House Music is Home Pre-Party at Sound Bar

You're looking at the warmup before the main event, but honestly, Sound Bar *is* the main event for house heads. This River North institution is pulling together a stacked DJ lineup that'll get you properly primed for Navy Pier—think peak-hour energy in an intimate setting where you can actually hear the music's details before the festival crowds hit. $15 gets you in the door for what's basically a masterclass in Chicago house, 21+ only, and you'll want to arrive early enough to catch the whole lineup build.
