Doors: 9PM / Show: 10PM / 21+ In January 2025 Alex Cameron exploded his life in a controlled detonation largely ignored by the universe. No one was safe. And nobody noticed. The charred remains of Cameron's life fragmented and reassembled into 9 synthetic rock songs detailing his world's deep confusion and regret. He continues to find pieces of his own reflection in the shattered characters he creates and embodies. Their yearnings and their humiliations. The promised Messiah. Agamemnon's appetite for war. Mel Gibson's ransom note. Humanity's Pro-War destiny. A cold war breakup. This is the sound of a man walking out on somebody else's family. Into a new world afraid to remember what it used to be. These are songs of protest against life itself. This is the world our fathers feared. And here is its soundtrack.

Presenting their new album Deuce live for the first time in Chicago, Manu Delago and Max ZT, the two Grammy nominated instrument innovators unite in a bold new duo, reimagining their melodic and percussive instruments to create soundscapes of delicacy, depth and drive. Having met Max ZT 10 years ago when Manu Delago was touring in the US with Bjork, the two musicians formed a striking connection that draws from a lifetime of global collaboration, deep improvisation, and refined compositional craft. Together Manu Delago (handpan) and Max ZT (hammered dulcimer) create immersive, rhythmic, lush, meditative soundscapes. The Austrian nature lover and the foremost handpan player on the planet, Manu Delago, who has also released several solo albums on his own, has played in iconic venues and festivals in more than 50 countries around the world with diverse artists such as Björk, Anoushka Shankar, Ólafur Arnalds, Cinematic Orchestra and more. IL native and Brooklyn resident, Max ZT, hailed by NPR as "The Jimi Hendrix of the hammered dulcimer," has redefined the instrument through global study and innovation learning from Indian classical music from santoor legend Shivkumar Sharma and melodies of the kora in Mali in West Africa with the Sissoko family of griot musicians. Max also plays live and records with his Grammy Nominated band, House of Waters. The Manu and Max released their debut album Deuce in early 2026 which has received high praise and media attention worldwide. The duo toured Europe and UK in 2026 and are set to make their live US debut with a tour in the spring of 2027. Rooted in rhythm, rich in texture and melodies, and open in spirit, the duo invite listeners into a world that feels both ancient and somehow entirely new.

Tickets starting at $30 & fees. Paco Versailles is a collaboration between guitarist/composer/producer Vahagni and songwriter/producer Ryan Merchant. Their sound is a mix of flamenco guitar rhythms with disco leaning electronic production and captivating vocals, a new genre they call “Dancemenco”. The name Paco Versailles was conceived while imagining a collaboration between their biggestinfluences, the legendary Spanish guitarist Paco De Lucia and French electronic artists Daft Punkand Air, both products of the Parisian suburb of Versailles. Paco Versailles is currently rolling out their new album Azucar. The release will be followed by a North American and European tour in 2027.

Destroy Boys have partnered with PLUS1 to direct $1 from every ticket to local organizations expanding food access, supporting mutual aid, and protecting Indigenous lands. They've also teamed up with Concerted so fans can trade local volunteer hours in these cause areas for a limited number of tickets at each tour stop. FOIE GRAS, Destroy Boys' fifth album, feels like the record the band has been working toward all along. It's bigger, stranger, and more confident than what came before, without losing the immediacy that got them started. Roditis and Mayugba formed the band when they were 15, playing DIY shows around Sacramento while still in high school. Over the past decade, Destroy Boys have grown from those house shows into an international touring band, opening for Blink-182, Pierce the Veil, and Rise Against. Their songs have gotten harder to pin down, too: punk remains the foundation, but grunge, pop, post-punk, Britpop, bossa nova, and jazz all find their way in. Produced by Zach Tuch, with additional contributions from Frank Iero, FOIE GRAS pushes that restlessness further. It's the sound of a band finally giving itself permission to follow its instincts, no matter the risk---and, in the process, making its best record yet.

For more than three decades, Cornelius has occupied a singular space in contemporary music. The long-running project of Japanese musician, producer and composer Keigo Oyamada, Cornelius emerged in the early 1990s following the dissolution of Tokyo pop group Flipper's Guitar, before becoming one of the most distinctive and forward-thinking names in modern experimental pop. International breakthrough Fantasma (1997) established Oyamada as a restless sonic architect, stitching together psychedelic pop, electronic music, musique concrète, hip hop and avant-garde composition into something playful, hyper-detailed and impossible to pin down. The album became a cult touchstone, while subsequent releases including Point and Sensuous further expanded his intricate, cinematic sound. Alongside his own records, Oyamada has collaborated with artists including Blur, Beck, MGMT, James Brown and Yoko Ono, while his precision-synchronised live shows have long blurred the line between concert and audiovisual installation. Nearly three decades later, Fantasma B-side , "rdquo" -> Typewrite Lesson" has also found a new generation of listeners, recently going viral on TikTok and receiving support from artists including Rosalía. Yet 'REFRACTIONS' feels less like a continuation than the beginning of another transformation. Written between 2024 and the end of 2025, the album explores ideas of perception, shifting realities, memory and interconnected consciousness, not through overt narrative but through structure, texture and movement itself. , "rdquo" -> As the world and my surroundings changed at an intense speed, I think all of that inevitably shaped this work,"Oyamada explains. , "rdquo" -> Rather than expressing these ideas directly, I approached them structurally --- exploring continuity, transformation, and multiple coexisting states within a single, uninterrupted flow of time." That sense of fluidity runs throughout 'REFRACTIONS'. Songs dissolve and reform, melodies appear like half-remembered signals before refracting into new shapes, while acoustic instrumentation, digital manipulation and spectral electronics coexist in constantly shifting balance. At times intimate and weightless; elsewhere disorienting and densely layered, the album feels like fragments of parallel realities briefly overlapping. The album also marks a move outward. Where previous records such as Mellow Waves and Dream In Dream often carried a solitary, inward-facing quality, Refractions was consciously shaped through collaboration and exchange. , "rdquo" -> This time, instead of turning inward, I wanted to open the work through interaction with others," says Oyamada. , "rdquo" -> I've come to feel more strongly that reality is not something completed within oneself, but something shaped through relationships and exchanges." 'REFRACTIONS' is available online now, with physical copies available to pre-order through all good record stores. ''Refractions'' album links: https://linktr.ee/Cornelius_Japan

