to be there. Kept “bumping” into and groping girls in the front. Was clearly with a group of guys that were mostly fine so I’m completely confused why his friends were not caring/dealing with him.
It got so bad that all the girls near the front confronted his friends and said he needs to go or we’re calling security over. Finally his friends did something after ignoring him and dapping up luude all night. However, it was short lived, they carted him off for a few minutes and he was right back in the thick of it being creepy till the end of the night.
How do yall deal with creepy drugged out men that are violating several people’s boundaries? I guess I should’ve notified security, but being in front of the dj, it was hard to find the security or get out.
Does anyone have an access code for Hannah Wants @ Smoke & Mirrors June 2nd? It seems like its currently available for people with a Beyond Wonderland ticket, can anyone hook me up with a promo code to let me buy a ticket (without going to Beyond Wonderland)? I love Hannah Wants and have been really impressed with Smoke & Mirrors. Thanks!
Hey y'all! Wanted to post one more time before the big day :)
I hope you've been well and listening to good music with good people. Back at it with another rave and had to make sure my reddit friends heard the word <3
This one is in a dope venue. Two rooms of music, with one room being techno (think hard groove) and the other being various faster genres, mostly DnB and jungle. Crazy lineup, creative art and light installs, cozy chill area, and some other amenities. The works :) Come as you are, we’ll take care of the rest. We welcome everyone, whether you're a solo-raver, showing up with the homies, or if this is your first time!
Early bird is gone, but there's a few cheaper tier tickets left. However, if you find cost prohibitive at any point, hmu with a little context and we'll try to take care of you <3
If you're interested, comment/ message me. I'll get you the link/some more info. Some of you may already have tickets if you follow the crew
Until then! Be safe out there tonight
