Show Calendar
August 2012 – April 2014
I anticipate getting dragged to other stages with a group or being too hung over to get there early, but in a perfect world, here’s my 2012 Lolla schedule.
Friday @ Congress Theatre
Saturday + Sunday @ Humboldt Park (Division and California)
It’s a little late in the season, and in kind of a weird place but it’s cheap.
Tickets
Elvis Costello | Iggy & the Stooges| Nofx | Gogol Bordello | Alkaline Trio | Dropkick Murphys | Descendents | Offspring | Coheed and Cambria | More
Sold Out
My Morning Jacket front man Jim James comes to the Vic for a 420 show.
His new solo album, Regions of Light and Sound of God, is great and is currently streaming for free on NPR’s First Listen.

My first camping festival! Figured I should do it before I’m too old…
A bit of a Lollapalooza overlap, but come on, Paul McCartney!

Bjork, R Kelly, Belle & Sebastian, MIA, Low, Chairlift, Foxygen, Mac Demarco, Frankie Rose, many more
Never miss it. Scored a 3 day in the 5 seconds before they sold out. Hope my buddies don’t get scalped too hard to get in…
I’ve seen Conor Oberst with Bright Eyes, Monsters of Folk, and as himself, but never with Desaparecidos – his rock band. They put out one awesome record called Read Music, Speak Spanish 10 years ago and then disappeared until reuniting for a small reunion tour last summer. This is their first time in Chicago since reforming.
Tickets
Opener: Laura Stevenson
Tim Kasher of Cursive and The Good Life is coming to the Empty Bottle on his tour for his second solo album, Adult Film – out October 8th.
6:00 pm doors / 8:00 show
Opener: Juan Wauters
The late show sold out before I got my shit together, so I’m going to the 6:30 show. I saw this young Canadian at Pitchfork and he was awesome. I’m looking forward to this one. Bonus – I can be drunk and home by 10:00 pm.
