Following the opening of the outdoor portion this summer, 16" on Center, the hospitality collective behind Chicago venues The Empty Bottle, Thalia Hall, Evanston SPACE, Beauty Bar, and The Promontory, have announced a new performance space, The Salt Shed, located inside Chicago's Morton Salt Building. It will feature an L-Acoustics sound system designed specifically for the space and multi-level grandstand seating, and there are plans for retail, food, beverages, indoor markets, and other creative events to eventually be hosted there as well as live music.
They've announced the initial lineup, with shows starting in February and including Iggy Pop, The Roots, Bikini Kill, The Flaming Lips, Fever Ray, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard (part of their US residency tour), The Hold Steady and The Mountain Goats (with Dillinger Four), Viagra Boys, Third Eye Blind, Placebo, Nil Frahm, Tyler Childers, First Aid Kit, and more. See the full schedule so far below.
Tickets to all dates go on sale Friday, November 18 at 10 AM CST.
