The Wallflowers, led by Jakob Dylan, are still going strong over 30 years since their debut. Though their most recent album, Exit Wounds, came out in 2021, they’ll forever be known for their ‘90s staples “One Headlight,” “6th Avenue Heartache,” “The Difference,” and “Three Marlenas.” Hear the latest and greatest from the band during their performance at Thalia Hall with Brother Elsey this Tuesday, June 2, at 8 PM. Get tickets while you still can.
Buzzworthy artist EKKSTACY quickly gained an audience with his deeply honest songs and unique sound. Blending elements of hip hop, hyper pop, emo, rock, and new wave, he’s not afraid to lay his soul bare about his own personal highs and lows. The Canadian singer/songwriter will perform a sold-out show at Outset on Friday, July 5 at 6:30 PM.
Start your engines! The NASCAR Chicago street race is returning this weekend. In addition to cars zipping through the streets, the event boasts performances by The Chainsmokers, The Black Keys, Keith Urban, and Lauren Alaina. It all goes down on July 6 and July 7 in Grant Park. Grab tickets here.
