COMING UP

🪄 The Close-Up Show

Every Monday at Chicago Magic Lounge (7:30PM)

Never worry about triple-checking a seating chart when you're heading to The Close-Up Show; every seat is the best in the house. Experience the magic yourself every Monday! Get tickets here.*

🇵🇷 Puerto Rican Fest

Tomorrow through Sunday in Humboldt Park (3PM)

Celebrate the vibrant culture of Puerto Rico at Puerto Rican Fest! Think: bomba drums, street food you’ll dream about mid-meeting, and enough salsa dancing to qualify as cardio.

🐈‍⬛ Friday the 13th Tattoo Deals

Flash sheets, cheap tats, and questionable decisions inked in permanent marker—just the way Jason Voorhees intended. Walk in, roll the dice, leave with a tiny bat, dagger, or cursed heart. Find our favorite Friday the 13th deals this week.

🎶 Jet

Saturday at The Salt Shed (8PM)

Are you gonna be their girl? Again? Good. JET’s back, still loud, still cocky, and still strutting like it’s 2003. Bonus: Band of Skulls opens, so expect riffs that could legally be classified as a controlled substance. Wear boots. Bring attitude.

🤘 Jack’s Mannequin (SOLD OUT)

Friday, June 20th at The Salt Shed (7PM)

It’s 2005 again, your AIM away message is moody lyrics, and Jack’s Mannequin is back to make you feel all the feelings. You made it through your emo phase—now let’s romanticize it. Show is SOLD OUT - but you can still win tickets!

Wrath of The Superwrestlers

Get ready for Wrath of The Superwrestlers at Concord Music Hall on June 15th. Danger and insanity collide in this wild wrestling showdown. Score tickets or enter to win a pair today!
