Lyrical Lemonade, the blog and media company founded by the big-deal music-video director Cole Bennett, has been putting on its Summer Smash festival in Chicago for the past few years, and this year’s lineup has just dropped. You could look at Summer Smash as a mini-Rolling Loud, a place where young and mosh-happy rap fans can go see their favorite insurgent acts without worrying about any dusty relics trying to recapture attention. This year, the fest has Kid Cudi, Future, and Playboi Carti as headliners. Like Rolling Loud, all three days also list big acts in the “special guest” spot: $UICIDEBOY$, Lil Uzi Vert, and “a very special Chicago guest.”

It’s become a beloved tradition: Each holiday season, LCD Soundsystem play a bunch of shows in New York City, their hometown. It started out as a residency at Brooklyn Steel then expanded to other boroughs last year. The band has also camped out in certain cities on tour, doing several nights in markets like Chicago, Seattle, Boston, P...

In retrospect, the entire idea of a Sufjan Stevens Broadway musical feels both far-fetched and inevitable. Last year, director/choreographer Justin Peck and playwright Jackie Sibblies Drury’s Illinoise, an adaptation of Stevens’ 2005 classic Illinois, opened in Chicago. Last month, Illinoise came to New York. It’s c...

When the Chicago punk band Sludgeworth started in 1989, they were a Screeching Weasel side project. At the time, Sludgeworth singer Dan Schafer played bass and guitar in Screeching Weasel, and drummer Brian McQuaid was also in both bands. (Back then, Dan Schafer was known as Dan Vapid, and Brian McQuaid was Brian Vermin.) Pretty soon, both of t...

The Blood Brothers have announced their first tour in a decade. It’ll kick off this fall in San Francisco and run through the end of the year, wrapping up in Chicago.