This is The New Alternative: a new genre for the 21st century. More specifically: a new genre for music's optimized VC-funded super deluxe remixed AI-enhanced algorithmically perfected wild west 2020s, where a million streams is great, a billion even better, and a trillion well within reach. On their fifth album ZIRP!, DIIV emphatically and ecstatically embrace the underground pedigree and the pop instinct that have anchored the band like magnetic poles for the better part of their career---smashing them together in pursuit of a sound that pre-empts any notion that Zachary Cole Smith, Andrew Bailey, Colin Caulfield and Ben Newman have ever been playing between worlds. Put more simply, on ZIRP! DIIV answer the simple questions that so many bands can't: What would it mean to grow up? And glow up, too? For as long as they've been making music, DIIV have been victims of a world without the vocabulary to describe their willingness to braid the harshness of genres like shoegaze (on 2024's Frog In Boiling Water) and grunge (2019's Deceiver) with mellifluous and memorable pop melody. Over the years, the world has caught up with them, with artists like Slayyyter, Eartheater and Turnstile forcing old-guard gatekeepers to find new ways to describe this gleeful disregard for old-fashioned scene designations and genre tags. With ZIRP!---and their embrace of The New Alternative---DIIV lock in on a name for the universe they've been chasing for all these years, and a sound that represents the apotheosis of that universe. Produced by British pop wizard A. G. Cook (Caroline Polachek, Charli XCX)---a chief architect of our current post-category future---ZIRP!, named for the zero interest rate policies that drew us into a world of failed startups and turned us all into atomised , "rdquo" -> users," expands on the themes of Frog In Boiling Water with a newfound lightness. Here, Palantir, societal breakdown and streaming's endless hamster wheel are all fodder for rich, sparkling pop songs: Album opener and lead single , "rdquo" -> The Fountain" pairs the sprawl and squall of DIIV records past with a jolting rhythmic guitar section that has arena-filling potential, while , "rdquo" -> Evangelizer" taps into the sweet-and-sour mainstream appeal of bands like Linkin Park and System Of A Down. Throughout, the band is zeroing in on its punchiest, most memorable melodies to date, each new internal hook and tossed-off earworm indicative of a band more than ready to make good on its ability to play in the mainstream.

Crowned the heir to the French Touch and dubbed by Jean-Michel Jarre himself, Simon Henner (French 79), has established himself as an essential pillar of the global electronic music scene. In the space of three foundational albums (Olympic, Joshua, and TEENAGERS), the Marseille-based producer has shaped a singular, immersive, and viscerally unifying musical universe. If his music reaches far beyond the boundaries of the techno sphere, it is thanks to its synesthetic power: his harmonic sequences and arpeggios transform sounds into emotional landscapes, creating a universal connection with his audience.Today, the impact of French 79 is reflected in staggering numbers. He gathers a community of 770,000 fans and accumulates over 1.7 million monthly listeners on Spotify. His first three albums have generated more than 150 million streams, driven by music videos that exceed 50 million views. He continues to rack up prestigious certifications, with two export platinum singles (Diamond Veins and Lovin Feeling), not to mention the resounding diamond single Moon, produced and co-composed for Kid Francescoli.On stage, the triumph is absolute: his last tour thrilled 180,000 spectators across 106 dates in 23 countries, with a string of sold-out shows from Paris to Los Angeles. His creative influence has also conquered new spaces: he composed the original soundtrack for Reda Katebs film Sur un fil, scores campaigns for prestigious brands (Apple, Dior, LOral, Emily in Paris), and creates monumental events, whether its the video mapping of Place Stanislas in Nancy or performing alongside Cerrone for New Years Eve on the Champs-lyses.Yet, at the peak of this effervescence, a vital need for a break emerged. Far from the protective bubble of tour life (sound engineers, managers, crowds), Simon Henner felt the urgent need to return to calm, to lose himself in order to find himself, and to listen to the silence. A huge enthusiast of extreme and outdoor sports (paragliding, kite surfing, ski touring, sailing, etc.), the artist has made radical adventure his new creative laboratory.To design his fourth album, expected by the end of 2026, French 79 relocated his studio. Fleeing software and sedentary comfort, he built his own modular synthesizer housed in a suitcase. This nomadic studio followed him into extreme environments: from his sailboat in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea in the dead of night, to isolated mountain huts surrounding the 4,000-meter peaks of Chamonix.By reconnecting with a primitive and carnal relationship with electronics (plugging in cables in the freezing cold, recording sound directly to tape), he has transformed adrenaline and physical fear into musical matter. This new opus will be a philosophical quest, resonating as a double homage to the pioneers of extreme exploration and to the overwhelming immensity of nature.
