Sending the 4-Star City to the Lone Star City
The title might be awkward, but the party will be anything but. And the cause? Worth it. This Saturday, beginning at noon and continuing all the way into the wee hours of the morning, the Hideout hosts a day-long music festival devoted to benefiting 18 Chicago bands who are all bound for South by Southwest in Austin, Texas. These are some of the hottest and brightest musicians Chicago has to offer and here’s hoping their SXSW experience helps up the ante on the national scale too.
Each band will receive a case of Goose Island 312 and a bag of road munchies from Whole Foods, and the take from the admission price will be split up evenly amongst all of the musicians to help with transportation costs. Additionally, the show is sponsored by ASCAP , who is providing the support for quick band changes.
Details and lineup below!
Doors: Open at 11:30am.
Tickets: No advance tickets will be sold. First come first serve. $10 for the entire day (in and out permitted)
