Exploring the Challenges Faced by Chicago's Venues

Chicago's vibrant music scene relies heavily on independent venues that provide a platform for local and national artists. However, the current pandemic has forced numerous venues to suspend operations, leading to financial struggles and an uncertain future. Block Club Chicago's interview with Hideout sheds light on these challenges and the potential closure of venues without government assistance.

The Impact of the Pandemic on National Independents

According to a recent survey, an alarming 90% of national independent venues state that they will be forced to close their doors permanently unless they receive government assistance. This statistic serves as a wake-up call for the community and underscores the urgent need for support.
