HOLLISTER PRESENTS:

KEEP THAT LOLLA ENERGY GOING

🎤 BlackPink

Today at Soldier Field

The queens of K-Pop are back and they’re about to set Chicago on fire (metaphorically… mostly). Expect pyrotechnics, flawless choreo, and a crowd screaming every word. If you’re not wearing something sparkly, are you even trying?

🎶 Lord Huron

Tomorrow at The Salt Shed

The masters of dreamy, cinematic folk-rock are rolling into The Salt Shed, and yes, you will feel like the main character in an indie film under the Chicago night sky. Don’t miss that live “Ends of the Earth” magic. The show is sold out - but you can still win tickets!

🍔 Taste of River North

Today & Tomorrow in River North

Taste of River North is basically Chicago’s cheat day — and we’re here for it. Think endless bites from River North’s best restaurants, live bands that keep the dance floor packed, and that perfect summer beer-in-hand energy. Show up hungry.

🎨 Windy City Market Vintage Artisan Fest

Tomorrow & Sunday at Chicago Athletic Association

Windy City Market is bringing together local vintage curators, indie makers, and food vendors for a one-day treasure hunt that smells like candle wax and victory. Come for the finds, stay for the vibes.

The Superwrestlers

Back from the dead and ready to dismantle the space-time continuum—The SuperWrestlers return 9/14 with Night of the Superwrestlers. It’s sci-fi smackdown meets Chicago chaos in a night of mayhem and intergalactic glory.
