Most people perform there because there are laws that prevent multiple shows within Chicago limits.

In other words, they picked your town as filler

Nah but really, there are laws that prevent artists from having multiple shows within a certain amount of miles of Chicago with a certain amount of time. That’s why they’ll book a show right outside of another city, hoping to catch bleed over from the main area along with people in the smaller towns

I wanna say it’s like 90 miles or something like that
