Chicago Blackout Fest: Lineup and Tickets
By Team JamBase Apr 12, 2011 • 9:06 am PDT

From 2001-2006, the Chicago Blackout Festival was the first purely Midwest rock & roll festival, celebrating the yearly release of Horizontal Action Magazine. Each year drew sold-out, international crowds to witness the wide range of unique underground performers.
Five years later, HoZac Records has announced it’s return set for May 27-28 at the Velvet Perineum in Logan Square, Chicago, IL. Tickets are available now for Friday and Saturday’s shows including a limited number of “golden tickets” granting reduced price entry to both dates and guaranteed entry to the Thursday night event at the Velvet Perineum in Logan Square.
